    It really does make no sense that he can do that.

    An example of Johnson’s legendary attention to detail perhaps.

    He’ll certainly have signed the official secrets act.
    And all official correspondence should be and will be marked with the relevant sensitivity marking.

    But these aren’t official messages, they’re private messages between ‘friends’. Whether they really ought to exist at all is the right question, there’s evidence to suggest that actual government business is being conducted using WhatsApp etc and that definitely is against the rules- but to complain would be seen as moaning about trivial details.

    There are some genuinely troubling issues with leaders using unauthorised technology to run government, but these messages aren’t that, they’re just mates discussing a colleague.

    The whole thing is rancid. Hard to know which one to despise the most. It’s like Goebbels leaking that Hitler thought Himmler was $hit

    That pillar of society. Jeffrey Archer on GMB this morning. Bleating that this Cummings stuff should stay behind closed doors. Not bad for someone with a criminal record. (perjury). a dubious past. False claims of titles. Why would he not want things hidden. (Sarcasm)

    He makes my Skin crawl and is given airtime.

    Paul Foot. a Daily Mirror columnist and investigator. Did some brilliant reports on Archer. One of the biggest cnust in society.

    And people fill his pockets ffs. (for his books) Former Tory MP for those not aware.

    As a one off...i.e. breaking my self imposed moratorium on posting on political threads I could not resist posting a response agreeing with your comment above. My wife, even though retired as a teacher several years ago after decades uttered a few 'Gove induced' expletives on several occasions, and was grateful to have left the profession before all the changes.

    She had already experienced interference and huge changes (few of them good) from one after another .. Keith Joseph, Kenneth Baker (to name but two)
    Gove's classic quotes (one 'lifted' from 'The Karate kid') - " There is no such thing as a bad pupil only a bad teacher" and (regarding league table results)... " We want ALL schools to deliver results that are better than average" ????,were laughable. The Government obsession with 'testing' (as a farmer once said ... "You don't fatten a pig by constantly weighing it") deflected teachers from teaching (due to the weight of admin required to administer them.)

    He also tried to influence curriculum and re introduce nonsensical, outdated content. History teaching would revert to rote learning of battles dates places treaties etc (rather than exploring the social impact etc these event had). Although I am less sure that it was solely down to Gove but the narrowing of curriculum with Music, Arts being underfunded in terms of recruitment (favouring fast track and higher salaries for those teaching science, IT and maths) seemed to co-incide with the time he was Education Secretary.

    Of course you know all this first hand. Teachers are professionals and should be treated as such.

    Think the FT won the Paul Foot award recently for their inquiry into Mr Camerons dubious dealings

    Forgot to add. LORD FUCKIN ARCHER. How on earth someone with his past, is allowed to keep the title, is beyond all reason.

    I liked it this morning. In fact it made me laugh.

    And I'm still laughing at it now
