“Remember the phrase "The Lady is not for turning"?
Gove is determined to drive this through, he is NOT for turning, as he wants LA's castrated before the co-alition is thrown out.
Once the LA's have lost control of the purse strings, they are impotent.
The Conservatives want the funding in the hands of the schools, with NO top slicing by an LA.”
