She's not the first Chancellor to pressure the OBR over forecasts. Kwasi Kwarteng Jeremy Hunt Sajid Javid Liz Truss etc. Rachael's Reeves approach is supported and approved by the Institute of Government...

What if you were an MP, and in that capacity you were invited to open an event, to speak at an event, to 'put in an appearance'? It's not a specific issue, activity or cause that you actively support, but you're not averse or against it, or it happens to be in your constituency. Would you buy...

It looks like the Princess of Wales did the photoshopping. :giggle:

The problem with your approach is that detention in a prison is anathema or detrimental to rehabilitation.

I would agree, but it's not relevant to a political discussion about prison over crowding and how it was allowed to happen.

No I'm saying that given Guido Fawkes reputation I wouldn't rely on anything it claims. :rolleyes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_Fawkes Similarly, I wouldn't place any reliance on your interpretation of a Guido Fawkes article, as highlighted in your post.

Guido Fawkes is a known disinformation provider. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_Fawkes Instead of criticising policy, he attacks the people. A tactic very familiar to DIYnot users.

Mottie trying to excuse the billions frittered away by the Tories, given to their mates, by focusing on a few thousand pounds worth of gifts to Labour. :rolleyes: Look at all those squirrels. :giggle:

The prisons have always been full. The prison population is ever growing. Prisons will only ever be built for the demand. OK the prisons were full in 2007, but they weren't overcrowded. And sentences will always be passed on the availability of the resources to effect the punishment. The...

Perhaps you'd like to ask Mottie for some examples? :rolleyes: The school population predicted to fall in the next ten years is not likely to motivate advertising for pupils now. :rolleyes: So two reports of advertising for pupils, which I considered normal competition: You relied on that...

They can choose to not work in state schools, if they wish. They're not forced to work in any specific establishment. It's a free (labour) market, remember.

It's highly unlikely that private schools will employ teachers to twiddle their fingers. Don't forget they're in it for the money. :rolleyes:

Perhaps you could present these "several posters" who's comments you were referring to, and we can connect the comments to the article that you presented, with the links to London schools, especially Lewisham and Lambeth, and the North of UK? And I see absolutely no reference to "advertising for...

Absolutely, It's not acceptable to excuse poor workmanship on the improbability that there might be problems elsewhere. If I were you I'd go all out and get an expert survey before the current work is paid for. And if that means stopping the closure of the chimney until the expert survey is...

No doubt in your era there was just one teacher in charge of the class. Now there are one or two assistants. Advancement, eh? There are many studies in other countries, carried out on the effect of student performance being dependent on the Teacher -Student ratio, Here's just one conclusion...

It's not about accepting the existence of private schools, it's about them paying the appropriate tax. Something which you consider is so important in other scenarios. :rolleyes:

It was her intention to tackle knife crime, something which stewartjohnreganandjohncarter can't help but support and laud. And I could never agree with him. So I'd be obliged to heckle Cooper. ;) Actually Regan's reference to Ronald Regan is much more appropriate than he realises. I suspect that...

Naah, I wouldn't have heckled dear Rachael. I'd have saved my powder, and I'd have heckled canny Cooper.

The birth rate might be declining now, but children don't start school as soon as they're born. :rolleyes: Do you think this might have a tiny little weeny implication: Class sizes in England’s state secondary schools have ballooned to their largest size for nearly 20 years...

Are these the people smugglers providing lodging as well? ;)
