The most disgusting behaviour I’ve ever witnessed in public spaces was directed at Sadiq Khan by ‘anti-Ulez’ protesters, who of course received way more coverage, much of it friendly, than the scheme’s incredible success ever will.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

I am genuinely thrilled to see this, and if it feels like no big deal to you, I would refer you to five years ago, when people in Westminster hyped the Turing scheme& argued that Erasmus was pointless anyway since British students did not like to go abroad.

When you think of health and safety laws and human rights laws as “obstructive bureaucracy”, stopping you being as vicious and damaging as you want to be to immigrants - who you encourage voters to blame for your own abject failures - you’ve become a monster.

Here's the thing about the DfE idea that 'training is the answer' to SEND. It implies that once again the issue lies with teachers and not with the system itself. A way of papering over the cracks rather than admitting that the system needs rethinking if it's ever going to be properly inclusive.
