    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Can’t have been that bad - still got 10m votes which was more than Brown and then Miliband. Setting clear distance is fine if that’s what you need to - but by trying to what? If we need to learn from the mistakes of the last 5 years, then don’t use the preceding 5 years as a template. Whatever...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don’t actually think it’s that big a job to bring some unity back to the party to be honest... he just needs to show some contrition and put his hands up. He fucked up on the PV thing at GE19. So come out and own it - apologise and say so. It would even begin to explain the rationale for his...

    I’m glad you confirmed that Toby Young, Laurence Fox, Alison Pearson, Sarah Vine and Julia Hartley-Brewer are not sane people.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s the problem though isn’t it. They haven’t gained these services because they are the best for the kids, it’s because they are the best for lining each other’s pockets, so challenge is about PR image - not about shortchanging hungry families.

    A lot of these service level agreements never give the individual school the opportunity to pull out. All negotiated at executive level and the money never makes it to the school, as it’s extracted already for ‘core’ services. It’s fucking disgraceful - and anyone defending what we’ve seen is a...

    Chartwells are caterers at our school. Food provided is over priced and god awful quality. Their ideas of a balanced diet is offering 3 choices of carbs at lunch. And it’s been even worse since Cov-ID. You’d think our school/trust would ditch them, but our founder is also a Tory donor...

    The guidance has stuffed schools over - especially primary. Less kids bunged into less rooms giving a not too dissimilar proportion in some areas (though not all and far less the further you go up Secondary school) - some people need it because their employers are being difficult and exploiting...
