Retired but stll a leftie. Anti Tory. Pro fairness and respect to all

So it continues. I read this evening that Sunak has stopped ministers appearing daily on the morning media round. They will only now appear when they have announcements to make.

Another example about how the tories want to escape scrutiny and accountability. The sooner they are out the better

I know it's very early but looks like the Republicans have not had it all their own way in the mid terms. Keeping my fingers cross that democrats can hold the senate
So I have 2 takeaways from the Williamson debacle.
1) We already knew that Williamson was a very poor minister after his disaster in Education. Now we know he's also very, very nasty
2) Sunak's political judgement is really very poor. To appoint him in the first place was clearly a misjudgement. Sticking by him for so long was crass
Big headline on the BBC that schools are looking to cut staff in order to balance their budgets - and this is before the new round of austerity cuts. If we can't protect education and support our children what have we become? Can this Tory government take us any lower?
