I’d suggest in terms of education money has been wasted on free schools. One near us is tiny and wasn’t needed. Don’t levy schools for apprenticeships unless they are actually going to use it.
I agree we have decisions to make as a country.
I loved his tactics of saying he's been inundated by calls from {insert profession} since the budget to back up his policies.
A first class budget from a first class government.
Quoting that 40% figure is way too simplistic. Some people choose to work part-time as it's a second income for the household and is convenient for them. Some people are getting back to work after a long break and need benefits to top up their earnings while they gain experience. All sorts of reasons. Not saying it's not an indicator of a problem, just saying you need to break it down further.Probably from those who will soon not be paying income tax. To put that into context according to the IFS the increase in the personal threshold will mean 40% of adults no longer paying income tax. 40% ! Think about it - 40% earning £12,500 pa or less - of those that are working most will be on some form of in-work benefits - how is that making work pay and how long is that position sustainable and how long will it sustain the economies position of 5th or 6th in the world? Growth was revised down yesterday by Phil.............
As with any Tory budget I'll believe it when see it implimented.John McDonnell sounding like a whinging twat on breakfast tv. Still moaning even though they have done quite a lot of what they were moaning about before. How can people really moan about that budget.
Moan moan fucking moan.
Much like Gove asking people to get their stuff from the tip. Bet he doesn’t! The thing is if you are an outstanding school(no matter how long it was since your last inspection) there is more money available. Schools that are requiring improvement and often in dire need of money for infrastructure, buildings, staffing or whatever won’t get a sniff.They are a way for the middle classes to have a grammar school where they want one and for the chattering classes like Toby Young to get involved in implementing government policy ( but not sending your own kids there of course ) and are another example of a doctrinal approach introducing privatisation at whatever cost to the tax payer as was done with rail.
