Never forget that this woman has ripped up two decades of cross party consensus on education that has transformed English schools into the best in the west. She is sacrificing your child’s future on the altar of her ambition. And this latest move proves it.

MP Bridget Pillipson has never had a job other than working for her mother’s charity Wearside Women in Need. Her mother was removed from that charity for financial misconduct involving Dame Vera Baird. Bridget was groomed to become an MP by her father Fraser Kemp who was the

Susan Hall AM In just one year, Bridget Phillipson has damaged the sector hugely, by taxing SEND, closing down good schools, making teachers and staff redundant, & lowering standards and choice for all. All the while deflecting from real education issues with her failed free breakfasts.

Still makes me angry

itsfinereally I will never ever forget watching this live. Bridget could not even bring herself to think about helping children she booted out of school. As far as she was concerned, they didn’t matter and messing with their exams mid academic year satiated her spite. This is her legacy.

Lou Derry🌹 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 From the names announced so far, I'm going for an education secretary who, after 15 years, prioritises the taxation of disabled children, closes schools & has ensured school funding is at 2010 levels, prioritising no one. Fixed it for you 👍🏻.

Richard Parker Bridget Phillipson She went to a great school and eventually on to Oxford Uni. When she left she was given a job by her mother. She then got in the Labour Party and is now earning significant amounts of cash. Spare us the ridiculous back story, she sounds quite privileged to me.

I had a dream that my autistic child would ‘do better’ than me - and actually have her SEND needs met, after I didn’t. No such luck in state. So, I sent her to an independent school. Now Bitter Bridget is taxing her education & disabled learning support. #EducationNotTax

Catastropheebs 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 I had a dream that my dyslexic child would be better supported than his father, whose SEND needs were ignored and who was told he was “thick” and would amount to nothing. Jamie Oliver Bridget is taxing his education and his disabled learning support. #EducationNotTax

Bridget Phillipson Trades Union Congress "There are people in this country who want that dream to fail" Yes, they're called the Labour Party.

Bridget Phillipson Trades Union Congress “The hard right are telling young people where I come from that it doesn't matter if they work hard in life, they can't get on.” When have they said that? 🤷‍♀️You are the one doing this! Rather than inspiring young people, you direct their focus on inequality & victimhood!

Has she gone completely gaga?

BelindaSales. Bridget Phillipson How can you support anyone who willingly harms children? Absolutely disgraceful.

Bridget Phillipson is perhaps the most destructive and vindictive minister in Starmer’s government. More so even than Miliband, who can at least blame being a halfwit for the damage he causes. So you can see why Starmer thinks she’d make a great deputy leader.

The only consistent strand of this Labour government is that union demands come ahead of the needs of the country. Phillipson’s education vandalism, sponsored by the unions, was never about children it was about pleasing her backers & her leadership ambitions. Read my piece 👇

Bridget Phillipson is claiming Labour have recruited more teachers - it's a total lie. Teacher numbers are DOWN because of her broken promises.

Laura Trott MP Chester What a job though. £178,000 plus expenses. Free clothes, Concert tickets and a spiffing £14,000 Bday Party... For what? An unworkable Cornflakes for Kids of Lazy Parents scheme and a spiteful VAT levy. In the real world, she'd have been escorted off the premises. The Labour Party

The Labour Party have taken 12 months to turn a fictional £22bn black hole into a real £50bn black hole. It’s your mess.
