Summarization
The tweets mainly focus on the efforts of education unions and individual teachers in campaigning for a fully-funded, above inflation pay rise and an appreciation for their work. They also highlight the challenges faced by the education systems due to underfunding, long working hours, lack of resources and reduced pay for teachers. Additionally, the tweets reference the campaign for Universal Free School Meals, and criticize the notion that education is only a babysitting service.

Emotional Analysis
The emotions expressed in these tweets are largely positive, with a sense of solidarity and support for the NEUnion and its members, who are campaigning for a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise. There is also a strong sense of frustration and anger at the government for allowing teacher pay to fall over the last 12 years, and at Philip Davies MP for failing to recognize the importance of the education sector. The tweets also express appreciation for the Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan and his policies, as well as praise for the Right to Food London campaign and Marcus Rashford. Finally, there is a sense of admiration for the NEUnion's Blair Peach award, which recognizes its support for anti-fascism.

| 1627058889731764228 | @MissSDoherty @MerciaSchool This is toxic masculinity and a big part of the reason why there is a recruitment and retention crisis in schools. The idea that any job should require you to sacrifice your own life is repugnant and deeply unhealthy. Terrible role-models for children, too. @NEUnion @Ofstednews | 110 |
| 1626364021828997120 | @NEUnion @PhilipDaviesUK Allowing teacher pay to fall so far over 12 years is deeply irresponsible and allowing working hours to rise to 50+ per week even more so. Strikes cause temporary inconvenience; retention and recruitment are permanently damaging. The government needs to make teaching tenable. | 89 |

| 1626324671393067010 | @NEUnion @PhilipDaviesUK I give Davies some credit for saying the quiet parts out loud, unlike most of his colleagues. Schools are babysitters to them, nothing else. | 70 |
