The Office of Government Property says £7bn is needed to maintain the school estate. This government spends a third of that. It's not just RAAC. The National Audit Office advises that 700k pupils are in schools in desperate need of repair. Our letter to the PM today.

Just a few days before the first ever Troublemakers At Work conference! There are still tickets left and some rooms going. If you need help with travel or accommodation let us know and we try and help!

@grantshapps @Keir_Starmer What a plonka.

I’ve written to @Keir_Starmer to request he pays for the criminal damage the Just Stop Oil attacks on the Energy Security Department caused this morning As the political wing of Just Stop Oil, it is the Labour Party not the taxpayer that should be paying the bill

Every time a class gets bigger, the quality of education for each child is reduced. Inadequate funding has led to an explosion of class sizes. Fund schools properly. #SaveOurSchools #DoYourJobGill #payupnow

How wages have faired. MPs: Pay ⬆️ 22% in real terms since 2010 Bankers: Bonuses ⬆️ 101% in cash terms since 2008 CEOs: Pay ⬆️ 23% in 2022 alone Teachers: Pay 🔻 24% since 2010 Nurses: Pay 🔻 20% since 2010 Whose wages are causing the inflation?

@amymayforrester Yes. The government should properly fund educators and schools, then it wouldn't be an issue.

Is anyone going to talk about how much split day strikes are going to compound the already astronomical issues every school is facing with regards to attendance?

If we are to win, it is vital that you vote: post your vote asap so that it is counted. The envelope will be marked ‘YOUR NEU BALLOT PAPER ENCLOSED’. We urge you to again vote in favour of strike action for a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise. #PayUpNow #SaveOurSchools

Today, @EndChildPoverty published new figures showing that 4.2m children are living in poverty. This can’t go on any longer. We are calling on the Govt to scrap the two child limit for benefit payments, immediately lifting 250,000 children out of poverty.”#NoChildLeftBehind

Teachers: get your ballot in the post. Support staff: look out for your text and email from Wednesday. #payup #payupnow #saveourschools

📺 WATCH: Simon Bennett and @CovDistrictNEU members met with their MP @zarahsultana to discuss the crisis in education. We urge you to vote in favour of strike action for a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise in the re-ballot. #PayUpNow © @HARK_Films youtu.be/fPrOm2PpsuA
