But why would she say that 3wks before spending review when the game is on - care is a ‘bleeding stump’ for ChX to see (unfortunately one of many). Also not sure huge difference in more council tax Vs income tax-or that being explicit will do anything other than make Labour more likely to lose.

Anyone who’s ever had any contact with the school or had a conversation with anyone who has. My point is, consciously or not, we all made a calculation that this culture was acceptable. A worthwhile trade off. But with today’s lens, it no longer feels that way.

Thanks- worrying but very helpful to have numbers on this. Could children leaving the country be in the mix? ie. Moving abroad and deregister from school but perhaps not GP straight away. Many families leaving London now…
