Was it just me that straight away looked for the wonderful Nadine sadly not on the list.
But good old Kwasi.

It would perfectly serve the purpose of enough do it. You're trying to solve a problem that isn't there as so few are incapable of putting an x in the right place, the numbers are miniscule.But still won't be differentiated from incorrectly filled out forms and thus recorded as a protest vote.
It has to specifically be an option on the ballet for it to be recorded and thus prove a level of dissatisfaction with politics.
I understand (and agree) that the number of people that genuinely can't tick a box are few and far between, but while it's just put down as incorrect ballots they can keep deluding themselves it's just stupid proles that can't do it properly.It would perfectly serve the purpose of enough do it.

I think both have been an unmitigated disaster. Both liars and cheats and only in it for themselves.
I think both have set both countries back a few years.
Without Trump I honestly don't think we would have the Roe vs Wade issue right now.
And Johnson has just created so much distrust amongst politicians and the public alike
Honestly thought this was a comedian doing a bit but the punchline never arrived, turns out he’s a serious nobody
Well Zahawi has confirmed he’s not a serious contender. Wants to lop £40bn off the NHS…
There’s no magic money tree.At least he’s honest enough to say he wants to give tax cuts to his mates while shrinking public services. Let’s see who else is

Yeah as I said a while back, Johnson going could be very bad news if you have a job in the public sector. Currently Sunak's looking like the sane one(!)
Now waiting for Javid to promise no taxes whatsoever.

This is a good policy.Talking about charging VAT as well.
Also trying to claim you can run the country whilst admitting you can't keep track of your personal finances is probably not a good look
This is a good policy.
It is. Not least because there’s no sane way to argue against it. It’ll bring out all the Rees-Mogg types to get all flustered about why no one will think of the Etonians.
This is a good policy.
Levelling up doesn’t seem to be on anyones agenda either. Zahawi now trying to backtrack saying he was talking about 20% of personnel not budget. Not sure how that’s going to go down in places like Middlesbrough where the biggest employer is the civil service.
All I’m hearing is a return to austerity, because that worked last time.
It is. But the money has got to be used to improve the state education system, in particular in deprived/inner city areas. I know that’s stating the obvious but too often we have tax rises/grabs in a certain area and it goes into the black hole….just look at what’s generated from motorists and how little of it has been spent on transport infrastructure over the years
I’ve worked with a couple of small independent schools in my previous life. These weren’t the Etons of this world, fees weren’t extortionate and many parents weren’t rich (they also did bursaries) but the schools in the local area were that shit the parents cobbled the cash together in a desperate attempt to give their kids a better start in life. These weren’t parents picking a fancy private school over a more than adequate state school up the road. Any changes to status has got to have these people in mind
I know this might upset some but it’s why I’ve never had an issue with grammar schools and academies, if done right in certain locations. I’ve got mates who went to a grammar school and god knows where they would’ve ended up if they had gone to their local comp
Ps I went to a local comp but was lucky it wasn’t in a bad an area which was fortunate as there was no way my mum could’ve afforded private for my brother and I …and probably no way I would have got into a grammar school even if one was near
Grammar schools drive inequality in a slightly different way-as the government's own commissioned research into the subject in the mid 2010s highlighted. Academies have also created a whole new level of wasteage with CEOs and executive management staff who didn't exist before but now have appeared on enormous salaries to contribute relatively little.
There's a difference between an Eton or a Harrow and a Henry's or a Bablake.
this is clearly though a scheme to be aimed at all schools in the private sector then I would assume

Thats why I mentioned they needed to be done in the right way, with a greater focus on getting bright kids from poor backgrounds out of underperforming schools in deprived areas…and at least an element of control over the chief execs !

Looks that way. If in Coventry for example Henry's and Bablake went pop as a result of the measures then good luck finding places in the city's comps for them-they're already massively oversubscribed

That’s the point some study I read somewhere said it would generally mean about 400,000 extra places in comprehensive education and cost far more than it saves
