How about, when a family has support, a social worker is there to help deliver and to provide that ‘familiar face’ the DFE suggest? Of course not: education, health and social care working together to improve outcomes for vulnerable children has never really taken off, has it.

Will Johnson apologise?

Just imagine for a moment if these anecdotes were about a Labour MP — the mainstream media would be apoplectic and their political career would be instantly over.
But, because it's Farage, the mainstream media will do absolutely nothing and he will be fine.
I’ll happily be proved wrong. I’ll wait.

Farage, by those who were at school with him:
“He would sidle up to me and growl: ‘Hitler was right’, or ‘Gas them’, sometimes adding a long hiss to simulate the sound of the gas showers".
“I’d hear him calling other students ‘Paki’ or ‘Wog’, and urging them to ‘go home’.”
