Well…. After 80 minutes, it didn’t 🤣 Defences on top

@Everton v @LFC last night @WiganWarriorsRL v @LeighLeopardsRL tonight These are proper tough old Derby games which come with genuine needle Come on the Leopards

@NoChildBehindUK You can't even get your basic facts right Wales doesn't give FSM to ALL its pupils🙄

@NoChildBehindUK @SRMooreResearch "Healthy meals" = Fish and chips and burgers🙄 I wish you'd stop using children for your political games, it's ridiculous

Days after Labour won, Birbalsingh already seemed quite combative “It is possible that the new government will introduce measures which will challenge the approach at Michaela. Leaders & staff are determined to stick to Michaela's values and ethos which have proved so effective”

@danbloom1 My second reaction once I’d stopped laughing at the imagery

Incredible !!!! Fabulous reporting from @FCDWhittaker & @SchoolsWeek To suggest Birbalsingh comes across are arrogant & slightly unhinged would be an understatement

Some interesting detail on school meal costs from ⁦@LACA_UK⁩ Once again highlighting the current £2.53 funding isn’t sufficient But I wish they’d stop this ring-fencing nonsense, makes them look greedy & out of touch with the reality facing schools

There’s one man they need….

@TanDhesi So the question is, how will we ensure the breakfasts provided are healthy? The food standards aren't about nutrition, are universally ignored & there is no monitoring So with funding yet to be determined, what are gov doing to ensure we don't end up just serving cheap carbs

@unionistsonline Go on, I'll bite Give us all an estimate for how much it would cost So per meal, how much per child for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner?

For all the publicity about expanding FSM, £3m only feeds 4,500 pupils Whilst it's not a bad thing, it's important to remember that tens of thousands of pupils will still be going hungry @scotgov should scrap universal FSM & spend the funds prioritising those children in need

@jonmase @EllieChowns @NoChildBehindUK It's a phenomenally expensive policy that has little or no proven impact The main beneficiaries are middle & high earners, which might be the demographic you're concerned about, but they're not my priority We have schools literally falling down Children living in destitution

@wideboy2709 Thanks. We’re just feeling empty right now

@Beloved71478281 I know! Don't care if you believe me or not

@AnnieBeale1 @Beloved71478281 Jane has had a bee in her bonnet for years and is, I'm sad to say, delusional about schools syphoning off money I know Michaela are running a loss on school meals It's the norm in schools nowadays

@nicksjj Aside from the obvious benefits of identifying a TBI, I don’t get why coaches don’t jump at the chance to have a 10 minute “free” substitution
