@bphillipsonMP You do realise that pulling the funding for PE and Sport Grant from Jan 27 isn’t levelling the playing field?

School budgets have been set and schools have committed to contracts for the next academic year!

The “Blue Labour” strategy still being promoted by some on Lab right is to try and win social cons while holding on to social liberals.

Failure state for this strategy is failing to win social cons while alienating social liberals.

Here is a map of that failure state:

Last Monday I was interviewed by Caroline Lucas at the Brighton Festival. I think I shocked a few people - including Caroline - when I said it was hard for Reform UK to win a majority without winning seats like Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven.

I write more about it here:

These election results were grim …and not just for Labour

There can be no sugar-coating these local election results. It was an unmitigated disaster, not only for Labour – the main electoral losers – but more importantly for society at large.

While more and more Labour MPs are looking to Andy Burnham as their political saviour, Thursday’s elections highlights the dangers of Reform UK replacing him as Mayor of Gtr Manchester

100 pc wrong. Starmer carried out the McSweeney strategy to the letter - albeit not very well - endless micro announcements on migration that anyway did not impress Reform voters but added to sense Starmer had no agenda/beliefs. The chief threat to Labour is the chronic inability to articulate in primary colours why it is in power.

Total school funding was held flat in real terms in last year’s spending review.
Don’t take our word for it take IFS.

🚨 NEW: Schools are continuing to cut back on staff, subjects, and SEND support, we have found.

Our new research reveals a worrying picture for schools, with essential staff and activities being cut to manage tight budgets ⬇️🧵

Pepe Di’Iasio, the general secretary of ASCL said: “This research shows the contradiction which exists between the government’s aspirations for the education system and the amount of money that it is prepared to provide to realise those aspirations.”

[Calderdale Against School Cuts @CalderdaleASC]

“Although the government has made some additional funding available, this is unlikely to be sufficient to support reforms on the scale envisaged or address existing funding shortages.” https://t.co/UiLFgyJ4pH

20 years ago today my sister Cathy died to alcoholism

Her final wish: share her story so others seek help sooner❤️

If you’re struggling, reach out to someone

If you’re worried about someone, start the conversation

It could save a life

You’re not alone
