School lockdowns unfortunately effected the poorest disproportionately. Some poorer kids missed the structure and unfortunately in some cases safety of school. It's hard to get studying done when you're in cramped conditions with other siblings ,compared to others who have a room to themselves and a desk. The well off could afford online tutoring, the profits in tutorful rocketed during the pandemic.

As always it's the poorest that suffer in life

No improvement in school attainment gap in England for 20 years, report says!!


The attainment gap between poorer pupils and their better-off class mates is just as large now as it was 20 years ago, according to a damning new report which says the coronavirus pandemic is likely to have increased the inequalities in education

That's comparing this year x to 20 years ago y. The gap was pretty flat but shortening in secondary school in particular pre pandemic. It certainly wasn't shortening quick enough though

Since 2011, we have narrowed the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers at every stage of education up to the pandemic, and recent figures show that a record proportion of the most disadvantaged students are progressing to higher education

I actually hate it when these far right racists namecheck Tolkien as inspiration. Maybe they think they see an ideological brother because he was a professor of Old English and Saxon history and the bad guys in his tales were generally dark skinned. In fact his work takes inspiration from different races working together to defeat common enemies.

The Economic Secretary is responsible, though more senior ministers share in decision-making, for the answering of written and verbal parliamentary questions and for the devising of regulations, orders and legislation in various matters. These matters include banking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank) and finance, including banks, insurance, personal savings, financial regulation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_regulation), and foreign exchange reserves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_reserves). He or she is also involved in taxation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation) as it impacts on these areas, such as tax on savings and pensions, and Insurance Premium Tax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance_Premium_Tax_(United_Kingdom)). In addition, the Economic Secretary advises on economic policy and works with other Treasury ministers on the Comprehensive Spending Review (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Spending_Review) and finance bills (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finance_Bill)

Bottom one is pretty poor article. She is talking about reversing the NI increase that was implement a few months ago and got criticised for hurting the poorest. If it only saves them 76p a month now then it only cost them 76p a month when it was implemented. I do however think it’s a crappy solution.

They need to massively raise the tax and Ni thresholds and then increase the % paid on amounts over that threshold. It’s the easiest way to help those who work but don’t earn large sums whilst still raising more money in taxes from those earning 50-60k a year and up.

Never ever going to happen though.

This happened in Nottingham last weekend. Around fifty youths stormed into a McDonald's outlet in the city centre with some jumping the counter and helping themselves to food.

Not in any ways condoning this behaviour and I feel there's a hint of opportunism about it but how long before these types of incidents spread more widely, just as looting did in previous times. Copycat incidents will certainly happen.

My dad is still haunted by his mortgage rate being 17.5% in 1981. Every time interest rates go up he mentions it. Early days of Thatcher and my parents had bought a new house in 1980, a whopping £15,000. By 1981 inflation was around 20% and interest rates reached 17.5% to bring it down, with unemployment going through the roof, reaching 3.2 million in 1982.

My dad says he only kept the house by working all the hours God sent and borrowing money from my grandparents. Had he been unlucky enough to lose his job like so many others, we would have been homeless. He still says that period was the closest he came to a nervous breakdown, worrying about keeping a roof over his family's heads. He had three kids under five.

Yeah in the 70s house prices were closer to 2x yearly wage, now pushing 8x. Could be a couple of hundred pound a month people have to find on top of spiraling fuel prices. Frightening and sad there will be many losing there homes through no fault of their own

I had just bought a house a few months before that all kicked off. I was left with £3 odds a month from my main wage after the mortgage came off. I was working in a bar 4 nights a week too. Somehow we got through.

Yes, it was hell for many, Jack, and a lot families went under. So many families were just grateful to survive as neighbours went to the wall and lost everything. My mum used to give neighbours kids their dinner because they were hungry. We didn't have much, but there was enough to survive because my dad had his job. Nothing was said, so not to make their parents feel ashamed. It seems like another world now, but people still live it now with food banks etc.

Good piece. Just because inflation is expected to drop to 3% in a few years that doesn't mean prices will go down, just the increases will slow.

I wouldn't freeze prices as we need a big drop in consumption and that also means the rich will benefit the same. Its going to need billions to sort and it should be targeted. Massive grants for those on benefits, then sliding scale for every 10k family income going up.

No policy will be perfect. But more to the point the tories aren't going to choose any of the decent policies anyway, so many deaths are now inevitable

To be fair to the lying oaf, he wasn't actually recommending buying a new kettle as a solution to the current energy crisis. He was trying to make a point about short term pain leading to long term gain. Pay £700million for a nucular reactor now, get cheaper keeelowatts later on. Truss will probably deliver short, medium and long term pain anyway, so he shouldn't have bothered.

I'm actually pondering retirement or partial retirement as my pension, when taken, is linked to CPI. The longer I stay building up and contributing to my new pension, that has been forced on me by the Tories, the less the bulk of my closed pension will be worth as it is linked to final salary. Many colleagues who retired a decade ago with 10 years less service now have a bigger pension that those leaving now. Not getting cost of living rises for final salary schemes cripples those pensions and that means the bulk of public servants with long service. We are losing out and have been losing out more than private sector workers for over a decade and even our Union might get us out on Strike after two ballots which never reached the Anti Trade Union Law Ballots. We certainly in Scotland imo.

I have never had any concern with inflation as long as my wage reflects the inflation. As a Civil Servant that is very rarely the case and our salaries fall dramatically every time the Tolies get into power. The big issue with this year is that disputes appear to be finishing with a 5-7% award for workers in a climate where 20% inflation could be with us in the next 6 months. So wage awards are already 5-7% cuts and worse will follow. If it calms down to 2% in a couple of years there is every chance that workers will have seen wages cut buy 10-15%(in the case of public servants, another 10-15%) and that isn't sustainable.

As you say I don't think people realise that inflation rises are permanent unless you get deflation and that isn't a target for Government and never likely will be. Workers seem to be at last catching on that they are getting it in every orifice and have been for at least a decade. We desperately need an Autumn and Winter of discontent to rebalance workers pay against the cost of living. The consequences of not doing so are death and poverty and the economy being destroyed with payments not being made by workers, small businesses closing down and a massive rise in crime and disorder. Basically we are getting towards Tory nirvana and they are absolutely loving it.

Truss will probably deliver short, medium and long term pain anyway, so he shouldn't have bothered.

Forgetting that there is short, medium and long term environmental problems with nuclear. The kettle isn't built on land that locals want to remain unbuilt on and where there is already issues with water supply, medium term there may well be other better and cheaper ways to get energy from tidal etc and long term Nuclear Waste and the danger that aging facilities present become a massive issue. Buy a kettle though and all will be solved assuming it last over two years and you can afford to boil it in the first place. Yes he was making a wider point but he is a simpleton trying to, and succeeding mostly, appeal to other simpletons

Did he mention how the new power plant would be funded. Originally it was a surcharge on consumers bills. Great timing for that

This might end up being the last straw for me. We have been looking at emigration for a bit but every passing week getting more and more certain it's the right thing to do.

No surprise there. It's one of the things I thought was guaranteed after we left the EU. Every worker in the country should join a union and fight for their rights.

Joe Lycett turning up on the new Laura Kuennssberg show pretending to be very right wing was all a bit weird. No idea why they booked him or what they expected and Kuennssberg looked generally pissed off that he was there at all, but I think a lot of people might now genuinely think he's actually very right wing and supports Truss.

Rees Mogg got the easy one, a job he might actually do, offshore the entire UK business structure to Ireland so it can trade unhindered with the EU and beyond on favourable terms like his own company. No hard brexit for him.

He very obviously was - but honestly a lot of people that would watch that on a Sunday morning absolutely won't get that. Amazed that they booked him for Kuennssberg's first show though, very risky from her producers to bring a comedian in who was always likely to take the piss out of the whole thing, and she looked seriously unimpressed!

Very badly judged idea adding him to the panel. Came across as trying to take the piss out of politics in general and for me at least, it undermined what they were trying to do. There is definitely a place for that, but not on the Sunday Politics slot and definitely not done as clumsily as Lycet did it.

That report is just f***ing horrendous. Hard to believe those things are happening in a 'civilised' society. The phsical restraints being used are reminiscent of those used in High Secure Units as a last resort.

I am utterly sickened.
.

'When custody officers went to take one asylum seeker from his room at Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre, near Heathrow airport, they found him self-harming on his bed. A report said he was bleeding after making “cuts to his right arm using parts of a drinks can”, and would not stop cutting himself until officers seized his arms.'

'He was put under constant supervision as part of an official suicide prevention strategy, while a second asylum seeker told staff that he would “kill himself” if he was forced to get on the flight. That detainee was then put in a waist restraint belt and physically attached to a plane seat.'

'''Staff described him as “very distressed” and said that after boarding the plane he “started to scream and to hit his head against the seat in front”.One of the custody officers described restraining his wrists, arms and head, and then, when he started biting his tongue, applying a “mandibular angle” pain technique to make him release it.'

They would be disappointed they had allowed them to escape. My heart of course goes out to the refugees but the staff that are being asked to work in these centres need looked at too.

Those two lanes to be pumped full of human sewage, to help water company profits in England.

Kuennsberg will probably stick to 'serious' :wink: political commentators on her show now. Hope she gets Fintan O'Toole on soon:

Sunak and his supporters being shafted by Truss in reshuffle.
Sunak, Raab, Shapps, Barclay & Eustice all gone from cabinet.
Truss setting out who is boss, and having none of this "unity Government" nonsense.

Meet the new Health Secretary and Deputy PM:

He doesn’t hold back does he! And sadly he’s spot on. So depressing but Scotland does have an option…

she has a point...

The wife of sacked minister Johnny Mercer has called new Prime Minister Liz Truss (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/liz-truss/index.html) an 'imbecile'.

Mercer is the only tory I have time for.

It's not Truss or her cabinet it's who's pulling the strings behind them.

oh absolutely, Johnson the circus clown was more than happy to take any flack for being incompetent in the role as it's opened a whole load of new opportunities for him, Truss already planning on a visit to Ukraine after accepting zelensky's invitation, of course she will get a street named after her as well like Big Dog did

[Bostonhibby]

It's not Truss or her cabinet it's who's pulling the strings behind them.They've made a killing on PPE contracts whilst the PM and his chums partied, what are they going to get away with next whilst Truss tries to find out what is and isn't Russia, or focuses on cornering the global cheese market for Britannia?

Tories surprised by the action of fellow Tories.

Forgive me for not shedding a tear.

[Smartie]

I have to say "imbecile" is probably the word that springs to mind most readily whenever I've heard her speak.

She's cured my impostor syndrome though, so fair play to her.

The guy who wanted immunity for ex soldiers who killed civilians in NI.

And also took in a shed load of cash for approx a few hours work a week?

Just because the likes of Felicity Cornelius-Mercer and her husband and Theresa May have turned on their leader out of blatant self interest, it doesn’t follow that they should now be treated as anyone else but another one of the selfish idiots that have literally robbed us all blind over the last 12 years. They can all get in the stocks or under the guillotine as far as I’m concerned.

I don't recall any backlash prior to this change in status.

Alister Jack staying on as viceroy in Scotland. He really is an odious character, which I suppose is why he's a Tory politician.

Cruella Braverman is every bit as nasty as Patel, if not more :agree:

(1) Pranay Manocha on Twitter: "I’m Indian, so I can attest that Patel and Braverman are cut from the same cloth. They are the products of the worst cultural and social systems of racism and discrimination we have in Indian society. The only truth they know is the privilege these systems endow on them." / Twitter (https://twitter.com/PranMan/status/1567227783113236481)

Truss is a hopeless automaton and she buffered a few times at her first PMQs today, but she was still an order of magnitude better than Johnson at it. She had a reasonable stab at actually providing answers to some parts of Starmer's questions, which Johnson never did.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/sep/08/liz-truss-reveals-campaign-donations-including-100k-from-wife-of-ex-bp-exec


Liz Truss raised more than £420,000 in donations for her successful leadership bid - with biggest single contribution made by wife of a former BP exec.

Corruption in plain sight. What does BP get in return for their £100k? No windfall tax on excess profits.
Nobody says anything, nobody does anything. The Tories just carry on their corrupt ways.

In this time of mass grief as well as "grief" a measure of Thérèse Coffey's sense of compassion.

The Maybot seems now, in the light of what followed, to be a relatively honest sort, but this was her today.

May told MPs in the House of Commons:

I remember one picnic at Balmoral, which was taking place in one of the bothies on the estate. The hampers came from the castle, and we all mucked in to put the food and drink out on the table.

I picked up some cheese, put it on a plate and was transferring it to the table. The cheese fell on the floor. I had a split-second decision to make.

She went on:

I picked up the cheese, put it on the plate and put it on the table. I turned round to see that my every move had been watched very carefully by Her Majesty the Queen.

I looked at her. She looked at me and she just smiled. And the cheese remained on the table.

Shirley not caring whether she poisoned a 90-odd year old queen is worse than 'running through wheatfields', which she said at one point was the worst behaviour she could remember? Did she lie, or did the poisoning incident come later than the wheatfields interview?

Both the sovereign queen and the Maybot clearly follow the ‘five second rule’, just like my own household.

That’s class for you.
