Labour to cynically use education policy for narrow party advantage

So what does Gordon Brown do - now he's bottled getting an elected mandate from anyone ?

Well its to use the machine of government to try to achieve narrow party advantage.

This story makes the top headline on Labour Home right now - which supports the idea that its a political move. ( Hardly a mention of the cowardice of Gordon Brown - but you wouldn't expect that from them would you):

Grammar Schools back on the political agenda.

It refers to a piece in today's Sunday Times that includes the following:

Knight’s move will be seen as an attempt partly to appease the Labour left and partly as a ploy to reopen a split in the Tory party over selection that emerged this summer. David Willetts, then shadow education secretary, said the 11-plus exam “entrenches advantage”.

So here we see government ministers spending their time thinking about political campaigning, not doing the job we pay them a very large amount of money to do . Its a blatant attempt to change the media's agenda to try and gain party advantage, rather than doing their job.

Gordon's back - running the country for his own personal benefit. Maybe he helps organise some of this on the private mobile phone he has insisted on having. ( Which in itself raises great questions about the leader of the country being under external influences that no one in the civil service may know about. ) What does he need such a phone for - except to have conversations a record of which would reflect badly upon him ?

Labour are beneath contempt. An opinion that is at long last beginning to spread across the country.
