I know someone who would have been perfect; a former serviceman with a distinguished record, a veteran of the frontline, a pilot, a family man, an author, a generous philanthropist .... he's not an MP but I'm sure something could have been worked out:Jesus Christ.
They could have given it to someone like Tom Tugendhat. At least he'd know what other armed services personnel are talking about.
Do you know what, it’s an extraordinarily low bar, but I honestly think your suggestion isn’t anywhere near as ridiculous as Grant Shapps.I know someone who would have been perfect; a former serviceman with a distinguished record, a veteran of the frontline, a pilot, a family man, an author, a generous philanthropist .... he's not an MP but I'm sure something could have been worked out:
Ah thanks ... Lisa got a side-move ... that's ok. Rewarded with some nice oversea's trips.Full List here:
So Boris Johnson shagging anything with a pulse and getting sucked off in his office is OK because he’s a bit of a lad, but a woman used a bad word?Geezus, I love how the meeja are all clutching their pearls because a female MP said 'Fucking' in a off-the-cuff remark. Grow-up.
I’ll take quietly competent over deranged, incompetent, money grabbing cockwombles any day.I laugh about how the tories are scraping the bottom of the barrel with their cabinet appointments then I read that list of entirely uninspiring dross. I suppose they are just going for 'quietly competent'.
She's not wrong tbf.Geezus, I love how the meeja are all clutching their pearls because a female MP said 'Fucking' in a off-the-cuff remark. Grow-up.
So will I!!I’ll take quietly competent over deranged, incompetent, money grabbing cockwombles any day.
Assuming the 'reliable source' isn't just a figment of someone's imagination.Well this is all totally unsurprising and utterly predictable
How many Education secretary's have said the same thing over the years? Leave it for the next one.Well this is all totally unsurprising and utterly predictable
two scandals in one day for her!Well this is all totally unsurprising and utterly predictable
The swearing may have caught the attention but it's the suggestion that she has been doing 'a good job' while 'others sat on their arses' that is the meat of the story. Of course the 'others' to which she is referring is anyone other than the government for the last 13 years. Meanwhile Sunak is claiming to have never met the Chancellor who cut the DFE's bid to fund rebuilding of 200 schools per year down to 50.Geezus, I love how the meeja are all clutching their pearls because a female MP said 'Fucking' in a off-the-cuff remark.

To be honest I don't think the fundamental issue is Education Secretaries. They don't control the budget they are given. Of course if they want to keep their job (which after all is the main consideration) they'll go along with it whatever they really feel.How many Education secretary's have said the same thing over the years?

"Quietly competent" will do me fine, instead of the current wankers.I laugh about how the tories are scraping the bottom of the barrel with their cabinet appointments then I read that list of entirely uninspiring dross. I suppose they are just going for 'quietly competent'.
It might be but what isn't in doubt that in May 2023, a Labour motion to publish the building condition reports for every school in the country was defeated by 300 Tory MPs voting against it including one "Keegan, G". It's almost like they had something to hide.Assuming the 'reliable source' isn't just a figment of someone's imagination.
This. The swearing isn't the issue, it's the suggestion that she should be 'thanked' for a 'fucking good job.' As both a teacher and a SEND parent she needs to fuck off. Her government have destroyed education and they can all absolutely get to fuck before I'll thank them for anything.The swearing may have caught the attention but it's the suggestion that she has been doing 'a good job' while 'others sat on their arses' that is the meat of the story.

Anyone of a certain age won't be surprised by this story. My kids were at school during the previous Tory administration when again schools were allowed to become dilapidated.

I'd be happy with just 'competent' at this point."Quietly competent" will do me fine, instead of the current wankers.
And of course, not corrupt.I'd be happy with just 'competent' at this point.
The school rebuilding programme was launched 2 years ago which even on the mystery Chancellor's budget should mean that we should be well on the way to 100 schools being refurbished. This afternoon it's revealed that the actual number completed is .... 4.The swearing may have caught the attention but it's the suggestion that she has been doing 'a good job' while 'others sat on their arses' that is the meat of the story.
