@bphillipsonMP Support staff shouldn’t be waiting up to 9 months for a pay rise. That wouldn’t happen to teachers. Will you agree the NJC pay award and have it ready for 1 April, then ensure staff receive it no later than June? First test for the Department for Education.

@Katie_Lam_MP I have also just challenged the use of the weekly allowances given and the earnings illegal immigrants are illegally earning.

It's insane that we don't know who is in our country, including any official estimate for how many people are here illegally. I've written to the Home Secretary asking her to publish the complete data, or explain why she won't. We deserve to know the facts about immigration.

@Katie_Lam_MP Lots of residents are also asking MPs and the home office and just getting fobbed off we need to understand the level of risk posed against our children

@SchoolsWeek Question is how long they stay after qualified also

Trainee teacher numbers have grown by 11 per cent this year with the government over-recruiting would-be primary teachers – but it has again missed its target for secondary schoolsweek.co.uk/trainee-teache…

@SchoolsWeek @percyhedley Typo
