Tomorrow I’m looking at how to save money yet again. Have restructured twice already. Won’t be able to avoid a third round either. The money taken from our budgets every year by the LA to pay their debts is crippling us on top of insufficient funding. The job isn’t fun atm

Not returning to school this September has been strange, yet fulfilling 🌱 It’s given me space to network and connect with amazing people working on inspiring social impact projects 🌍 Eye-opening to see the difference you can make outside the classroom ✨ #NewConnections 🌸

So imagine you attended a march where this was being said? Imagine now for a moment you replaced with the words Muslim with Jews and Islam with Judaism. Rightly, it wouldn’t be tolerated and be stopped. But when it’s Islam, it’s ok?

"Send all of these r*pist Muslims and dirty rugs back to their shariah nations." American-Colombian far-right, anti-Muslim congressional candidate Valentina Gomez delivered an incendiary, hate-filled speech at the β€œUnite the Kingdom” march in London, organised by Tommy Robinson. Gomez is known for burning the Quran and spreading Islamophobic rhetoric.

"You can't physically chuck a 13-year-old over a school gate and say: β€˜Go on, get in.’" Actor Anna Maxwell Martin, who's navigated the SEND system as a parent, tells #R4Today that attitude is just as important as funding to help support children with special educational needs.
