One cannot think why...
BBC.
A quarter of a million extra school places will be needed in England by autumn 2014 to meet rising demand, the National Audit Office (NAO) is warning.Bit disingenuous of Labour as they're the ones who actually created the crisis, not the government as most of the rise is due to the number of immigrants having babies has doubled since 2001, largely driven by an influx of Polish, Pakistani and Indian mothers.
The spending watchdog said one in five primary schools in England was full or near capacity and there were signs of "real strain" on places.
The demand for places has been driven by the birth rate rising more quickly than at any time since the 1950s.
Ministers say 80,000 extra places have been created and demand will be met.
Schools minister David Laws said the government was "reversing completely idiotic policies" followed under Labour that had seen 200,000 school places cut.
Labour has denied the claim and accuses the coalition of creating a "crisis".
This has been the main reason behind an increase in the overall UK birth rate
to its highest level in decades, with 800,000 births in 2011, compared
with 670,000 in 2001.Take a wild stab in the dark as to which party was in power during those years...
Yes, Labours policy of uncontrolled immigration from the EU and the Indian sub-continent is now coming home to roost as the influx now makes itself felt in areas other than housing and jobs. Yet strangely the BBC fail to mention immigration or just who was in charge during the time the influx happened. Not that the coagulation have done much to cut the numbers, they talk a good game, but talk is cheap.
One could almost come to the conclusion that the BBC might have an institutional bias towards Labour, but that would be silly wouldn't it? You'll be telling me that they're stuffing the Question Time audience with Labour Activists next to try and get at anyone not toeing the BBC/Labour line...
Oh...

On a the last Time Team they dug at some prep school in Hertfordshire. What struck me was the imbalance in the ethnicity of the kids there.
And this is a prep school where cash changes hands in return for an education.
Makes one think...
I reckon he's a weather vane for if Balls thinks he stands a chance at dislodging Miliband.
Balls watches closely to see if Miliband will successfully defend himself and the party. If he shows any sign of weakness, Balls will have him out of the leader's office and make that an excuse to install himself in time for the next election.
Much the same applies in the Lib Dems, except we already know Clegg has lost; he hasn't got the guts to expel Ward. He has shown weakness and the pack will turn on him very soon.
