According to the National Education Union’s polling of its members, 0% of them think Bridget Phillipson is doing a very good job as Education Secretary. The NEU is scathing about a politician who has gone out of her way to appease the unions…
A survey of over 4,000 members of the NEU was conducted by Deltapoll. 74% believe that Labour has done ‘quite badly’ or ‘very badly.’ Only 9% think Phillipson is doing well… 
Bridget is less popular than Keir – who has just resigned…
UPDATE: A Labour source responded to the NEU leadership: “For classroom teachers, Bridget has meant a near 10% pay rise in two years – she’s delivering a far better deal for them than teaching union leaders more interested in cuddling up to Zack Polanski than changing children’s lives.”
Asked by Lobby hacks about his past comments on Trump (“any UK politician who gave Trump the time of day should be ashamed right now”) Burnham was blithe:
“Politicians say things throughout their career, but now the important thing is to focus on the moment you are in.”
Were it so easy…
