Rishi Sunak provided funding to repair just a fraction of the schools that needed rebuilding during his time as Chancellor despite “critical” concerns over pupil safety, a former senior civil servant has claimed.

"We will spend what it takes to make sure children can go to school safely, yes.”
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt this morning.

Hours later, Treasury sources briefed that any such funding will come from the Department for Education’s existing budget for buildings – and not from additional funds.

They don't care.

*Grant Shapps*, aka Michael Green/Corinne Stockheath/Sebastian Fox, is now UK Defence Secretary? What a deeply depressing parody of a government the Tory Party of Sunak and Johnson has become. #ToryBritain #ToryCorruption

Interesting that you said that, because my mum said the same thing.

And my husband and I have considered it.

Italy🇮🇹 is out of the question (fascism, including a hatred for LGBTQ :newpride: :anqueer_flag: people). France 🇫🇷 (my family's country) has its problems.

I don't think there's a place to go.

All the countries are fucked up now. Either turning far right, having economic problems and more than likely, both.

There's no safe home.

Bit late for that, isn’t it? #ToryBritain #ToriesOut https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/aug/13/we-risk-being-seen-as-the-nasty-party-again-warn-senior-conservatives

Why this lament for a burnt-out pub? Is it because #Britain seems a bit of a #CrookedHouse these days?

The fate of an historic landmark has certainly struck a chord: neglected and then reduced to rubble. Uncanny isn’t it?

Someone in No. 10 either doesn’t know that the UK has left the EU, or doesn’t know the meaning of ‘other’. Either way it’s not a good look. #ToryIncompetence #ToryBritain https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-66461563?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA

I’m increasingly wondering if the Prime Minister is an idiot. 🤔 #ToryBritain https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66358537

I was watching TV a few days ago and saw an advert asking for donations to feed starving children. Seems unimaginable but these starving children live in the UK. In #ToryBritain after #Brexit.

Fast forward a few days and #BritishGas announces profits of £969m, and that's just for six months! An almost 900% increase while children in the UK are starving. Aided and abetted by the most right wing Tory government that's ever been in power, and that includes the Thatcher years. A party for the rich.

"In 2019 around four million people were unable to access an NHS dentist – the latest figures found that 12 million people have been unable to get an appointment. And many patients can’t afford to pay for NHS care even if they can access it, as the government has increased NHS dental charges by 8.5%"

Today's Guardian briefing examines the awful state of British dentistry, 'dental deserts' and people resorting to pulling out their own teeth.

That half of university students don’t end up paying off their full student loan is hardly universities’ fault. If anything, it’s an indictment of the graduate job market and loans system in which most of the money paid back ends up going on interest, not funding education.

In other words, arts and humanities degrees are not a rip-off, #studentLoans are. #HigherEducation #ToryLies #ToryBritain

A very good summing up of the Tories' woeful performance on the climate crisis over the last 13 years in today's Guardian First Edition briefing.

Here are five pledges I could get behind:

– Halve emissions
– Tax the rich
– Increase public investment
– Fund the NHS
– Stop the Tories

Sunak’s five pledges to voters may be what finally drags him down. #ToryBritain #ToryIncompetence https://www.irishtimes.com/world/uk/2023/06/26/sunaks-five-pledges-to-voters-may-be-what-finally-drags-him-down/

Since 2010, #UK five-year-olds have been showing signs of reduced growth, a likely symptom of policies that have led to impoverished lives.
