Imagine a teacher did five weeks of their NQT year, did terribly, had to quit and then got a life long pension out of it? #ImBackingBust

🤮 why do they have to alliterate their propaganda it’s so disconcerting 🤮🤮

The tories are all big and bad until lettuce and tofu start swinging for them. Resignations all over the shop. If they get uppity again someone give kale a nudge.

My daughter to me in 7–8yrs: mummy, who was prime minister when I was born?

I would be in total despair over the utter shambles our country has become but the tweets are giving me life 🙌

Schools with greater than 40% of their KS4 as disadvantaged, ranked by highest progress 8. Obviously there is always more to the story, but this is ace work.

I am 💯 here for Nigella choosing violence

Quote of the day!

‘Nobody expects the anti-growth coalition’ 😆

The person who told me to go back to where I came from, immigrants are taking our jobs, just arrived for his job interview with me. It was really fun!
