🚨 THE NEW CABINET 🚨 The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has appointed his cabinet. This new cabinet marks a historic moment in British politics, with a record number of state-educated Ministers and the lowest proportion of privately educated Ministers since 1945 🧵👇

@IanPhillips2454 @DiLeed Biggest lesson from TF. Pay people while they train to teach; don’t expect then to accrue further student debt. Much of its popularity with applicants is ( unsurprisingly ) this.
