And what do you need to do in poetry??
HIDE your work!

There should be a word to describe the feeling where you're a customer and you're pretty sure that you've done everything right and followed all the instructions but still feel as if you're going to end up getting a extra charge for some random oversight.

16 hours after leaving for work, a full day teaching and a drive from Dorset to Bradford, we've finally made it for rest ready for University of Leeds open day tomorrow.
Just need to find a parkrun for the morning.

I cannot agree with this more.
Observation after two weeks back - IT in schools is a barrier to effective teaching - not educational software per se - but the invasion into the classroom of systems that impair the effective start on flow of lessons. This has been exacerbated by teaching in multiple classrooms. Things like

It's time for Reeves to double the budget of the HMRC. Everyone should pay their fair tax and we're going hard for those that don't. We believe in fair play.
Through deterrence, it will probably pay for itself.
Help the economy and make everyone play by Rayner's rules.

I'll bet Farage is furious with whoever it was that stood down MPs to give Johnson a free run in the 2019 election.
People should have legitimate concerns at politicians who turned their backs on having a say when such important decisions were being made.

Lucy Bronze is the boss.
Lucy Bronze on how she decided to blast her penalty down the middle (and score).
“Statistically it’s risky for the goal keeper to stand still… so yeah, I love maths”.

Whenever Farage complains about Boris' deal he should be reminded of this. When he complains of betrayal he should be reminded that when it was up for grabs, he walked away.
Farage cries betrayal over access to fish stocks. But NEVER FORGET he stood down hundreds of Brexit Party PPCs to help Johnson win big in 2019 and it was Johnson who negotiated the access. There's no change to access, just an extension on existing deal for 12 years. If it's on anyone, it's Farage

Why are the government's critics on the left so keen to change the pension credit policy? They are arguing that we should be giving more money to well off people. The poorest pensioners will be no better off if the policy changes. Why is THIS policy being seen such a mistake?
