i don't think that they are doing themselves any favours though ,the timing would seem to be a little bit off .surely the best time to address this issue would be WHEN we have a new government ,as it stands they just look like they are spoiling for a fight and since the tory policy is to replace the 11yr test with one at 14 anyway what's their problem ?
