Brilliant analysis countering much of the "education is failing young people" and screen-phobia of the Milburn Report. It is 20 years of zero growth that means the job market is not there to support students and young people. Political class should look internally for the problem and not scapegoat.
"He told them that he had been stabbed four times. The response from one officer was: "I don't think you have mate"." Horrific consequence of the scepticism and Testimonial Injustice that we saw as institutionalised with the police and support services.

Not surprised in the slightest. Starmer has been trotting out the Tory's Greateat Hits since becoming PM. Clearly no sign of the listening and learning that has supposed to have taken place since the council elections.
I expect a similar letter to be drafted by the Office for Students in the not too distant future.
