What do the teaching unions have to say about this? The DfE guidance is obviously useless. Are there any legal avenues?

I also got to explain how hard it is (as a vulnerable family) to risk manage our lives relentlessly. Moving forward I hope that British brands like Loaf can lead on tightening up their safety measures for their customers (& staff) in a pandemic that stubbornly isn't ending.

Want to know what the C02 is like in a UK classroom? My 10yr old took this monitor into school today. Peak reading was 2170ppm.

What about AIR FILTERS Bridget!? I'm spending chunks of my own ££ savings on making our school as safe as possible. But I don't have £140million. When will Labour ADMIT & COMMIT to this crucial issue for the benefit of all children's health and learning?

Labour will tackle the generational challenge of one in five children regularly missing school. We will support children by working in partnership with parents, staff and schools again. Our long-term plan will drive high and rising standards in every school for every child.

@GeorgeMonbiot Everyday I can't quite believe that we are living in an ongoing pandemic and yet so many don't know: - what SARS-CoV-2 is - how it transmits - that it even still exists And with all this mass communication at our fingertips..

As for me and my boy. We didn't get back on the bus. Instead we pushed off to do our own impromptu walking tour in the autumn sunshine - past Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, pigeons in the park. We walked all the way to Paddington and jumped on a train home instead.

All of us will need the NHS in the end. We must work to protect this health safety net for future generations.

It meant a lot. That my little boy got to feel a bit of fun in a dark time. Thank you NHS. For not just fixing the physical problem, but for caring for us as well.

@daveberkeleyuk @NjbBari3 It's utterly baffling to me. How obviously clever people could be so unbelievably stupid.

Steve popped up. Thanking me for raising it as an issue, (because his child has respiratory problems) and that he was going to make a #corsirosenthalbox for his class. We loosely arranged to meet in the park at 3.30 after pick up.
