Why do we need the absurd defence? Of course there’s a reason behind it, the point is that you didn’t have anyone in the room to tell you the list was exclusionary. And the journalists who published the article didn’t think to question you on it. It’s called structural racism!

Labour had a plan - the Building Schools for the Future programme - to get schools repaired and rebuilt.
The Tories scrapped it in 2010. Today we once again see the damaging consequences of such poor decision-making.
Some schools in England are facing major problems thanks to a type of concrete known as RAAC
What is it, and why has it suddenly become such a big issue? ⬇️

Gove has been a central figure over the last 12 years, in a government which has resulted in economic stagnation, repeated chaos, a hollowed public realm, soaring inequality and now a cost of living crisis.
Forgive me for not eulogising his political retirement.
In every job, Michael Gove read up, listened to all sides, devised a plan with key priorities, so officials and press were clear what he was up to, and communicated clearly to voters via the media. Best departmental minister of the last decade? Not even close...

We have to bold to take the action that will tackle air pollution locally.

Nationally, we need a new Clean Air Act fit for the 21st century.
Islington has a 5% higher than average air pollution for London and 25% higher than England. An estimated 80 people will die due to air pollution in the borough this year.
