Amanda, is it just me, or are most politicians total arseholes?

It’s a long time since I thought Starmer was ok!

Whoops
Less than 24 hours after Starmer was all over Trump, everyone can clearly see he is the worst kind of friend you could ever need.
Let’s face it, Starmer is not very good at this is he!

I listened to this discussion.
It feels as if the Left are just massively attached to the years they’ve invested in their own theories and intellectual ideas.
Fair enough I guess, but my view is that the Greens are presenting virtually the same policies but in a better, more relatable way.

UK based.
I don’t expect much from talking/negotiating with the government. But I do enjoy reading home ed stuff.
We ended up bringing up our granddaughter - school wasn’t an option. Home Ed and meeting HE parents and kids has been a big revelation to me.

Jen,
“Conspiracy theory alert”
The government is not there to do the right thing. It’s there to protect the wealthy and the powerful.
This education bill is optics - it’s not based on reality and facts - it’s there to make it look like they care, and that they are doing something.

Schools are in crisis - aiming for impossible targets - losing staff - loads of bored kids - crumbling buildings. The last thing they need right now is an influx of HE kids and their parents.
I’m hoping the reality of life will prevail.
