...and the DfE go on TV to bang on about grammar schools that the vast majority of kids don't and won't go to.

Charlie Stayt rightly ripped Justine Greening apart over this on BBC Breakfast this morning.

Unbelievable how blinkered the DfE are to the concerns of the vast numbers of parents who simply want their children to have a good well-rounded education, taught by qualified and experienced teachers and how this is systematically being destroyed by poor policy decisions and a lack of money in the system.

Don't be fooled by any distractions over the national funding formula, this is hitting all schools, who will be seeing a huge increase in costs over the coming few years.

That bus should have said 'let's spend billions on exiting the EU instead of funding the NHS and education' then. I wonder how many people would have voted for that.
