Immigration and asylum are not the same thing. I know you will find this hard to understand so read it slowly. Asylum seekers have a right to have their claim processed and if it is rejected ( 50% are) they are deported. Immigration can be legal or illegal. Legal immigrants work and pay tax. Illegal immigrants work and contribute to the economy. Even Boris Johnson called for an amnesty for illegal immigrants in London when he was mayor in order to regularise their status because he recognised that London would grind to a halt if they were not contributing to the economy.

The level of determination and articulacy of Mrs Webber in seeking justice for her son and the other victims of the terrible crime in Nottingham in 2023 is simply remarkable. The public inquiry should result in concrete change to the benefit of society and will be vindication of the efforts of all the families affected by this tragedy. GMB has been very good in the way it has interviewed the relatives with sensitivity giving them the space to express their grief and concerns in their own words. It is shocking though not surprising it has taken the determination shown to force the authorities to address the issues via a public inquiry but the fortitude, resilience and persistence of the families deserves enormous credit.

It is a pity you cannot write a coherent sentence.

Nels was excellent in challenging Kwarteng this morning. Twice corrected him for mispronouncing his name.Good on him. Kwarteng should not be on GMB as he has no worthwhile insights and is not credible to say the least. His arrogance is appalling.

You could be learning Russian in a few short years. Money will need to be spent on Russian lessons which will present problems for many people in Britain who are not exactly keen on learninig foreign languages. The comparison with Iraq is nonsensical.

@arethereanyuniquehandles No, you have a literacy problem. It is Starmer not Stammer and there is a full stop at the end of a sentence. Obviously this is beyond your comprehension but the issue is the terms of any cessation to the fighting and how the peace is guaranteed. Next time write clearly and do not defend the indefensible- Trump is a Russian asset acting for Putin.

'Gareth Tucker' from Moscow. How's the weather?

Is that because you cannot abide the fact he knows what he is talking about, is excellent at explaining often complex issues in a very clear manner and has a grasp of detail most people do not? What exactly is your area of expertise?

Idiotic comment. You have missed the Peasants Revolt by several hundred years.

Tax the rich. There is plenty of money. The war machine is almost a bottomless pit when it comes to finding billions for war. Of course there is plenty of money for nationalisation. Rail nationalisation will pay for itself in about a decade.

I do not agree with many of its methods but the fact is the school has got excellent results and parents are falling over themselves to secure a place there. It is oversubscribed for a reason. There are over a hundred other high performing secondary schools in London so it is not the only one but in the context of some of the alternatives where the quality of education will not be as good, Michaela does a good job. Silent corridors and such like are not necessary but they should be calm and orderly, which is not the case in many schools. I am a socialist and opposed to academisation which has been a disaster for many reasons but the education establishment does not want to talk about behaviour in schools for the most part. If Michaela's results had been poor we would never have heard the end of it. The fact that there have not been large numbers of parents or former students going to the press to publicly criticise the school suggests that broadly those associated with it must be satisfied with the quality of education and the culture in the school.

@gilliandownend8414 Bear not bare. Ironic given you mention the Education Secretary.
2
On the contrary he is one of the contributors in the British media who is an effective communicator with principles he sticks to. I can see why this might upset a lot of people who are troubled by this, especially right wingers.

@ Dumb reply- well done.

@puclopuclik4108 Striking in line with the law is not missing work for no reason and is not a sackable offence.
2
@puclopuclik4108 No need to explain it to you.They are separate issues. Prior to recent strikes in education which were a last resort after years of pay decreases in real terms, there had not been strike action for decades. It sounds like you have a problem with anyone striking if you seriously think fines are appropriate. I would be worried about your reasoning skills if you think the issues are comparable. You are in a tiny minority if you think any sector should be fined for going on strike. Weird.

I would not use the reference to two jags- it was a right wing attack line to undermine Prescott and the left. He had a second hand jaguar that cost him £14,000 well before he had use of the ministerial one in government. I know these details are ignored but it is how the right works. You are right about the 2017 election. Prescott was superb in supporting Corbyn and true to socialist principles all his life. It is tragic he dies from Alzheimer's and perhaps all those who criticised his speech should reflect that just maybe there might have been a link between the two, as his speech in later years was noticeably different to when he was in his fifties and earlier. Alzheimer's has many symptoms and possible causes, of course.

@Gazz9000 Read this slowly Gazz. I understood the sentiment behind the sentence but it is does not make sense and was poorly written. Anything written should be literate. It does not matter whether it is on You Tube or in a newspaper, for example. I have also explained why it is nonsenical too. It should be possible for you to grasp this as long as you take it slowly. No need for capital letters Gazz.

Labour is Thatcherism. Widening inequality is here to stay without the reversal of neoliberalism. The Labour right is in the service of the rich. When over 44,000 teachers of working age left in each of the last two years there will not be over 6000 new teachers.

Can you act? Panto pays well. You should try it.

Good point well made.

@montanasharif Private schools have had longer holidays for decades and well before holidays became expensive. There would be uproar if the holidays were longer for state schools. Fundamentally, parents want to impose their will on schools in many cases. If it is not term time absence it is something else, which is why education is falling apart. Brace yourself for the type of society this is creating. It is here already and will be even worse in ten years.

@militarymummymackin Bad attitude. Shocking.

@justsayin4017 Mainstream unless you are referring to a main stream somewhere. Where is it?

I hope I win a prize for being one of the few viewers likely to see your comment on an interview that is five months old! Phillipson is unlikley to be Education Secretary after the next reshuffle. Her cold, robotic manner suggests she does not have the skill set or gravitas necessary to work with different stakeholders. Education is in total free fall with a raft of systemic issues. She is not a high calibre minister and will be replaced by someone who is up to the job before long.

@LMC5690 For many Brit pop bands it was a key part of the look for some reason.

@ Only someone hard of understanding like you would reach such a conclusion. If you listen he is often critical of Labour and has been consistent in this. Pay attention.

@puclopuclik4108 Fined for going on strike. What planet are on ? Just remember your appalling attitude when your employer treats you badly with conditions of service. Do not complain, accept it.

@puclopuclik4108 No-one works without pay and everyone should be paid properly. Withdrawing labour is a last resort and done reluctantly. Large numbers of teachers do not strike mainly ecause they are afraid of management. The threshold for strike action is high due to the most stringent anti trade union legislation in Europe. Poor pay is one of the drivers of the recruitment and retention crisis. Nearly 90,000 teachers of working age have left education in the last two years. The next set of figures in a few months will be similar. Bad attitudes by parents over many issues are one of the reasons alongside pay. Teachers who strike are concerned about their pay like anyone who has ever gone on strike in history. Losing pay is the price of striking because the employer ( the Independent Pay Review Body in education, though no one really believes it is truly independent of government) will not pay a fair wage over time. Most of those who go on strike are also very concerned about the state of education; the strikes were not just about pay. Many schools are having to employ people they would rather not due to the decrease in calibre because of the shortage of teachers in most subjects. If the country wants a high quality education service it has to pay teachers properly. I understand that many families struggle financially and think it is a disgrace that everyone cannot afford holidays and other luxuries that make life better and less of a grind. The joy should not be confined to the rich. The average family in France and Germany is about £8,000 better off than in Britain. That is because the UK economy is run for the rich which is not going to change as income inequality widens further. The cost of living crisis is misnamed; it is caused by the greed of business and the rich. More wants more. It is wrong but Britain is a society where everything is a rip off because the majority are being exploited by the minority who pull the strings. I understand and empathise with the financial predicament facing families and think fines will not work ( unenforceable potentially, unfair by penalising poor families who cannot pay and no deterrent to those who will just pay the fine and not care about the amount as they can afford it) but there are too many parents undermining schools right left and centre, which goes way beyond the holiday issue. There is no answer to the problem as it would have been resolved otherwise. Pay everyone better and not just the rich and people can afford holidays notwithstanding the fact they should not be ripped off anyway. Government could lean on holiday companies if it wanted to but wild west capitalism dictates that the market must maximise profits at the expense of fairness.

@puclopuclik4108 Ludicrous. I wrote a considered reply that was deleted by You Tube. I do not know if you read it. End of discussion.
