Labour: PM's school budget cuts as chancellor 'contributed' to school issues today



Labour’s Pat McFadden said: “I don’t think Rishi Sunak has done the right thing by schools.

“I’ve looked at the figures this morning of when he was chancellor, the capital budget for schools fell from over £700m a year to £500m and then £400m.

“He cut the budget for school improvements and that has contributed to the issues we have today.”

  1. Women don’t want to be builders, architects, traffic wardens, photographers, delivery drivers, Uber riders, security, fire services, warehouse workers, plumbers, electricians, welders, sailors, street bin cleaners, farmers and to have the audacity to talk about equal pay. These women would rather not contribute to society n sit their asses in the offices is all they can do.

  2. Waiting to hear if she asks him whether Labour will restore the schools building maintenance programme.
    Edit: To her credit, she did ask him. Usual bland New Labour answer though, and no we don't know what we're voting for.

  3. He may not be charismatic, or handsome, but he is rock steady, his answers more meticulous, and tends to answer the questions, no fancy word play or things like that.

    He sorta reminds me of Clement Attlee, a very modest, straight forward man, who’s wife drove him everywhere in their car, and a woman, when our late Queen Elizabeth found out Attlee’s wife was sat in the car waiting for her husband, because he was in a meeting with the Queen, was horrified!

    She immediately sent someone to bring her in to the meeting!
