Teachers on Strike a 🧵
Three years ago you stood on your doorsteps clapping for the key workers, they included teachers.
The schools remained opened the whole way through the pandemic. They taught your children in spite of what was going on in the world. /1
They did their best to keep them calm in a frightening time for all. Often juggling teaching your children while having their own loved ones off ill. These same teachers are suffering fatigue and mental exhaustion. /2
Now those key workers are on strike and being vilified by the government and the press. They’re striking for fair pay they’re striking for your children’s welfare and safety and they’re striking to save the education system. /3

Away in The Commons
The MPs did sit
Voting for bills that would
make the people's lives sh*t
We need fair pay and staffing
The workers did cry
But the ministers didn’t listen
And did nothing but lie

Twas the week before Christmas and all through the country
The Tories were laughing while the nation was up a gum tree
The Nurses on strike and the public behind them
Meanwhile Steve Barclay was refusing to pay them
The foodbank shelves were desolate, the trust was warning…
Meanwhile JRM said that this was “heartwarming”
So the workers asked for a pay rise, they gave it a punt
Except the Tories were acting like ...Steve Bakers 😉
