People are stupid
Comprehensive education is brilliant and teachers are super stars
Pick one |
Comprehensive education is brilliant in principle. We don’t have that system in entirety thanks to many historical factors.
What we are seeing more and more of, is schools talking and thinking like businesses, whilst receiving less and less. Whilst private education is still allowed to run like business with charitable status. Add in the crossfire of religious schools, academies and free schools and this leaves huge inequality playing out.
What would be brilliant was if the money private schools made was taxed like any other business and they were allowed to succeed or fail like any other business. The money generated being too fenced to fund education would be a nice little moral outcome too. |  |

again, the nasty party line doesn't work - most of the electors like them. the over the top 'scum', snouts in the trough, posh friends line has almost no traction with the public. almost everyone has stopped listening to it.
the attack that will do for the tories in the end is their complete incompetence. high spending and high tax aren't leading to greater prosperity because we have very low growth. economic incompetence and rising living costs are much more likely to get a response from voters.
the polling on yesterday's budget is that it was unusually (for a budget) popular. it has majority approval amongst 2019 labour voters. |
I never said it did, but that it should by a large margin. | |

This may not be what you’re saying Herbs but I don’t think the people who voted Leave did so because they thought they would be richer. |
But we were told that things would only get better for us all post-Brexit, that there would be no downsides and only considerable upsides? |  |

You're reading it wrong. The "further" means on top of the Brexit reduction, not on top of a Brexit + Initial Pandemic Costs reduction.
He literally is quoted saying it on the next line:
"In the long term it is the case that Brexit has a bigger impact than the pandemic"
I'm uncertain of your actual point to be honest, you don't seem to have made one above trying and failing to pick holes in my posts. Are you defending the Brexiteers or arguing that his assessment of the cost of the pandemic is incorrect?

Boris has a deflection tactic ready to go though
Just in time for Boris to act all tough and deflect from his issues back in the UK. Maybe he’ll send a Royal Navy Frigate to ‘scare’ the French?
All totally predictable, stage managed and pathetic |  | | |

Isn't that the highest in 70 years only because of the cost of the pandemic and the record drop in GDP in 2020? The wider picture is that most government department budgets in real terms are still lower than they were pre-2010 despite rising costs. |
no it's the highest on the projection post covid and with GDP back to the pre-covid level (which in any case is due in December). |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Why should I pick one?
Neither of those things are what I said, although it doesn't surprise me you try and lead the discussion away from what was actually said.

Hey I agree with you. Our education system has failed. |  |

Yet most government departments are still forecast to be below 2010 spending levels by the end of those projections. The previous austerity cuts are still going to be biting for some time. |  |

I was simply clarifying the accuracy of your statement there are no hidden points. |  |

I wonder where all the extra government spending is going then? I can't imagine the government would be handing out vast sums of public money to private companies, many of whom have links to the Tories. | |
