I was explaining the school position that was all, it’s also my only real frame of reference to be honest. For me there are two completely separate issues going on here that have somehow become intertwined. Firstly I think the GRC is a no-brainer. It’s a piece of paper that allows someone to...

I have no time for Nandy at all. I mentioned schools because it’s a real misconception of what happens in them regarding gender etc which stokes emotive feelings in a lot of people, but the reality is that children are safe and protected at all times. I do have a daughter yes so I can...

Just reading this now - if this is happening in an education setting you need to contact OFSTED asap as it’s against the law.

Stop conflating 2 completely separate issues together… even if you didn’t intend to. Up to the age of 16 a young person can get all the advice they want, but they can’t change anything legally or otherwise. They get to have their preferred name and pronouns used in school if they wish and every...

No coincidence that the upturn in form started with the return of Fadz

Changing your mind on a policy (nationalisation) that is popular across the voting political spectrum is just plain stupid if you’d prefer.

I didn’t need to - the manifesto spoke for itself.

Or maybe asking the question of what they are going to do with the opportunity? Do something transformative for the country or just be a glorified Cameron spiv?

They are obviously confident he’s not going to rock the establishment boat.

They could try that - but it would be a much easier attack line to say ‘You lied your way to the Labour leadership, who’s to say you wouldn’t do it again if PM’

I reckon I could vote for someone running on this platform. Know anyone?

Don’t usually watch any kind of reality TV or contest things, but watched the first episode of The Piano (in a lodge in the IoW where Freeview was the only offering) but I thought it was great. Always been a big fan of how skilled you have to be to play piano. Did anyone else see it?

You have a world class talent at revising history I’ll give you that. Even I, a most ardent Corbyn supporter said that the absolute best Labour could hope for was being largest party, and having to rely on a coalition/confidence agreement with the SNP to govern. You however did what you...

Great way to approach the teaching recruitment crisis, give them more inane shit to do.

Looking forward to seeing that ‘soft left’ manifesto containing such gems as: GPS tagging asylum seekers Responsible stationery ordering

Do Brighton have any clauses around buy-back do you reckon?

Of course you were - fence sitters find a way to each other. Starmer will be the next PM, but you watch him waste a real opportunity for change. A competent David Brent.

I guess the key factor here that should be established - is the motivation to murder this poor girl based on decisions she made about herself that no other person has the right to question or judge her for. RIP Brianna

Cuffeys best half for us so far.

You’re trying to somehow conflate the pay progression and rates of pay in teaching with a pretty free scope that you would find in the private sector. Bosses in the private sector could simply pay you more - they just choose not to. Teaching doesn’t have that flexibility (although you may...
