Education and “The Global Race”
August 12, 2013 9:03 AM
I think it is arguable that it is the education policy space that has seen more turmoil than any other policy area since the coalition began in 2010. The tide of ceaseless initiatives and new structures, conceived—seemingly at least--from Michael Gove’s view of how the world should operate mixed with... -

All Born Equal?
August 06, 2013 8:28 AM
According to reports, the new Prince George of Cambridge is worth around £20million already, if you take the wealth of his parents into account. A stark contrast to other babies born on the same day as him last week. Whilst the media were focused on the birth of one boy-just... -

July 24, 2013 2:34 PM
According to Nick Clegg’s aides the summer will see the start of a concerted attempt to shift (further, some might add) the Liberal Democrats to the centre-Right, culminating in a series of binary choices at Conference in Glasgow on a range of issues from tax to Trident. This... -

Stephen Tall suggested that Nick Clegg’s motion on the economy, to be debated at party conference in Glasgow, marked the beginning of the 2015 general election campaign for the Liberal Democrats. I disagree. The road to 2015 began the day Nick took office as Deputy Prime Minister, the day...
