That is amazing. Boris always said that PPE was a degree for thickos, but he hated Cameron.
I have extensive family connections in Leeds teaching circles. At Roundhay Grammar she had a rep for being none too bright but a hard grafter.

In other news far right Trump supporting One America News Network (OANN) has settled Smartmatic's defamation lawsuit by paying undisclosed, but surely substantial, damages for their relentless broadcasting of lies claiming the 2020 election was stolen.
