Going well innit. Wonder if Sue Gray will get a golden goodbye as well as a golden hello to her newly created please don't spill the beans role.

Sue Gray has resigned and Starmer has given her another job as Envoy for Nations and regions. What the heck is that.. It is however subject to her telling him what salary she wants and confirmation that her sons job is safe

I hear that it is an arrangement that has been thrashed out that creates a ‘complete-non job’ that (i) saves face for Gray and (ii) gets her out of Downing Street where nobody apart from Starmer can stand her, and off to Edinburgh / Cardiff etc.

It is expected that her retirement to be announced around March 31st next year.

Who’s paying that wage? And when will we see the Dominic Cummings report in her tenure?

So the honorable prime minister had an Uncle almost killed by a torpedo that hit his ship in the Falklands. I wasn't aware his uncle was on the Belgrano ?.

He meant ‘Bombed’ he also meant ‘ Hostages too, am i right in thinking he’s a Barrister by trade?

Can you imagine him defending Patrick Magee, “My client didn’t mean to Torpedo the Grand Hotel and take life, his plan was to take Sausage’s”

The IFS has said the wicked witch needs to raise £16bn to meet manifesto promises. Everything was fully costed though I believe was the mantra so no doubt she has it covered.

Torpedoed uncle or bombed uncle - amounts to the same thing I guess, we can let him have that. Although I think if I had decided to line up that line I'd have at least checked the detail.
Sausages or Hostages - struggling with that one, dear oh dear. Embarassing.
Maintaining strategic British outposts or just giving them away because his mate said that was a good idea - not good.
Making a stance against the perception of MPs by refusing all gifts/freebies/hospitality etc or just creaming it and getting all he can - massive drop of the old danglies.
Treating pensioners who have paid tax all their lives respectably or taking away their heating. Disgraceful.

What have I missed?

According to the article all the things that band make Britain great are being ruined by Labour. I'm sure the general population would put millionaires and private schools very high on that list
I am aware of numerous non-millionaires sacrificing and scraping to get their kids through private education. Now less will be able to afford that route, and the divide will get bigger with only the super rich affording it. The chances of class gaps receding as normal working folk enjoy this facility through hard graft is becoming less likely with this short sighted fiasco.

But according to the article aren't all the really rich people leaving the country? So the divide will shrink and the private schools will have to reduce fees .

They're going after the state schools as well. There appears to be strong support for closing academies, for the same reason as they closed grammar schools - because they think it's better that everyone's education is equally poor rather than some have poor education and some have good.

Funnily enough, for all their support of comprehensive education, Labour have never had a PM educated at a comprehensive school. The Tories have, but Liz Truss is hardly the poster child for that sort of background. Perhaps the reason Labour leaders have always been so keen to pull up the drawbridge, to prevent other people's children having the advantages they had, is to avoid challenge from people as well educated as they are?
