Our state schools need teachers more than private schools need embossed stationery.
Our children need mental health support more than private schools need new pools.
Our students need careers advice more than private schools need AstroTurf pitches.

If Keir Starmer's Labour Government can achieve all of this in just two months, I'm looking forward to the next 4-5 years:

Well said @bphillipsonMP talking with @RoryStewartUK & @campbellclaret on @RestIsPolitics Great to hear a Sunderland MP expressing pride in her city and background from a comprehensive school.

Already love Peter Reid for what he brought to Sunderland - but I love him a little bit more on seeing this!
Like me @reid6peter once shared a football pitch with Maradona. Unlike me he never talks about it. Like me he knows this is the worst government we have ever had. Like me he loves words. Get to the end … has a candidate’s name ever been pronounced so beautifully?

I visited my old school today
to talk to yr 13s
and I swam in the pool
that's been filled in
ate a school dinner
in the demolished dinners block,
acted in Twelfth Night
on a stage that isn't there,
and talked to Andy
who was in the sixth form
when he died in a car crash

The Head Teacher at John Rankin School in Newbury has had the Ofsted call today and she has told them she will not let them in tomorrow. She needs support at the school at 8am. I’ll be driving from Bristol (leaving 6am) if anyone wants a lift, please DM me. Let’s make a stand!

I knew Australia was vast, but this has actually blown my mind a lil' bit. Blimey.
