Why had Ed Miliband brought back this absurd figure from the early Blair years? And as for accepting the "free" schools first proposed, like everything else to do with this Government, by David Miliband when he was running Blair's Policy Unit, that is only because they are yet another failed Blairite policy, with so few such supposedly flagship schools that they are not worth bothering to get worked up about.
Ed should give the job to Pat Glass after the Election. We are eight points ahead today, Labour's lead is the same size as total Lib Dem support.
ReplyDeletePat tells me that she is known as incorruptible by the lure of office, and of course I greatly admire her for that.
ReplyDeleteBut I see what you mean. She would be a marvellous Secretary of State for Education, and she was notably given the Liam Fox Question at last week's PMQs, so her stock with the Whips is obviously high.
The question is whether collective responsibility would be too high a price to pay. Only Pat can answer that one.
I see your old sparring partner Jon has set one up in a deprived area of London
