Nicola Fisher says "The far right are a clear and present danger to the children in our care who we educate. They are a clear and present danger to our communities and society." #EISAGM26

Motion 68 is moved by Neil Anderson and seconded by Andrew Fullwood. Craig Duffy, opposing the motion says, my point of opposition is purely because of what the mover said. It is a small organisation I haven't heard of. I don't know enough to see if we can or should affiliate to them.

Motion 67 is moved by first time speaker Tracey Trayner, "We must condemn Russia's crimes against the people of Ukraine. To enable our members to get involved in solidarity with Ukranian Trade Unions we first need to approve this motion."

Christopher Devlin steps up to the podium to move our final education motion. "It is not our experience that a ban on phones has reduced violence and aggression in our schools." The motion is carried. #EISAGM26

Motion 23 is moved by Dominic Tollan. "I think the most basic thing we should be asking for is an email you can carry throughout the duration of your teaching career" he says. #EISAGM26 The motion is carried.

Motion 21 regarding educating learners about working class history, labour movements and celebrating community culture gains strong support from delegates. In seconding the motion, first time speaker Danielle Henshaw says Collective bargaining isn't a relic of the past, it's a shield for the future.
