💜💜💜 We need to remember this- Teachers thrive on autonomy
This is so true! Even if you love teaching.
In my full time classroom teacher years (2007-2020 so far), the first 1-2 weeks of the summer holiday was a combo of headaches, low mood, lethargy, exhaustion and even emotion. Maybe it was the body coming out of an unhealthy heightened stress level? The last 1-2 weeks of holiday…
Many, many congratulations to my amazing niece, who graduated today from LSE with a First and the Language Examiners’ prize for exceptional achievement. This makes her the fifth generation of women in our family to gain a degree. I am beyond proud! 🤩
The magnificent #Lionesses What a great team and fantastic win. Hooray for #Agyemang she was a saviour once again 🥳❤️#UEFA #EUROS
No, Israel does not have the right to starve 2 million people. "But Hamas" No. "But the hostages" No. "But Oct 7th" No. "But self-defence" No. "But Israel's right to exist" No. "But Israel is a democracy" NO. No. No. NO. There are no excuses. Stop it now.
It's an indictment on the state of humankind that when people post pleading with the world's powers to stop children from being starved and killed, somehow it can provoke not only controversy but opposition. Our future generations have every right to condemn us for this failure.
The apathy being shown towards footage of children dying and people starving is heartbreaking and should transcend any ideology. There are people in power who could surely stop this. This is all. (2/2)
There’s a VERY good reason asylum seekers get circus tickets and Amazon parcels. But the Mail on Sunday was never going to tell you that. Here’s the crucial detail they left out: 🧵
Huge congratulations to ODA Tokito on winning his second Wimbledon Gentlemen's Wheelchair Singles title!!!🎾🏆🇯🇵 Much inspired by the heated final against Alfie Hewett 🇬🇧 Big round of applause to both players for their outstanding performance! 👏👏 👏

Before you demonise disabled people for receiving "free money", take a moment to remind yourself that you pay your able bodied MP's rent, bills, travel costs, parking costs...without complaint every year. Let that sink in and then point your anger in the right direction!
Okay my lovelies, #WatchingYou is out on August 28, and I wouldn't lie to you, it's actually a pretty darned good book. But because I don't have Richard Osman's marketing budget, Louise Minchin's TV platform, Richard Coles' publicist or any other celebrity writer's stranglehold…
100% there!
I’m exploring the idea of a reverse hibernation for Goths, paled skinned Brits, red-heads, and just anyone who hates this heat and is currently melting in the UK. It will involve spending summer in a freezer. Who’s with me?
100% the best ambassador, from any country to any country, ever. One of the biggest highlights on this questionable app.
So much enjoyed soda bread & Guiness cake!!😋
Emergency Alert day has been confirmed as 7th September. If you have a secret phone for safety go to settings and turn off all government notifications. Setting it to silent or airplane is not enough 🚨 (guidance on each step is on the internet). Spread the word
Please Japan, I beg you, please never recall your Ambassador The UK faces dark and grim times. We will step up to the task, as we always have. But he is pure joy, and much do we thank you, and respect you for sending Ambassador Suzuki to us ❤️🇯🇵🇬🇧♥️
Much looking forward to visiting Northern Ireland in a week!!☘️
God, I miss @JaneyGodley. Watching “Janey” on BBC Scotland. Sending love to Ashley.
I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.
Are you actually kidding me?! Here’s a starter for your research: ons.gov.uk/employmentandl…
Straight white British men are now the most discriminated group in the UK, by a country mile. I see it in Parliament almost every day. Dedicated time for Pride Month. Ministerial portfolios for women. Endless islamophobia debates. World-class virtue signalling, at every turn.…
