- There have been times in the past few days when I have doubted ever getting involved in the Dominic Cummings issue. Then I turn up to work to find this waiting for me in the post.
- In 2010 George Osborne cut our school's annual capital budget from £160K p.a. to £28K p.a. - an 82.5% cut. No wonder school buildings are in such a state. Shame on Osborne, Cameron, Sunak and the rest of the tories who have cut public funding to the bone.
