It's time to call out these comments. When I started my career, the BBC called a programme I went on, about debt crisis "Hey Big Spender" - I objected. The biggest cause of debt crisis was change of circumstance. Since we've had a pandemic, cost of living crisis, mental health crisis. People lose jobs, lose partners, lose legs. People get cancer, have mental health breakdowns, get disabilities that stop them working. The idea that everyone can have enough saved to bring up a child when they have a child (ie £100,000s) is ludicrous. The idea that we should live in a society where there is no underlying support for people who need it, is dystopian. While there will be a few who desire to be on benefits. I suspect its very much the minority. A huge chunk of those getting Universal Credit are IN WORK. A majority of those getting child benefit are IN WORK. This was about a late payment for money many rely on. Show some bloody compassion!

Happy #nationalnumeracyday! Don't put your maths ability down today. You can address your fears and show others how to do it too. Access support via the link in my bio shorturl.at/izGjD

How do we judge how difficult reformed FSQ maths feels for learners?

Ofqual's main feedback received on reformed FSQs. Third of providers said no. of ESOL learners had increased.

Our first panel is now starting with Lucy Sydney at @ofqual , Nathan Rogan from @E_T_Foundation , Angela Raper and Tom Errington from @educationgovuk as well as our own Simon Ashworth. We’re starting off by appraising the government’s plans to improve maths and English.

Stage is set for a full day of #maths and #English discussion @AELPUK @AELP_events I snuck into main conference hall but now off to join the throng around the pastries! Busy and sunny in Birmingham

We’re getting ready to announce the next #OurHealthHeroes category but in the meantime, listen in as some of our incredible celebrity supporters share their thoughts... 🌟

I shouldn't have watched this when I was so tired (after all the fun and work of the last two days) I may now be staring out of the train window pretending there's nothing in my eye...

Wise words from former apprentice (and from the looks of it future PM 😉) Joseph Lennox at #AAC2024. So important that real apprentice voices continue to be at the heart of everything we do

At the Annual Apprenticeship Conference, just heard that 3/4 million people are currently in apprenticeships in England. Brilliant marker of the ongoing seachange #aac2024
