Many children with special needs stay safe and learn because of the incredible staff that support them. Balancing budgets by cutting essential support staff is not a viable option for the large majority of schools. Thank you @SimonKnight100.

@DavidBartram_ 3 and 7 got our votes here.

@rosylight That look… #catdeathstare

1/ Having been promised an energy price freeze, millions will be shocked when hit with a 25% rise in fuel bills in October. 5 million kids risk being pushed into poverty, with charities having to stop feeding the hungry so they can help the starving. We have to act. [THREAD]

What can we learn from the death of the #Queen? The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named. Let's notice what nobody mentioned: we all saw the Queen going through the stages of ordinary dying. A 🧵... 1/

@Putneygirl09 It’s in the plan…. theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/m…

Bloody hell Hue! She isn’t dead yet! Leave off the black tie and suit until she actually dies.

@mattforde Completely baffled by the objections to this tweet. What level of entitlement exists that people think it’s ok to stay with a crying baby through a show? Ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️

Someone brought their baby to my show last night. Sadly it derailed large parts of it because they wouldn't do the decent thing and just leave when it started crying. I get that it must be tough as a new parent but please, don't bring babies to adult shows. It's always a problem.

If I wasn’t feeling so desperate about the whole shitshow, I’d take more joy from this elegant bit of wordsmithery.

Tragic news The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr) Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

I estimate that in October, 50% of children – 7 million kids - will be in households that have to do without material necessities. If nothing’s done before another increase in Jan, the fuel poor could rise to 39m – including 4 out of 5 lone parents, pensioners and large families.

Very appreciative of the @networkrail engineers toiling in the heat to fix a broken signal just outside #ely this morning. And to the staff at #ely station keeping us as informed as they could.

@greateranglia @violetposy Not when there’s a signal failure. Which may be why @violetposy was asking?

@violetposy Hi Violet. It takes roughly 20 minutes to go from Ely to Cambridge via train. Georgie

@whittaker_hr It may be a historical quote, but her campaign is still touting it today. I despair.

@vicksterbuk She did say that in 2011 - she’s probably changed her mind since then - she tends to do that!

Fml. Cost of living crisis? Broken SEND system? Teachers leaving in droves? Surely even the Conservative membership is feeling a bit queasy by now, having to choose one of these jokers with their pandering to a mythical bygone era.

@PrideEly thanks for a great day - warm, welcoming, inclusive. Proud to be an Ely-ite.

Hello hello hello! Great flavour of life in Ely today as the city celebrated #Pride. Photos by ⁦@abovebritain⁩ and a full selection coming to ⁦@elystandard⁩

I don’t know what the latest shit being thrown at @BootstrapCook is, but for me, they are a shining example of the very best of us. Humane, generous and actively DOING SOMETHING to help others. You are truly one of my heroes. Thank you for everything you do.
