Wow!! Covid ‘catch-up’ funding per pupil….. US - £1,600 Netherlands - £2,500 UK……£50 (says Institute for Fiscal Studies)

Rishi Sunak is very over-rated as chancellor- both substantively & in relation to his political abilities. See: eat out to help out, acting as block on timely autumn lockdown - which caused countless deaths, holiday hunger, & now refusal to fund adequate education catch up.

Imagine thinking that £50 per student to catch up was acceptable when it’s less than you as an MP are allowed to expense for your daily lunch.

Please retweet: Aotearoa citizen scientists - if you have any photos of the recent flooding please consider uploading them to nzfloodpics.co.nz This will allow scientists to use your photos to better understand the flooding and help prepare for next time.

The supposed "outing" of Jess Brammar for left leaning views feels like new McCarthyism. There is also inherent hypocrisy here. How could the BBC employ Andrew Neil when he was chairman of the Spectator Group but not someone who dares to have an opinion that is not Conservative?
