Shadow education secretary Laura Trott wrote to Commons leader Lucy Powell yesterday to ask if Starmer would correct the record after misleading the House. He claimed at PMQs that Labour had put down an amendment to fix the botched provisions of its Education Bill on teacher pay. Such an amendment still does not exist…
Starmer has duly been forced to correct the record after misleading the House:
The PM has submitted a correction and Hansard now reads that the amendment was announced, not tabled. Bridget’s becoming a bit more than a nuisance for Downing Street…
UPDATE: Labour has now published the amendment.
Speaking at his speech on how to achieve “progressive capitalism” Wes Streeting fired a dig and Andy Burnham:
“Bond markets are not bond villains and fiscal rules matter.”
