This week I signed the @HolocaustUK Book Of Commitment.
Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay marking 78 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. We must never forget the appalling atrocities suffered by the Jewish people in WW2 and remember the victims of all genocides.

What a lovely and important message
RT @AdamsKej: "Eduaction is an oath from one generation to another.
A hanging thread of hope it’s silken dangle of possibility.
A chance to dream yourself in to another story"

Today on #EducationDay please think about the 130 million girls across the world who are denied the right to education.
Especially girls in Afghanistan, banned from attending secondary school & university.
No education means more girls in forced marriage, slavery & poverty.🥲

RT @NasimiShabnam: 491 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 30 days since the Taliban banned women from going to university.
This #EducationDay, amplify the voices of girls in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan - the ONLY country on earth where girls education is banned!

RT @mariacaulfield: Great news that every school is set to get a defibrillator. 12 young lives are lost each week to a sudden cardiac arrest and a defibrillator can make a difference . I’m pleased that after campaigning on this for many years a @Conservatives government is delivering this

Very pleased to have played a small part in helping this happen.
RT @PaulBrandITV: EXCL: The government will finally announce a bill banning so-called conversion therapy this week.
I’m told in a change of policy, the ban will cover both gay and trans conversion therapy.
One step closer to a ban, but a way to go before it’s law.

RT @GillianKeegan: We awarded teachers the highest pay rise in 30 years, and we've already met the unions’ request for an additional £2bn in school funding, which will take real terms spending on schools to its highest level in history.
