"@TheIFS estimates school funding per pupil in 2024/25 will be 3% below 2010; college funding will be 11% lower; sixth form funding 27% lower. Mr Sunak must demonstrate that he supports state education by funding it properly”: my comments for @ASCL_UK: buff.ly/3TzZsAw
One to add to the burgeoning list of ill-informed comments about education by politicians who really should know better. Our schools and colleges couldn’t operate without the range of dedicated support staff they employ …

Thank you @WimpoleEstateNT for the new games! There's even more for us to do today. #letsplay
This! France bans 30 kinds of fruit & veg from having any plastic wrapping, inc. apples & cucumbers ‘The environment ministry said there must be curbs on the “outrageous amount of single-use plastic in our daily lives”’ RT if UK shd follow suit @DefraGovUK theguardian.com/world/2021/dec…
Word of the Day is one I’ve repeated often, because the time has surely come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
Apparently Parliament has written a rule which means I can’t take my well behaved, 3-month old, sleeping baby when I speak in chamber. (Still no rule on wearing masks btw). Mothers in the mother of all parliament are not to be seen or heard it seems…. #21stCenturyCalling
That sinking moment when you realise you cut short your first visit to French family in a year in order to test and release in time for A Level results day when extending it would have been a happier, cheaper, and more certain outcome.

Thank you @Brownsouppub We really enjoyed our City Buoys poisson en papillote and Adnams bitter in your beer garden this afternoon.
Thank you @VanderlyleR for the amazing mezze. Your takeaways have been one of our few lockdown highlights. Good luck with the reopening.
Thank you @Brownsouppub for our first pint since lockdown. Your beer garden is looking lovely.
@aonit1 @se23_tweets @SE23life @SE23Forum @se23_news @honoroakorg @bt_uk @BTGroup @openreachhelp apparently some 50 households affected for weeks now in and around Devonshire and Boveney Roads. Little to no action and extremely poor communications with us customers!!!

#BT #Openreach fibre cable fault is causing nightmare for remote working/ schooling with no wifi since Feb! Promise to repair only by end-April! Is this just a SE London thing?
When I was in an induced coma, night after night nurses watched over me to see that I didn't need emergency attention. In the morning they wrote me a 'letter' which went into a 'Patient Diary' which they gave me when I came round. This is only worth 1%?
Can't wait to hear Sofia Noor on how personal drive can get you anywhere - in her case, a great career in engineering with @BouyguesUK. Listen to 10 inspirational women and girls at Sydenham School's IWD evening on 8 March. Tickets by donation sydenham-school-pta.org #IWD
Despite EVERYONE agreeing leaks are the worst way to find out about lockdown changes, ministers continue to let the leaks go to the press. For parents and school staff this is so unnecessary and anxiety inducing.

“History doesn’t really care about our feelings.” Historian @DavidOlusoga tells @jonsnowC4 why acknowledging the negative aspects of British history isn’t a threat to British culture, but is simply “history in action”.
This week the sun will set after 5pm every day. Our evenings will soon be filled with light as the arrival of spring gets closer. #EveryoneNeedsNature
