  1. Our children don’t deserve teachers that are burnt out and leaving the profession in droves but guess what they are and that’s entierly down to the shit show that is government.

  2. To be fair, Keegan is hardly likely to say “Yup, lets have them all out on the picket lines until the government improves working conditions and pays them a fair wage”

  3. >she didn’t negotiate on pay during the meeting, saying the focus needed to be on “more flexibility, job shares [and] being able to do part time [roles]”.

    so in a meeting about what the department could do for teachers, she talked about what teachers could do for her, and then seems surprised there is a strike.

  4. >”And I will work with you. You don’t need to strike to get my attention. I will meet with people. I’ll be as constructive as possible.

    >”But we do need to be fair. And the number one thing we need to do is tackle inflation.”

    Translation: “I’m going to tell you to fuck off and then blame everything on the war in Ukraine.”

  5. So someone on an MPs salary of £84,000 a year, plus expenses, plus ministerial salary, plus freebies and cash donations worth thousands, thinks teachers shouldn’t be on strike for better pay?

    How out of touch are these people?

  6. Can someone tell these lazy shit bags (politicians) they don’t get to criticise anybody who actually works for a living.

  7. She can go fuck herself with a broom. Teachers get paid appallingly poorly in this country and a massive raise is long overdue.
