So the Court of Appeal have said that the Covid Inquiry should be provided with all the info the government went to court to prevent them seeing. When will we get to know what they are so desperate to hide? Does this mean that fishy Rishy’s days are numbered? Will the Daily Star be buying a lettuce for pictures on its front page? How will the Mail and Express and Torygraph react? My guess is that the Mail knows when it is beaten and will lead on the cost of the plans to combat climate change (Net zero), the Express will slag off woke judges whilst the Torygraph will slag off teachers and doctors and Carol Vordeman. They are getting desperate!.

Sunak appears incapable of doing the politican bit! Staggeringly incompetent in interviews and even worse in discourse with the public. He avoids Parliament as much as possible, leaving it to the woeful smug little creep Dowden to take his place at PMQ’s. Nice to see Mhairi Black shunt him into his place at PMQ’s what a loss to debate she is!

All 5 of his pledges seem to be going nowhere, inflation, NHS waiting times, small boats, growing the economy, public debt reduction all going the wrong way. Food inflation should fall during the summer so I am sure he will claim this as a great success. So what has he left – Johnson has bragging rights on Ukraine. So we can expect an onslaught against WOKE – climate change is not happening and doing anything to prevent it will cost families money (WMO recorded the highest average daily temperature for the second day running and El Nino has not got into full swing yet), talk about withdrawing support for International climate aid is being justified. Electric car = woke; solar panels = woke, vegetarian/vegan = woke. then they will pick another target from a long list; doctors; teachers; judges; lawyers; immigrants; students; disabled people; BBC; single mothers; the young, all will get attacked at one time or another by a party of incompetent losers lashing out. And then there are the favourite personal targets – Carol Vordeman, Gary Lineker, most comedians, all trade union leaders (not just for their different opinions, but their ability to be brighter and more articulate than most tory MP’s. One thing is for sure, they will not be talking about policies or their failure over 13 years. They will project failure upon whoever takes over in the next government – Starmer or whoever will need to emulate Captain Bligh to navigate the shambles they will inherit.

“The New Conservatives” want to stop your aspirations of a university education and basically force you to become careers!. Being a career is a much needed job, but maybe not an aspirational one? Or fruit and vegetable pickers! The next logical step would be to save money on education by replacing GCSE’s and A level’s with a lowering of the leaving age for children (14 anyone?). Only Public Schools would be allowed to offer qualifications leading to Universities. I totally agree that education shoulkd fit the needs of society as well as that of the individual. That would require proper renumeration for practical skills, along with a societal adjustment of the regard we have for electricians and plumbers, etc.

£622 million was spent on supply cover teachers last year whilst a net loss of 7838 teachers will exaserbate the problem. The government quites increased dpending on education and health but fails to say how much goes directly into cover payments. having been a supply teacher for a while and worked closely with many tye following statements are true: Students see a supply teacher as game on time; many supply teachers (not all) are doing it because they are not good enough to get a full time job; schools do not care about the quality as long as no problems are created.

Raise the wages and attract a higher quality of teacher and health workers. The money is there – it is just going to the wrong places! Secretarial costs have spiralled at at one time my old school had more than 10 on the SMT with commensurate salaries. Those at the “chalk face” are those deserving the pay rise – we promote the best teachers so they can teach less! Nonsensical! And they are promoted to use skills they have no training or experience of!

You know when the Tories have fukced up – The press pursue culture wars. the Telegrapgh has a new appproach claiming proliferation of electricity pylons due to electric vehicles! The Mail sticks to woke and police being banned from wearing ‘thin blue line badges’ whilst the Express claims that £1.5billion of tax payers money has been spent to prevent the illegal Rwanda scheme. Nothing on front pages of these about the cost of living crisis and the water scandal.
