OK. Enough is enough. I loved Twitter. LOVED IT. Re-joined to see how things were now. How are any of you still using this platform? The 'man' is an absolute MONSTER.

Just seen @TheSimonEvans for the first time in over 10 years. Well worth the wait - and well worth a watch if you can catch The Work of the Devil. I'm not one of the extended family but smugly content that it turns out we were both born in Luton.

@rhodri Scritti Polliti or have you already Scritti Polliti'd?

What I’ve learnt about schools this year is that by the end of today everything will be sorted, routines and systems will be in place and they’ll be cracking on with the job. Schools, headteachers, school staff. You continue to be amazing. You’ve let nobody down.

A genius is someone who discovers that the stone that falls and the moon that doesn't fall represent the same phenomena. The man who, by the age of 30, transformed the scientific world showing that the universe was mathematically knowable. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Isaac Newton!

This is beyond chaos. How can learning go online tomorrow when teachers were told to spend the last two weeks planning for reopening? What will replace exams? And since the PM was told by SAGE that this would almost certainly be necessary on 22 December why is he so unprepared?

Parents who agonised all night about whether to send their children back to school & who finally decided to trust what PM said yesterday & sent kids back, are understandably feeling so upset & angry. Does PM ever stop to think about consequences of his dithering indecision?

If I were school leader I'd be absolutely spitting that my Christmas was ruined by track and trace, setting up mass testing and trying to communicate ever changing messages from the DfE to parents. What an absolute waste of everyone's time. 🤬

Happy 378th Birthday, Sir Isaac Newton! An English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author whose mind unlocked the laws of motion and universal gravitation, and is recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time.

Well that’s progress. Happy to hear the Prime Minister reference free school meal extension during lockdown. Should never be in question. Let’s all stay safe and check in on each other often.

Your reminder that the government forced London boroughs to keep schools open against their will three weeks ago

Really feeling it for school leaders right now. This is a shambolic approach from the government.

@rhodri Can you send a dram my way, I need some for a recipe 🤪

But let's give a slow clap to the legal threats against schools in these very tier 4 areas to stay open just a week ago.

Appalled at the customer service from @JDSports - I've tried every which way to get info on the order I placed on Nov30th - the 'Bot' tells me it will arrive by Dec6th and the bot on the phone just cut me off

This is almost more perfect because it’s in Spanish.

Couldn’t put it better

I have today written to the members of parliament for the constituencies in which I live and where our schools operate expressing my concerns. This is (mostly) what I wrote. heathldotcom.wordpress.com/2020/05/30/let…

@richardosman Can't wait. Perhaps you should go all out and pop that bath robe on and swig out of the HoG bottle of fizz for the real lockdown look.

Because of this 'interruption' to our filming schedule, there is going to be a weird moment in the next series of #HouseOfGames when it suddenly looks like I have put on two stone overnight.
