Shami Chakrobati now Shadow Attorney General in Corbyn reshuffle

Shami being in the lords and the shadow cabinet, both are a disgrace,

Can't comment on Essex man sorry, no idea which part if England is .essex

The Board of Deputie's of British Jews slammed Shami Chakrabartis probe into anti semitism in labour as a 'job application' for her place in the shadow cabinet.

If it's so awful to be left ( in a room?) with Essex man, how come here in Southend, the spiritual home of Essex man we have not one but three of the best grammar schools in the country? Confused of Southend here

Jen, you obsession with Corbyn is worrying, where did I say i was pleased? And I do expect an answer to this question, it is so wrong to post a lie

Why are you pleased when Labour lose? Why haven't you put on the seats that Labour won?

That's Bolton where it gained over 75% of the votes.

Haringey, where it increased its share by 12.3%

Did you miss the two in Caerphilly, which Labour kept?

Labour lost three council bi election seats yesterday

Hatlepool to UKIP

Glasgow to SNP

Highland to Libs

So no gains for the Tories and three loses for Labour

Why should it be named anything else? Would some people like to call it a 'secondary modern' because some pupils in the area are educated in a grammar school or private school because their parents wanted them to take the entrance examinations for those schools?

It is a comprehensive school:
A comprehensive school is a secondary school or middle school that is a state school and does not select its intake on the basis of academic achievement or aptitude. This is in contrast to the selective school system, where admission is restricted on the basis of selection criteria.

Nowhere does the definition state that it should be the only school in the area catering for all pupils.

It takes pupils of all abilities and its results reflect that.

Whatever it is, some pupils got outstanding results.

And presumably, as a comprehensive, they geared the education to the needs of all.

Just because you call it a comprehensive doesn't mean it is one. The clue is in the meaning of the word
Comprehensive-relating to or denoting a system of secondary education in which children of all abilities from a particular area are educated in one school.
A grammar school means some children aren't there, calling it a comprehensive is a misnomer.

I don't really see why not though durhamjen because some of the population may not agree with selective and private education so pupils at the comprehensive school may be fully comprehensive.
we also have a comprehensive school here in Newport and they got amazing results this year. It is all down to teachers in the end.

It doesn't follow that everyone puts their child in for the 11+ or private education.
With such a small population the schools must attract pupils from a very wide area to be viable.

Sorry, yorkshiregel, you can't have all those other schools AND a comprehensive school. It's just not possible.

Abbot recently gave an interview , sorry cannot remember in which country, she said she had hosted a successful political programme for many years , the programme was ? The Andrew Neil programme after Newsnight ! He was rather amused

It is getting better all the time Jalima although we have lost the charming little shops in St Mary street. We are in the process of increasing the housing in the town at the moment so lots of houses being built for newcomers and children of the town as well. We had a massive turnout for the Olympic Flame parade, the town was heaving, we also celebrate St George's Day too and it makes your heart swell with pride on Remembrance Day when the school CCF and the ATC march ahead of the procession down the High Street to the Church. Flags everywhere! It may be a small town, but even Queen Victoria paid us a visit.

I have a dear friend who rambles a bit like that, I am fond of her but she leaves me very

Not that I am in any way fond of DA, although I used to quite enjoy watching her and Michael Portillo together on that Andrew thingy programme after Question Time.

I'm ramblling now too .... it must be catching

Exactly, I do it myself sometimes, but I am not in Government so it doesn't matter. She is and does not give a good impression when she goes rambling off on other topics. You are left with the feeling of 'what is she on about now?' Not good for a politician who is representing her Party/Country.

And it is still a small and pleasant town I expect

I must pay another visit next time I am up that way.

I am beginning to realise how fortunate children in Newport Shropshire really are. We have several nurseries and pre-schools, state jnr schools, private schools, private prep schools, a girl's academy/high school, a comprehensive school, a grammar school and even a fantastic agricultural university all in the same town.

Well we all do that Yorkshire .. but then it doesn't matter as I'm not in a position of power....but then neither is DA nor likely to be at this rate...I'm rambling aren't I ....just like her

Am I the only person on this thread who does not like Mr Corbyn's choice of Cabinet members? Diana Abbot being made Shadow Home Secretary for one example. She starts a sentence and then forgets what she started out to say.

I don't understand Jalima. Corbyn does not want grammar schools. I don't want grammar schools.
We don't want them because you cannot have grammar schools and comprehensives.
What's wrong with that? Quite simple really.^

Precisely! Just what I said too.

Nor faith schools.

Corbyn left Adams with two A levels, both at grade E, and an enduring hatred of selective education.

I am still interested to know what good works he did for Newport

Unless it was his parents, they were politically active.
