@sadier01 Tale care Sadie. Rediscover a hobby maybe. Cryptic crosswords or jigsaws. Or learn a language?

Wow - nearly 23,000 cases reported today, compared to under 11,000 a week ago. And I am one of them. Had a few rough days but hopefully getting better. If anyone has suggestions for how to survive several days isolating indoors, please send them!

@sadier01 Beautiful window and view.

Had two exhausting days but... first morning in our new flat!

@MichaelRosenYes I remember that J is 10 and M is 13 but not much else! I would grab paper and write it down tbh.

Huge victory for #Shrewsbury24. Court of Appeal quashes convictions of pickets arrested during National Building Strike in 1972 - including Ricky Tomlinson. Many congratulations to all of them and to indefatigable campaigner Eileen Turnbull

Utterly utterly shocking!

Down in the Tube Station at Midday. Thank you driver. Thank you @ASLEFunion from @NEUnion.

1. Education unions need our support today. Everyone wants children in school but with rocketing infection rates it is time for @GavinWilliamson to do his duty:follow science and close all primary and secondary schools for a few weeks to all but keyworker and vulnerable children.

A message of solidarity to all members of @NEUnion @NAHTnews @ASCL_UK @NASUWT and all education workers from @RMTunion London Transport Region.

We have to stand with school staff and young people & say no to schools reopening on Monday. So many people very anxious about returning with the virus levels so high. None of this is their fault! @NEUnion, school staff and children, we are with you! ✊🏻❤️

The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) called for the Government to move all schools to home learning for a “brief and determined period for most children”, adding that the new strain had created “intolerable risk” to schools,

We have thousands of reps from all the country on our briefing right now. We must #MakeSchoolsSafe to #ProtectCommunities

Getting ready for probably the most important national.executive meeting of the NEU I will ever attend. We are in the middle of a public health crisis. This government is failing the people.

Just hearing: The Association of Kent Headteachers is pressing Kent County Council to move to all Primaries closed - as in London- rather than some in/others out ...
