I had the honour of representing @GMLO_UK yesterday at @OfficialOAFC #veterans match yesterday, with @aircadets @gmanacf and @SeaCadetsUK The act of remembrance was immaculate from all present and the hospitality from @HMFVETERANSOAFC humbling.

She’s panicking, she knows she’s knee deep in it.

Representing His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant this evening, I visited @SummitUpClimb for the launch of #Nicas inclusive climbing opportunities through @AccessSport A great opportunity for young people in @OldhamCouncil and beyond @GMLO_UK

Great article from @danwnews on the dangers of #illegal #vapes When a headteacher, I spoke often about these risks and the lack of action. This isn’t about ‘bad’ kids, but instead the ease of access to all. We need a solution. news.sky.com/story/spice-in…

@Iromg In my local area 5 such shops, within 500 meters of my home have appeared in the 12 months.

Truly shocking 😜🤦🏻🙄

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@mikeparry8 Isn’t that called democracy, giving people a choice?

I find this shocking .. England players heartily singing the National Anthem .. then in the middle England manager Lee Carsley absolutely struck dumb .. and then at the end England captain Harry Kane singing the anthem at full volume .. Should Carsley be there?

A privilege to attend @CcfNewman #Regimental dinner at @whitehartlydgte with @EamonnONeal this evening. @NewmanRCCollege @CCFcadets

As you start your day, take a moment to remember those that faced this 80 years ago and be thankful for their sacrifices so that you don’t have to experience the same. Thoughts and prayers with all the brave men and women involved. 🫡

I worry that this lesson risks embedding misconceptions about inheritance and natural selection. I also think there is a pretty good chance that pupils will mostly remember drawing Mr Men characters but not the scientific knowledge they actually need. Evolution is one of the most fascinating things to study in science - I don't think it needs to be dressed up to make it interesting.

@OldhamCouncil @BCOldham It has to be questioned, why you are supporting an academy to the tune of £3m when you’ve failed in resolving the building issues at @NewmanRCCollege particularly when you’re in receipt of significant sums as a result of said failures.

Raised this case in Parliament. The PFI owner Amber Infrastructure Group paid out £80m of shareholder dividends since it took on @NewmanRCCollege Our kids and teaching staff deserve better than this. The money is in the system. No more excuses.

A boot from the keeper 🥾 Good hold-up player from the striker 💪 Smart link-up with the midfield 🔄 Finishing with aplomb ⚽️ This was lovely from @BarrowAFC last weekend 👏

If you want to find out more about the writing curriculum at Stanley Road, @missjessrennie and I will be talking about it at @researchEDWarr in a few weeks.

Very pleased to read feedback like this about the impact of our training on developing a curriculum for behaviour.

Many have visited @NewmanRCCollege and experienced our challenges. Despite maturity and resilience of students and staff, it is a situation that should not take over 10 years for a resolution.
