Good Grammar
The call by David Davis for the return of the grammar schools, of which his party (for how much longer?) voted to ban the creation of any more, is a huge story. So is his pointing out of the higher standards across the board in areas with grammar schools, such as Kent, and until recently Northern Ireland, where Peter Hain introduced comprehensivisation in order to punish the political parties. But coverage? About as much as Norman Tebbit received when he told people to vote UKIP. Or even less, if that is possible.

This post and the Purnell one are part of the same feature of present politics. Probably Davis and definitely Tebbit would have lost the whip not long ago. Like the Blairites. But the parties are now so desperate not to lose any more people that they have got to put up with anything.
