Dear Colleagues,
As 2016 comes to end, the PSA would like to take this opportunity to wish all our teacher members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
2016 has been a momentous year in British and World politics, which will not be forgotten quickly. From the vote to leave the EU in June to the victory for Donald Trump in the American Presidential election in November, the unexpected has become the new normal.
David Cameron was replaced as Prime Minister by Theresa May and is now not even an MP. Jeremy Corbyn is entrenched as Labour Leader having won a second leadership election. And if they can exploit the new faultline between Leave and Remain in UK Politics, the Liberal Democrats may be able to stage a come back as they did in Richmond Park.
We certainly live in interesting times and the work of teachers like yourselves in educating the next generation about Politics has never been more crucial or lively.
Anyway, we hope that you have an enjoyable and relaxing festive break and wish you all the best for 2017.
