@RestIsPolitics Huge fan of the pod, but respectfully, the discussions about education quickly fall into a series of tropes, e.g. your talk about the national curriculum ignores the fact that academies, the vast majority of schools, do not have to follow it.

@GiftedLondon @teacherhead @LAEstratford Thanks Tom. Totally agree with Ian on all points.

@RealGeoffBarton @ASCL_UK The issue is the preferred qualification or programme of study and the funding and resourcing available to support the ambition. The rationale seems clear.

@Peston I think @krishgm can advise you here.

@RhonddaBryant As the son and grandson of Rhondda residents, I am deeply proud that you are our MP.

@nadhimzahawi @RishiSunak A day IS a long time in politics. Longer than the remainder of your career.
