Two of the most popular items on Twitter today: a picture of Michael Gove on the picket line in 1990, and MumsNet's massive support for the strikes. Hypocrisy on the one hand and solidarity on the other so perfectly expressed. - Here's the picture of Michael Gove, in his striking days, on an NUJ picket line in 1990. #J30 twitpic.com/5ixd4h
Mums not scabs: Mumsnet thread - lots express solidarity with the teachers bit.ly/ilYAq4 #j30. Gove's divide'n'rule backfired- 15.40
Seems like Bristol had a fantastic march today, too. The reports just keep rolling in!
