If you are thinking of voting Reform in the local council elections, think twice. Their MPs voted against all of the below. They are not a party for the working class!

Of course it is a compliment the way Farage, Braverman and Reform target the NEU. If we weren't effective they would ignore. BUT. There is no higher priority for education and schools, than trying to stop Reform UK having the levers of power. Trump has been a disaster for schools in the US. Farage would be a disaster for schools in the UK.

@GBNEWS They made a mistake that many others have made but not with the devastating consequences. I’m sure not a day goes by that they don’t regret that mistake. I cannot imagine the pain that anyone in their circumstance suffers. It’s tragic.

Hands up who is not frightened to go out of their house in the UK as some want us to believe. 🤚

Do you know what the white working class boys I spent years teaching from the Meadowell in North Shields need? - Properly funded schools. - Teachers and Support staff that are paid fairly and valued by government. - A broad and balanced curriculum. - A fair and supportive system of school inspection. - An end to the two-child benefit cap. Do you know what they don't need? - Another reading test in Year 8

What I find most disappointing about this article from @bphillipsonMP is how it portrays our union - a union representing over 500,000 teachers and support staff - as obstructionist. That’s simply wrong, and frankly, offensive. I’ve spent my whole career teaching white working-class children. No one cares more about their progress than @NEUnion members. More mandatory tests are not the answer. Pigs don’t get fatter the more you weigh them - and children don’t learn to love reading by being tested repeatedly. If we’re serious about improving outcomes for working-class pupils, we need to address the real issues: 1) Child poverty must come down 2) School funding must go up Yet under this government, child poverty is rising and education spending as a share of GDP is at its lowest in 25 years. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Supply teachers are often paid far less than the agencies charge schools for their work. They do the same job as permanent staff but are undervalued and underpaid. #StopTheAgencyRipOff The time for government to act is NOW! ✍️ Write to your MP to demand change. 👉 bit.ly/4777aKx

@educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP Pupils are disengaging, following moving from primary to secondary. ‘I know, let’s test them even more. That’ll engage them!’ says Bridget. Just reaffirms why my vote for Lucy, was absolutely the right choice.

Too many pupils are disengaged after moving from primary to secondary school, leaving them without the skills they need for work and life. Our new Year 8 reading test will help teachers to spot struggling readers early and provide pupils with the support they need to achieve and thrive.

I don’t believe that this is a fully formed party that can challenge for government. I do believe the words that Jeremy Corbyn speaks are the direction that we should be taking. Our unjust system grows division & finger pointing at scapegoats. Refugees are not to blame!
