The bank-holiday weekend has obviously taken its toll over at the Guardian – it seems they have taken to recycling old stories. Their splash that Gove directed money to the New School Network in order to aid the free school program sounds very familiar…

The NSN charity was set up by Rachel Wolf, a former Gove adviser and housed his current SpAd Dominic Cummings when Coulson initially vetoed his appointment in May 2010. It’s all very cosy, but as Paul Waugh points out, the Guardian already reported the half a million taxpayer bung to the charity back in October. As the first free schools prepare to open their doors, are the Guardian’s going to just rehash all of their stories about them as a last ditch fight?
