The Railways Bill is good news for rail - BUT private companies are already lobbying govt to let them have 'an ongoing role' on the rail network.
Passengers need public ownership of rail to truly deliver for them. Here's how your MP can make sure of it.

The way to end this crisis doom-loop is public ownership. And most MPs don’t know the facts about how to get this done.

This is absolutely enraging and heartbreaking.
Labour wants more people in work, yet they're cutting Access to Work payments, which supports disabled people to actually be able to go to work. Or in this case means a person who has been working for 15 years now can't.

I’m profoundly sad to say that as of today, I’ll no longer be able to do my job as co-artistic director of #Touretteshero because of a recent decision by #AccessToWork to cut my support by 61%. Read & share this post, the hardest I've had to write: www.touretteshero.com/2025/05/23/a... 1/4

Every minister should read this. 👇 If the government actually cared about disabled people being in work, they would reform the chaos of Access to Work.

What a difference it makes to have a supervisor where you can speak freely, including about doubts & worries, & know you're supported. Working with people in systems is hard, it just is. Imagine if we all had access to a safe relationship, separate from line management, to help make sense of it all.

The value of #supervision for anyone in people facing professions cannot be underestimated.
Curious about how #supervision might be beneficial to you as a #headteacher, senior leader in #education?
How does it safeguard you & the culture of your setting?
How it supports your life at home as you have somewhere confidential to take ethical complexity.

Why supervision? Because we "need somewhere to reflect, not just on our work, but on ourselves in our work. This includes how we feel, because that fundamentally affects not just our wellbeing, but how we work with others". Pereira, Z. (2025) Climbing Out of the Window: Finding Supervision.
