Public transport is rubbish in areas outside of the main cities. Even with the very welcome train station at Horden, we are practically cut off from the towns and cities. Cars are the only option for most.

Exactly. I remember asking a HT years ago if "every adult mattered" too? He couldn't respond. Says it all. That was probably 20 years ago. Nothing much changes. (Definitely not the pay!)

It's all of it. It's pay, it's some kids, it's some parents (I have to say that the kids in my school are amazing). It's workload. It's some managers. It's Ofsted. It's the ridiculous curriculum which is under resourced. It's academies. The whole system is broken.

"Enlist private sector" = spend lots of money. 🤦🏻

She needs to reconsider the 2025 pay rise for teachers in that case. Otherwise they'll continue to leave in their droves. The whole system needs reform.

Or Tory. Not only that, landlords often put DSS people in their houses and many of them wreck properties and behave in an antisocial way. Some empty houses are used for cannabis farms. It's disheartening. No MPs understand this because they live in nice streets.

Yes. Not only that private landlords are one of the biggest problems with regards to rundown properties and the decline of areas.

Totally agree.

Totally agree.
Absolutely. Not only that, they constantly allow others to dictate the narrative. For example, the press decided starmer was having a reset. This makes him look indecisive and weak but I didn't hear him challenging that branding.

I sympathise. Labour hasn't done itself any favours by taking the winter fuel allowance away, either! It's a massive own goal. People were expecting them to start taxing the rich but they don't see evidence of that. In fact, quite the opposite. This will plague them.

Indeed. They'd be disastrous but many people think labour are too. They call them "liebour". It's all I see in local fbk groups.

It's nothing to do with that. You're looking at it from a common sense point of view. People here have seen no investment since 1980s. They don't believe any mainstream party will change their lives. Farage shouts loudest. They genuinely think he's the answer.
