On the day that schools closed indefinitely due to coronavirus our Year 1s planted out their wild flowers in the School House Garden. Let's see how tall the flowers have grown when the kids come back. Stay well Holmleigh people! ❤❤🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️👍👍 @TreesforCities @foholmleigh

PS @GuidoFawkes I have been in the Westminster Lobby for over thirty years (since before you wer born) and am a former Lobby Chairman. I have never heard of an "inner lobby". This takes blatant attempts to divide and rule to a new level. So please don't lie.

‘Stormzy’ was always a favourite among the pups - and he is going to @redshepherdess Apparently he’s keeping his puppy name as well - ‘Storm’ All homed. Loved that litter of pups. Don’t think we will breed from Floss again, she has done her bit, so end of an era.

Alana it is Clive Cooke and he will be a really great Chief Executive. The Eastbourne site where you are will have its own really great Principal too- Rebecca Conroe who begins in May. My very best wishes to you. nitter.gq/alannatate33/status/97… – at Eastbourne, England

Well Paul, after my employment ends Paul, there are currently no particular plans, but do want to continue to contribute to the FE lobby and development in whichever way I can. See how it develops. Hope all is good with you. nitter.gq/pmoody41/status/978950…
