Well, I wrote this song at the beginning of last season but Alioski’s recent performances make me think it’s time to get #lufc fans singing this on the terraces. youtu.be/amyKky8gyUM

The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday.
This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements.
Today, I called for the Government to ban this event.

So here’s a little teaser for you. What is the connection between Leeds Utd and the band The Strokes? It takes 6 steps to get there. None of my ‘football’ friends have got close. How about you music buffs? @prodnose @davidhepworth @MarkE11en @WIYElondon @davesimps0n

Do we think the club have actually forgotten that they’re supposed to actually sell FA Cup Semi-Final tickets to supporters? @lufcstats @apopey @TheSquareBall

Revealed: Scores of academy trust leaders paid more than director of England’s largest education authority educationuncovered.co.uk/new…
And heads of five single-school academy trusts each had higher salaries than the person overseeing 444 non-academy schools in Hampshire

I am genuinely sad that Sheffield Wednesday have been relegated. Once again, supporters and players suffer because of bad owners. Solidarity @martynware et al, from a Leeds Utd supporter who loves football more than rivalry.

🚨 Liam Rosenior hits back at Jose Mourinho: "When you see a player upset how Vinicius Junior was upset, normally they’re upset for a reason. I’ve been racially abused myself.
"What people have to understand is when you are judged for something you should be proud of, it is the worst feeling you can ever possibly imagine. There are historical things to racism.
"I need to, as manager of this club, make my statement on it. If any coach, player or manager is ever found guilty of racism, they shouldn’t be in the game."

Dear @LucyMPowell,
A response to your letter:
ALT Dear Lucy Three weeks ago you wrote me a bizarre letter in an attempt to hold on to voters who Labour have for too long taken for granted in Gorton and Denton. First, I’d like to give my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I've been busy on the ground with Hannah Spencer talking to voters about the issues that matter to them – lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services. You'll appreciate most of your letter is out of date now, but I'm sure you'll have seen the poll that came out today, that puts us in first place and Reform in second. Labour are a distant third and it’s now clearer than ever that your party cannot win in Gorton and Denton. If you are as concerned about stopping Reform as you proposed in your letter, the course is now clear: in the spirit in which you wrote to me, you should now urge your members and former voters to back Hannah Spencer on the 26th February to stop Reform and make hope normal again. Kind regards, Zack

If any NEU members follow me, my recommendations for the current Vice President elections are: 1) Joe Flynn and 2) Paula Burgin. My recommendation for the Membership and Equalities Officer is Mairead Canavan.

@reece_dinsdale I’ve just got home from seeing your wonderful performance as Scrooge in A Christmas Carol today. It was a stunning production and you were superb. Your final interaction with Bob Cratchit made me cry.

Watching this adaptation also made me angry that we still live in a society that has such division between the rich and the destitute. Ultimately, I left the theatre with my heart full of love for humanity.

@ZackPolanski It was quite moving, hearing about your personal journey on TRIP Leading. Well done for staying calm in the face of the privileged ego that is Rory Stewart. He’s clearly a man who is so perfect he never makes mistakes.

His patronising tone and utter surliness demonstrates exactly why we need to change the whole paradigm of politics, as well as the economy. Your handling of the difficult situation made me realise that I have made the correct choice in joining @TheGreenParty

This report highlights serious staffing shortages in schools. Over 75% of support staff say there aren’t enough staff to meet pupils’ needs. Continued underfunding of schools is limiting what they can deliver.
It’s time for real investment, not rhetoric.
