Not sure if anyone caught Nicky Morgan this morning maybe it just slipped under the radar because she's not Dianne Abbot and this thread would been all over it with derision.

Breaking news: Nicky Morgan has just failed Year 1 maths, live on television.
Here's the exchange seems even being the ex education minister doesn't mean she is any good at maths.
"When he leads a manifesto, the flag ship policy - is there going to be 50,000 more nurses - and now you as a culture secretary, a member of that cabinet, a member of that government, admit that 19,000 of them already are NHS nurses, viewers at home go, 'This is complete nonsense!'"
Nicky Morgan replied: "But there are other ways nurses come into the NHS. There will overall, and we are very very clear on this, [be] 50,000 more nurses, if you look in 10 years time than there are today."
A frustrated Piers pointed out that she "kept saying that" and that 19,000 of them are existing ones.
"I think it's realistic to say we've got highly skilled staff that we do not want to leave and if we are able to persuade them and encourage them to stay, that is good news for nursing care in this country," Nicky said.
No doubt someone will start a new thread we can all lampoon her just like they do with Dianne?
