There's something odd about this. If you found out that your (now adult) child had been abused like this, why would you turn to The Sun? And the perpetrator's employer?

The poor staff were run ragged, I remember, through the recovery haze, cursing Virginia Bottomley (MoH) and all her Tory cronies. So, yes, what a joy it was in 1997 when Labour could begin to put things right. Are we doomed to relive these cycles? Let's hope not ... (3)

It isn't just schools - travel to and from, school staff, deliveries, families inc. older and vulnerable adults are all affected, and the whole system needs to be planned, not just a bit of extra cleaning and bubbles in school premises.

Considering they only have to be in London 150 days p.a., they seem to claim high expenses. Why do they rent flats when it would be cheaper to stay in a Travelodge? My red wall MP has a flat in London, rents it out and rents a second one for himself.

I was an exchange student to the US in the 1960s. My host family had a great grandma born in the 1860s, who had travelled as a baby across the US in a covered wagon. She lived to see men on the moon.

A thought for Day 51. Why don't all the MPs who accepted cash from Russians pay it back? After all, acceptance likely makes them complicit in money laundering. What, don't tell me the greedy lot have already spent it on wallpaper and duck islands?

Hancock's cherry picking the data to fit the government's narrative. It suits them to deflect blame onto ordinary people. If Johnson had added India to the red travel list sooner, this surge would not have happened.

And, like every Tory Children's Minister in the past 12 years, his only qualification for having that role is that he was probably once a child himself. No wonder Children's Services and Early Years is in such a mess. So many scandals, the actual work never gets done.

And how is Matt Hancock now an expert in Bolton, where I live? Public Health says vaccine compliance is high here. Our infection rate is more than 10 times the national average. Think about that. Hancock should ask Johnson why he didn't put India on the red travel list earlier ..

And everyone said "Never again". And so, in the 40s, the welfare state was introduced, NHS, education to 16, benefits system, free at the point of delivery, paid for by Nat Ins contributions over a lifetime. What use is govt. if it doesn't look after its voters?

ITA was an interesting but misguided experiment. In the early 80s, we fostered a teenage girl who had learnt ITA and then been unable to make the switch to traditional. My guess is, it has probably affected the rest of her life.

Gosh, I'd forgotten that. Most people were paid weekly in cash and had to budget really carefully. Wool shops had big shelves full of bags of reserved wool. I also remember the local haberdasher's - you could pay weekly and she would "put it away" till it was paid for 😀

Virgin used to let people with rail cards travel at peak times. It filled the trains. Avanti has crazily long peak periods - 5.00am to 9.30 am. Any train after 7.30 gets to London too late to be regarded as a commuter train. A bit of lateral thinking needed
