Sounds as though Sir Keir Starmer on 10:59 - Nov 28 with 1268 views | DJR | I listened to it on the radio, and thought she did OK, and certainly much better than the first two times. At the end of the day, PMQs, when it comes to the opposition, is really only about getting a soundbite which might play well on the 6 O'clock news. Incidentally, PMQs is not necessarily easy for an opposition leader, although Hague was good at it. Indeed, you see it with Starmer who seems much more comfortable at PMQs now he is on the other side. [Post edited 28 Nov 2024 11:02]

Who ever stands opposite starmer will just be met with the same non answers to any questions anyway and get the auto Labour response of.. 14 years Black hole 14 years Black hole 14 years Black hole Starmers latest bit of parliamentary fun is responding to other MPs about how nice it is to see them in parliament. Which is quite funny considering he's spent most weeks on his jollies since he was made PM. Kimmy may be bad but so is starmer. [Post edited 27 Nov 2024 19:54]

Surely the majority of what remains of the party would want someone who hasn't fallen for all of this Tufton Street culture war business? Besides Farage already owning it, the GE showed that the UK public weren't as enamoured with it as they are in the US, surely a return to principals (and vague respectability) would be what appeals? Not sure what it means but I note that both Dan Hodges (Mail on Sunday) and Matthew Stadlen (Telegraph), who were pretty staunchly Tory right the way up to Sunak, both seem to have pivoted against the more right wing element of the party too. Hopefully that signals a slightly reversion to to mean for the right wing press but could also just be personal preference, will be interesting to see what plays out. |  | |  |

According to this - https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-pupil "The average class size for infant pupils (reception, year 1 and year 2) remains stable Infant class size has decreased slightly to 26.6 from 26.7 from 2023 to 2024. This reflects a period of general stability in infant class sizes since 2020/21. There is a statutory limit of 30 pupils in an infant class." The average infant class size has remained stable for almost 10 years. Falling birth rates may see it drop a bit. Or they may see it increase as some schools won't get enough numbers and associated funding to run several classes when each has 23-24 in so they end up running fewer classes with more children in. |  | |  |

Yes Appreciate the average is lower than my wording, I wasn't saying all schools, just that we have schools with 30 kids into a class, we've got 3 this end that regularly are over populated with kids mainly due to staff shortages etc so pupils are going into mixed classes quite often. |  |

I get that Labour, starmer has its fans, I get Tories have their own, I just find it difficult to think of any reason to give two shts about any of them when imo there's not much any party can do to actually save the uk from what the world has become. Labour will do things that aren't popular, conservatives would do the same, same with reform same with all others. The fact that they all come into power and things don't actually end up positive isn't a slight on those in power, it's just realism that there isn't much any of them can do about things. |  |

There's a school near me that currently has 12 kids in its reception class. It's numbers have gone from c600 a few years ago, to c300 now. It's a struggling school, with a head who's just left in disgrace, but all the same... Also heard of two primaries which have shut in Hackney recently, which has been blamed on the falling birth rate. |  |

When we played five a side in the playground we had to keep the numbers down to twenty five. Asphalt playground, didn't stop goalies from diving. And there were twelve inch iron spikes every metre. No milk at playtime, we had to drink a third of a pint of sulphuric acid. |  |
