The Telegraph reports that Theresa May plans to give every school in England the chance to become a grammar school, provided they help poor people enough too, but Labour could not be angrier.

Let me share what I consider the crux of the matter:

But it has turned its back on them (the working classes) under Mr Corbyn in favour of affluent metropolitan Lefties who can fret about the effect grammar schools may have but will no doubt have the money to send their children to private school.

The Labour Party has been hijacked by the far-left for whom the end justifies the means. Corbyn is a puppet being manipulated by dark forces.

Thoughts?

This is an excellent article from Robert Watts, the Deputy Political Editor at the Telegraph. Check it out!

Another Tory minister demands u-turn on Heathrow – Telegraph.

For me, the article cites further evidence of yet another potential U-turn from the Government, and evidence screaming the case for increasing demand by infrastructure capital spending.

Regular readers of this blog will be familiar with my gold-standard for Government, namely:

Strong leadership
Overarching vision
Coordinated and carefully analyzed strategy, and
Fully risked assessed, properly costed and effectively managed delivery plans

I am not a historian but I wonder just how badly historians will judge David Cameron’s Government?

Against other post-war UK governments, where will it rank?

Of course, there is one other final thought. If one were to conduct a theory of constraint analysis at Heathrow, the real constraint is not the number of runaways, it’s the speed with passports are viewed by border staff!
