Quick video message: When we met Gillian Keegan before Easter, she told us we shouldn’t ask for a pay rise because inflation was falling. Today we see in the papers that she and Rishi Sunak say we shouldn’t ask for a pay rise because inflation is increasing! #SaveOurSchools

25 years I’ve been in this job. Never in all that time have I felt so undervalued, exhausted & demoralised. Never have I wanted to leave more. But I can’t as I need to pay my mortgage. I’d have to leave my home to leave teaching. We need the tories out. They simply don’t care 😡

@mattyfeb1987 As @TobiFrenzen put it …

@Ord_LeftRham For some reason I’ve got the feeling they don’t want you to ask for a pay rise.

Teachers' pay DOES NOT affect inflation! Neither does Nurses', Doctors', Firefighters', Ambulance Drivers, GPs' or any other public sector workers' pay - because they don't produce a commodity that is used to calculate inflation. Maybe the politicians should go back to school!

@Suziey33 You just need to believe…in everything this Govt says…just believe&we will get through this……. in the meantime we must all make sacrifices to ensure our well off Cabinet members don’t have to worry about their own mortgages,& can devote 100% of their energies to reassuring us

@BexBitchley Personally, I wouldn’t believe any single thing any of this ‘government’ says. Ever.

They are quite literally making it up as they go along. Whilst none of it affects them. We need people in charge with skin in the game.

Rishi Sunak is great at delivering....any old excuse, that is.

@Cedar50 Do you not understand.....underfund, drive teachers away.....ripe for privatisation then. #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern
