Sir Bernard Ingham: 'Weirdo' Dominic Cummings behind plans for White House-style briefings, Margaret Thatcher's spokesman says
However in Scotland, where the new term began earlier this month, there has already been a small number of school closures following cases of the virus. The Association of Schools and College Leaders and the National Education Union have called for the government to set out a 'plan B' for how education will be provided if similar local closures are required elsewhere.Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer told The Observer newspaper that the chances of schools reopening was at"serious risk" because the Department for Education had spent recent weeks dealing with the controversies around exam results rather than putting plans in place.
Liberal Democrat education spokeswoman Layla Moran said:"The government must rapidly upscale test and trace and ensure schools have the mental health support, financial resources and the use of community spaces they need ahead of opening fully."To restore confidence among parents, pupils and teachers, the best thing the prime minister could do is sack him, rather than speak for him.
Why don’t you have to wear PPE in UK schools? My children’s school even say they have a “No Mask policy” at school and my wife is a teacher and she hasn’t been given any PPE to wear. When I go back to the office we have strict guidelines to follow with PPE and social distancing
It must be acknowledged that the facts about children at least risk of/from/spreaders has been available for sometime! Only those over focused on the infection metric may have missed it. Schools should have reopened in June so it would be unforgivable not to do so in September.
Some kids have not been to school since February
Their life chances could be hurt by having a Tory Government that doesn't care about them.
BorisJohnson being a superb example of the benefits of education
Their life chances would suffer more without parents.
My kids are going back. They need to go back. It’s safe enough. I can’t wait for all the moaners and Facebook Karen’s to get fined for not sending them back.
Pity Keir Starmer is in Big Len's pocket.
No-one is saying that children shouldn't go back. People are saying clearly they want to know their children will be safe when they go back. The government are saying children are low-risk, however we don't know for certain how this virus affects children for sure.
Yes, however the lives of all teachers and school staff and their families will change forever if the aforementioned catch Covid 19 through a school return, look at the USA, Covid contaminating so many Uni's, Schools and colleges etc! Such a dangerous move Bojo!
Any parent listening to a known liar concerning the safety of their children should do the opposite
The father of 6, who did not acknowledgeed his fifth child, warns pupils' 'life chances' will suffer”
they think we are stupid, this has never been about the kids or Thier education or safety, it's always been about getting the parent workforce, who are not going to work, back into the workplace. Now and again they slip it out at the end in the hope you don't spot it.
Agreed. Now all we need is somebody in (sorry, with) authority to make this plea. Boris hasn’t had our respect or attention since he refused to sack Cummings.
This PM is a Putin Trump asset with leaning toward Third Reich weeding through races and peoples they deem unworthy to live camanpour alfranken KensingtonRoyal
Chances of being alive will suffer if they do. What does it matter anyway when the poorer kids will just be snubbed in favour of their rich peers because they have connections?
Unlike ballsing up their GCSE/A-Level grades when they are older will have no impact at all. The gall and general lack of awareness of plain ridiculous
Local comprehensive 1600 students plus staff. Local wedding 30 guests. 🤷♀️🤔
Horseshit. Everybody knows it's not what you know, it's who you know that affects your chances. Just ask Dido Harding.
Could argue that perhaps there was no real need to shut the schools anyway...
Replace the word 'school' with Eton.
It’s probably from the latest research showing that children are definitely drivers of infection and may have larger viral loads than first thought despite being asymptomatic or having mild symptoms.
Bet you wish you’d never closed the schools now don’t yo Boris?
They connect? Gee! Thanks, Mr PM! Now we can really have some fun. But an eager eye or willing ear would be a sad thing to waste, don't you think? And life is a process of continuous learning. So we can at least hope the kids have picked up on some of those skills. Right, Mr. PM?
Their life chances have already suffered because they no longer have the freedom to live, study or work in 27 other European countries.
Try this: get Chinese food, let the rice out of fridge for 1 day, then eat it. You will be sick. Because warm and wet environment is the best environment for bacteria. That’s what the mask is doing
I wouldn’t exactly look at BorisJohnson as credible evidence for this hypothesis.
Not convinced he cares about life chances does he? Could be wrong but ALL evidence points to the contrary currently. I thought our trusty Gov wasn’t planning for anyone to have life chances with what they have planned for us over the next 10 years. I could be wrong.
That is only right thing in what our prime minister is saying and it is right that our children need to get back to their education for them to look forward to a better understanding to a brighter future BorisJohnson 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The parents should know this... Shouldn't need any politicians to say this..
Why tf send them back to school and force them to wear masks? Come November, all of them will be sick or dying with lungs infection, not a virus but breathing in the bacteria’s on ghe mask
Parents have little or no choice as if they don’t send them they will get a fine, free country my ass
They shouldn't go back to school until all of the dead bodies that are littering our streets are cleared because of the ever so deadly errrrrr 'virus'
Funny how from March til July no mention if kids getting the virus but thats now all we are hearing? Coincidence? I don't think so..more control and fear over garbage!!!
