Outside a hotel in Redcliffe, Bristol - the hotel is being protected by hundreds of Bristolians shouting ‘We are many, you are few. We are Bristol, who are you?’ to a group of around 100 protesters who had marched on the hotel

Rishi Sunak has offered his resignation to The King but Keir Starmer has yet to be appointed as Prime Minister, so who's in charge? Me.

What great news for Taunton and Wellington. Well done @GideonJAmos 🗳️
So good to have a compassionate MP interested in local issues. It has been a long time coming!

Steve Bray blaring out “things can only get better” as Rishi announced the General Election while standing drowning in the rain was genius.
Even funnier is how the speaker had an umbrella while Rishi didn’t 🤡😂

Today, aid will enter Gaza and hostages will begin to return home.
Meanwhile, survivors will count down the hours until the bombing restarts.
This truce cannot be a footnote in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
Keep raising your voice for a permanent ceasefire.

Happy Friday! 🌟
This week, AEP members have shown the power of, and strength in connection.
For many, their first time taking strike action; for some, their first time at a rally.
We've united to show passion for change- for EPs & for the communities we serve. #SaveOurServices

📉There is a recruitment and retention crisis in our EP services, with severe consequences for communities.
Low pay & high workloads are driving educational psychologists to private practice; or away from the profession altogether.

I’m on strike today.
It is hard as I don’t want to let people down.
Sadly, our profession faces a recruitment and retention crisis. Workloads have risen, there is not fair access to services and the work we are expected to do is increasingly complex.

📢 Today, many EPs in England & Wales start a period of industrial action short of strike in a campaign to #SaveOurServices.
🗣️ “They’re taking action to ensure our children and young people see an educational psychologist if they need to & when they need to.”
