More honesty on our Brexit plight in a 15-min #R4today interview with Dutch PM Mark Rutte than we will hear in a 6-week Tory leadership contest


He?s clearly better qualified for No 10 than any of the candidates!


If only our own politicians treated the public like grown-ups and had an honest conversation about the realities of Brexit. Even Rory Stewart trying to play the honesty card had his own unicorn of saying he would get May's deal through parliament.

As much as I dislike him, a part of me will be pleased when Johnson becomes PM, as he will finally have to own and deal with the clusterfuck he's created, and hopefully it will see him kicked out on his lying backside in 6 months time...

Interesting editorial from the Evening Standard...


Mr Johnson is the candidate who has the most room for manoeuvre to get the country out of the Brexit mess.


That may seem a paradox, as the one who helped get us into that mess, and who again today says he wants ?to get Brexit done by October 31?.


But he is careful not to ?guarantee? that date ? Mr Johnson may be loose with words when it comes to the fates of others but never when it comes to his own.


Ask yourself which of these potential prime ministers is most likely to persuade the Conservative party to vote for a repacked version of the existing deal? The one with the greatest credibility with hard Brexiteers.


Indeed, which of these possible leaders could you imagine making the even bigger leap and asking the country again for its views?


The candidate who first came up with the idea of two referendums back in early 2016. Of course, he denies all this ? and, like the other candidates, promises to get a renegotiated withdrawal agreement out of the EU.


Perhaps he will. Most likely he will not. But one thing is for sure, having finally arrived in Downing Street, Mr Johnson won?t be in a hurry to leave it. Opportunism knocks.

JohnL - totally agree.


I don't trust BORIS or Corbyn, they both spout equal measures of crap and neither can be trusted as far as you can throw them. Boris lies, blusters, makes things up on the spot and changes things as he likes. Both will be just as bad as each other and bad for the country. The sooner we can move on and have new blood running the Government IMO the better. Would the last person turn off the lights and close the door. Perhaps the Royals would like to step forward, dissolve Parliament and take control, surely they couldn't make more of a mess than the current three year fiasco we've endured so far and are likely to suffer for for the foreseeable future.

I agree but I fear that "new blood" may be Nigel Farage who seems to be ever gaining in popularity because the electorate are seeking new blood. It's happened in the US. I'm feeling nauseous as I type this but BJ is preferable.

Hunt visits a business which employs 350 people. It has 50% of the EU market. A no deal Brexit with 10% tariffs would put it out of business. Was I hearing things when I though he said it would be worth it? What sort of fucked up logic requires a remainer MP prove how pro leave he now is by saying that? This bloody country is politically seriously ill.

Who gives a shit about where he hangs out,his parking tickets or how many posters are on his car? This imbecile is likely to dictate the future of this country. And it won't be a good outcome as he's not qualified for the job.

No offence intended to you JohnL. Just annoyed about BJ. There's a theory that the event was actually a distraction a la Trump, to avoid actually having to having explain away policies that can't work.

No offense taken and that could easily be true :).


In his way Hunt is as bad as he recognises the problem where due to a no deal a large number of people could lose their job and says so and then says he might have to do it anyway.

What Hunt said was unbelievable. Even if it if likely to happen, does any politician say out loud specific people will lose their jobs because of tariffs and that democracy comes first? Has he an ulterior motive or is the country just madder than I thought?

      Charter School ED - SEN / ADHD experience

      By JMK · Posted

      Having  current and relevant experience of both Charter North and Charter East with regards to their conduct towards SEN pupils and their families, I would say that their conduct and behaviour is wholly lacking in understanding as well as making no effort to make reasonable adjustments for the SEN pupil as legally required under Equality Act 2010. Furthermore, I believe that their behaviour is wholly illegal. According to data from Ambitious About Autism, unfortunately that is not uncommon We have separately requested legal advice as to whether or not the specific conduct of the school and certain teachers constitutes a criminal offence under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 or other legislation. These links have some very good materials to assist parents: https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk/understanding-autism/education/exclusions-know-your-rights https://www.ipsea.org.uk https://sossen.org.uk   Also, this link specifically for girls with autism as this tends to be diagnosed at a much later stage than boys and requires different support and reasonable adjustments that the neither of the policies nor behaviours of Charter East or Charter North reflect. https://autisticgirlsnetwork.org   Helen Hayes MP for Dulwich & West Norwood and whose constituency includes Charter North is Chair of the Education Committee at the Houses of Parliament They published this report on the SEND crisis on 18 Sept 2025 https://committees.parliament.uk/work/8684/solving-the-send-crisis/   Ellie Reeves (Rachel Reeves’ sister and formerly Chair of the Labour Party) is the MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich - the constituency under which Charter East falls I would urge any parents who are concerned about their children, whether SEN or not, who attend Charter North or Charter East to write to your MP canvassing their support and requesting that they write to their respective school on this subject, referencing this report of the Education Committee and the failures of Charter East and Charter North with regards to SEN, their illegal behaviour and soliciting a plan of action from them to immediately stop such behaviour and support SEN pupils with reasonable adjustments as required under the Equality Act 2010. Even if your child is not SEN, the school implementing the correct and legally required procedures materially improves the school environment for all pupils, teachers and non-teaching staff. Often the reasonable adjustments can actually be relatively minor but have a very material benefit. In our experience, there have been one or two teachers who have shown this with very positive results; however, this is the opposite of the institutional approach of both schools which is wholly negative, unsupportive and often illegal. In addition to EHCPs, there is also huge pressure at CAMHS and insufficient resource to support all cases and meet demand.  Even if families and their child are lucky to get access to it, there remains very long wait lists to access treatment.  The same is true in the private sector. A proactive and practical, common sense approach to SEN in this manner by Charter North and Charter East would also help to reduce pressure on CAMHS The latest tragedy last week at Charter North means that this is more pressing than ever.

      Thought I'd add a comment as sadly there are now too many primary schools for the number of children in this area... St Anthony's is a wonderful school and my 2 sons were extremely happy throughout the time they were there. They have some open days for reception and  nursery in Nov I believe and welcome children and families of all faiths and backgrounds. It has lovely staff and I cannot recommend it more highly!
