Interesting that this teacher now works for Inspiration trust whose founder said this:

Too often the education debate in this country has been conducted by elites in Westminster and Whitehall.

Yes, that really is Dame Rachel De Souza who works for a trust whose founder was a non-executive director at the DfE...



And as I pointed out yesterday, Justine Greening is speaking later - damn those Westminster elites in their bubble!

@HindleA and howsillyofme1

Thank you.

I just assumed that she was being inept and had forgotten what her policy actually was.....or lying. She is a Tory after all so either could be applicable

Pity that Barnier is quite clever....not that he needs to be though to be honest

.@JustineGreening discusses how important teachers are to lifting up our whole education system. #PTE17

Amazing - I bet no-one's thought of that before!

No, from what I've seen so far it hasn't been any better than this...

Thank you.

Your thanks are gratefully received....even though I have no idea what I have done to deserve them apart from managing to be polite for two consecutive posts (couldn't manage three as I was rude about the PM in my last one)

(Obviously started on the gin and trying to get a threesome)

A blast from @fox_claire saying "stop whinging about the lack of cash" #PTE17

That's the well-known expert on schools and school finances talking there...

So, has all the posturing about the Brexit bill has been in vain?
The Prime Minister’s Florence speech was a horrible, corpse-like stumble into the waiting arms of Michel Barnier. He won’t be giving her a helping hand, though; he’ll be reaching into her pocket to grab her purse and then giving her a bit of a shove to help her on her fall.

The Brexiteers have a huge advantage: the way Article 50 works means that, if the Government does not give them what they (and the majority of the country’s voters) want, then they can impose a hard Brexit by bringing it down.

Not entirely happy then.

Yeah. It's not like staff are walking out over this or anything.

Oh hang on.

Yeah, I think she forgot the policy too. I don't know why she's being taken seriously.

If the UK doesn't have appropriate trade agreements and customs arrangements in place when necessary, lives and businesses are in a tough spot, isn't that the case? I'm not catastrophising for sport, I'm trying to understand. I'm unhappy with all the noises current Tory government have made thus far and wonder what they're playing at. The UK is one country, an economy its prosperity depends on being connected to other nations' economies. Other nations aren't facing catastrophic breakdown should the UK be unavailable for buying or selling.

I'm uncomfortable with the bombastic arrogance of this government. They don't care if people don't have enough to eat.

If we're talking about EU nationals already here, then we're talking about a finite number of people - not exactly a big deal in the grander scheme of things to get things moving. She's already done the obvious of accepting the four freedoms for the transition. It's possible she's doing the obvious with this, too.

Not prepared to give her any benefit of the doubt on this based on the appalling incompetence she has shown in all aspects of Brexit........

She has shown she cannot deal with unscripted and uncontrolled exchanges and I am on Tubby's page that she has just not understood the implications of what she said

Even if you are right are you sure those who will be frothing at this will accept that EU UK residents will have more rights that UK citizen residents?

I am not so convinced she has accepted the four freedoms either for the transition - it appears she has but with the ineptness of the Tories until Barnier has confirmed it has been agreed in the negotiations then I will refrain from heaping praise on her

@howsillyofme1
I don't trust her either for the reasons you've listed

Not just a case,like Cameron repeatedly did,prior to,through process and after enaction of maintaining a line of "the disabled are exempt" when they weren't when faced with the question/evidence contrary to regarding the bedroom tax,in robotic fashion.It was clear it was a lie and easilly seen to be absolute bollox on two seconds investigation but it "stuck" as a phrase in the minds of far too many?As an example.

It's hardly "heaping praise" to suggest when push comes to shove it's possible she's being forced to bend to the EU's will. Rather the opposite, actually.

It's just been pointed out that this conference with all of its talk about getting away from the Westminster bubble actually took place...in Westminster.

You really couldn't make this stuff up...

Not sure.I didn't view it as on the hoof response,she must have known it would come up/anticipated.The brief question/answer session looked a bit contrived to me.Not saying she knew the questions beforehand but would have rehearsed them if x was asked etc.She would know the "take" from the people she invited quesions from.

Really "annoying",elections/votes, recently.I think I should become the acknowledged supreme being of the known and unknown Universe and sort it out.As long as tobacco and tea levels are maintained I am usually benign.

What was the venue called "The Bubble" ?

New Brexit rules ‘could lead to unskilled workforce crisis’



A weird concept of unskilled(to me,anyway)

Everbody else's job is easy until you try it.

Well this is good news...

Growing speculation academies minister Lord Nash is preparing to quit the DfE

https://www.tes.com/news/school-news/br ... g-quit-dfe

One leading advocate of school autonomy said: "This is concerning news. John Nash is among the last of the old school of Gove-era ministerial education reformers. It is imperative that his replacement is someone equally determined and committed to the cause of academies and system autonomy."

Which basically translates as "Give us the money and then bugger off and leave us alone."

Any views on possible replacement?

And where are PF and CJA's good nights',slackers.Really isn't good enough.

'unskilled work' is called that to justify paying crap wages

Yeah but Sam Freedman said that Gibb was always more interested in curriculum and assessment.
