Well I'm sure there'll be some nice lucrative building contracts up for grabs on the back of the collapsing schools scandal. Let's hope the contracts are let in a transparent way.

Probably to new companies set up by the same cowboys who did job first time round.

Some of these schools were built along time ago I think, before the risks were known, so I think we can forgive the developers of the time for it.

The bigger failings are some of these schools should have been rebuilt anyway, the Government canned the big rebuilding project when they got into office, and why did they take so long to act when it became clear this was a big problem a few years ago? Why wait until the start of a school term in 2023 when they've known for several years this was a risk?

Millions of long term sick will be waking up this morning with severe anxiety....

(Disability and illness benefit changes 'proposed') Those that claim will (probably/proposed) be made to look for work or be sanctioned.

Well, well, well, three months ago 1 million quid of the schools rebuilding budget was given to a company where Gillian Keegan's husband is a director, bet she wants a pat on the back for that now too, seriously how hard can it be to give the money to people you aren't married to

Another by-election.

Former Tory whip Chris Pincher has said he has "made arrangements to resign and leave the Commons" after losing his appeal against an eight-week suspension over groping allegations.

It means the government will face another by-election.

The Parliament's standards committee had said his "completely inappropriate" behaviour was an "abuse of power".

If she was a gift she'd be socks, in your least favourite colour and two sizes too small. :rolleyes:

Hasn't she been sectioned yet ? I know the NHS is stretched but she's an extreme case.
