Really upsetting zoom with school leaders in my constituency this afternoon, hearing about the covid pressures theyโ€™re facing in school. These resilient, committed, caring, professionals are exhausted and at the end of their tether. They need your support, @GavinWilliamson

A very sobering meeting with head teachers from across Blaydon, Jarrow and Gateshead. I am in awe of the resilience, determination and commitment of school leaders and staff. That half their battle is with the DfE is infuriating. Thanks for having me @LizTwistMP @IanMearnsMP.

Now Biden's in, watch the Tories change tack on Brexit negotiations. Very isolated and nowhere to go now.
