Yes, take politics out of education and respect the professionals who work within it.


Sounds like Briggs is a puppet of right wing interests - apart from her lack of professional qualifications and experience, how can you be suitable to be headteacher at just 27?

To be honest, so long as they had a good team around them, I'm not convinced that a head of a school in this day and age really needs to be a teacher. It's all about management and there is no teaching involved.


However, a 27 year old with no experience of education is a step too far.

link to responses against future taking over Pimlico school, there was a worry then of the

inexperience of future, it was very obvious there was a political agenda.

Crikey TE44 ,I rarely come across someone ( like me ), still bitter about Pimlico and Westminster's lies .


Remember the ones about the expansion joint in the old building being a giant crack ? And how scaffolding was the only thing stopping the building from falling down .And getting the building delisted ? And Steve Farnsworth sending someone over to collect a ( non existent as it happened ) foundation plaque for his leaving Westminster party ?


And his " this is not a rolling ballot ,you can't just vote for what you want " ?


Take the politics out of education .Not a chance .

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      Today we are seeing the impact of increased taxes (employers NI) with tje UK unemployment rate rising  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrp7znkdlo Unfortunately, to increase tax burdens will see the economy stall or a recession, as Angelina says, cutting spending, whilst painful short term, is a good way to bring down government borrowing.  True, we don't want to see cuts to services but there are other areas of government spending that can be reduced and with AI impacting all jobs across all businesses, maybe it will also reduce overall staffing costs.

      or cut costs.  The cost of debt is a huge burden, it cannot be increased.

      Yes, they should clearly have been more honest on taxes before the election and not backed themselves into a corner. After 14 years of mismanagement and decline, they have to invest and at the same time start to bring borrowing down (otherwise they continues to be at the mercy of the bond markets). Continued cuts / degrading of public services is counter productive (a successful economy and society needs good infrastructure, education and health care).  The single biggest thing they could do to immediately improve growth would be to rejoin the single market, but I appreciate that is difficult politically.  So if you can't significantly boost growth short term, can't cut too much further, and need to raise money without borrowing, that only really leaves taxation.    Of course, where best to target those taxes - that's the real question.
