Thread title is a bit misleading - she didn't "dump him" there. Makes it sound like she drove him to the doorstep then took off. This was a protest and a good one.

I wonder if I can get a family member in to sit there for my causes...shall I try, see what happens to me. .a simple man with no privileges that shouldn't be abused!

Maybe the schools should be spending their money properly, besides they are not too bothered about kids education when they have Pds days etc.

You'de probably get arrested Parmy:laugh:

And.....


She should be ****ing working for us , not mambey pambying to such minor issues as appeasing her child.

Very very roughly I would imagine kaz.

Well done. Highlighting tory cuts

Somehow I don't think hers is the only child affected by schools having to close early on Fridays. Your attitude is bizarre - she's literally directly involving herself in something that parents feel strongly about, but according to you she's "abusing power"? Makes no sense. She's demonstrating power.

Exactly. :clap2:

Exactly right.
She is and she explained it on politics live today too.

However to some, she is a Labour MP.
So it will have nothing to do with the government's failure to ensure increases of funding per child in schools.
Which Teachers and education authorities have pointed out.
Which has been pointed out regularly on politics live too.

However being a Labour MP..
All she will do is suspect and wrong.

I admired her standing outside trying to debate with those protesters on the lgbt issue in the school in her constituency.

She's probably one of the harder working MPs actually.
Rather than criticise her, she should in my view, be supported on this issue too.

You can't blame the government for everything ,we hear all the time how money is misused and top dogs looking after themselves ,we have heard it in councils,hospitals and schools a lot is down to Mis management the pot is not bottomless.

Schools should shut early on a friday...as should all work places. ..give families more time to relax together I'm not sure why that such a large contentious issue!

Yeah, I think schools and hospitals should all have a bottom-up approach to funding - nurses + HSAs + doctors and teachers + TAs and various other support staff should be the priority rather than pen-pushers.

Tbh I'm all for having kids spend more time with mum and dad, but that's what weekends are for :)

Did you not watch the video? The schools are not getting money to spend properly.

I think what you're trying to say is "You can't blame the government for anything" and when it comes to things the government is directly responsible for, it's a poor argument.

The one time the police man has a day of

I bet she want Friday afternoon off as well

Katie Hopkins
attacks Jess/

Yes bc we all want to know what that hate merchant Hopkins has to say :idc:

If it's down to mismanagement like Jess said what is the DfE doing about it because surely they should be getting rid of people who can't run the schools and replacing them? Or is it just a lie and they're not really being funded properly?

None of us really know though ,do we ? but we are happy just to lay the blame at the government, I would bet a lot of it is with mis-management, for example our local council have just had a major refurbishmentof their offices,they pay thousands for glossy calendars to be sent out every year,plus their glossy bumph that is distributed, their vans have paintings of Wallace and Gromit on the sides,but there are potholes,housing,grass verges alleyways,lighting etc that go neglected,that is not the govenments fault.

Jess would make a great Labour leader.

A couple of years back I had my doubts on that but now really have admired her determination to deal with difficult issues.

So I agree, she would.

A conviction politician determined to right wrongs.
Good one.
