@DaveWardGS @johnmcdonnellMP We are where we are because labour sat on the fence.

THREAD🧵 So you are left wing and thinking of voting Lib-Dem or change UK tomorrow? You are endorsing some of the most vicious anti-worker, anti-union, pro-austerity, pro-privatisation politicians out there 👇

@EmBoycott I think I remember she missed your 21st birthday because she had to go to Waitrose for quinoa?!

I was going to start a Twitter thread of my mother and her middle-class mid life crisis and the texts I receive but she’s now peaked at telling me she’s going to a music festival instead of coming to my graduation in July 😂😂

@CarlyCooks @LondonMarathon Not hard to understand: more than 350,000 entries in the ballot, (far)fewer than 35,000 places, chance less than one in ten. I’ve entered more than 10 times without success - it’s frustrating but it is just statistics.

My Dad has applied for the @LondonMarathon for the past TEN years. TEN. And has not been accepted once. All of his running fwends have got entry but not my lovely Dad! WHY? What's wrong with him? @LondonMarathon, please let him run, he isn't getting any younger.

@Strickomaster And there’s the rub: the science can’t yet measure the ‘teacher factor’. Unless the end of the conversation was ‘we just love the way you focus on the knowledge and reinforce our learning with interleaved practice’?!

Oh dear. Rather too much ‘I’ve got children so I understand how education works’ on #bbcqt right now.

I'm 100% Welsh according to the #welshometer! Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/fun-…

New doctor? I think I've seen 11 since I started watching! I'm trusting Moffat on this one.

Had operation: in and out in three hours. Remarkable work by the docs. Fit in time for start of term I reckon.

Sporting geeky hoodwear: heading for the airport.

So got myself organised for #wonders. Looking forward but not sure if I'm getting too muich @ProfBrianCox lately?

Been to Maplins: bought thermistors and ldrs. Love shopping!

Choosing a new VLE for Nobel: quite excited!

Dragged a load of staff out to see the eclipse. Was an excellent sight from Stevenage this morning.

And meteor showers Mon-Wed evening. Comet 2oo3EH1 (catchy name astronomers!) is burning up. Wrap up warm, get outside and look up!

I'm getting excited already about next week's astronomy. Partial eclipse of the Sun on Tuesday morning. Get up early folks - 8.10 kick off.

I just learned how those little transformers that we use for our phones and stuff get to be so small: very high frequency ac apparently.

Just texted daughter to remind her that she's planned to revise her physics tonight after skiing. No 'thanks' yet!

Physics in the coffee shop today: writing lessons on heat transfer for year9. Got to infra-red radiation - reminded me of a song!

Crikey - apart from an hour in the coffee shop I've worked all day on the summary for P5. Its at the website. I'm off to the gym!

No more Scalextric for me: daughter's cleared off skiing! I'm back to work. Check the website for the first bit of the P5 revise guide.
