Never have I questioned a life decision as much as my mid-pandemic decision to sign up for a part time masters to do alongside teaching full time 🤦🏽♂️
Currently in the final stages of dissertation hell and omg I will be glad when this is done.

Hard to comprehend the scale of the flood disaster in Pakistan, the 5th most populated nation in the world.
Nearly 1400 dead, 1 million houses damaged or destroyed, and 50,000,000 people displaced.
1/3 of the country is underwater.

My main observation of new Y7s over the years is how well they take transition in their stride. They’re ready! Sock it to them… don’t patronise them; challenge them. Live up to their expectations.

Great thread on social/cultural capital.👇🏽
My Mum made me actutely aware from a very young age that not everyone has someone to help them navigate this mess...
(She now volunteers at CAB, to try and provide that support to others.)

Not a single government voice to be heard anywhere in response to the terrifying price cap news. Deplorable. A total dereliction of duty.

I watched this tonight and it was incredible. Really enjoyed the performance and it's left the question of the climate crisis and how we will respond to it (or not) in the future... At what stage do we get people running things who know what they are doing?

Man gets up at Tory leadership hustings, denies climate change, gets warmly applauded. Liz Truss fails to correct him, is warmly applauded.
This is all fine.

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives.
It began with a heart attack

I keep wavering between "Truss is resilient and hardworking, the press will give her some room, she'll make a flurry of announcements that contrasts with Johnson...probably do a bit better than expected early on."
And
"This is going to be an almighty car crash".

James Cleverly says he 'recognises' cost pressures yet no commitment to do something about - the sooner we get rid of this joke of a govt the better.

Two in five headteachers are worried about being forced to cut teaching staff in order keep paying salaries.
We ask education secretary @JamesCleverly whether it is time to expand the schools budget.

Unless you are obsessed with getting into the arbitrary "Russell Group", there is no real scramble for places. What there really is in a whole number of cities is a scramble for housing.

I had a stroke last Thursday while eating a sandwich. I didn't recognise it, the people I went to dinner with 4 hours later didn't recognise it, the doctor in A&E didn’t recognise it when I went in 6 days afterwards. My face, arm, speech were fine. So here are some extra tips

So I had a stroke on Wednesday at my desk. Luckily colleagues recognised the symptoms and I was in hospital within 35 minutes. Please retweet and remind people Face, Arm, Speech & Time. Time is key for stroke victims and I owe everything to those @12CPBarristers who acted.
