More of our children would end up in secondary modern schools if Reform form the next government.

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost
Exhibit 2, today:
"Wall Street hit by UK mortgage lender collapse, raising fears of more credit ‘cockroaches’"

This is not '“too many graduates” but... weak skills utilisation – the economy doesn’t generate enough roles, workplaces & progression structures that actually deploy higher-level skills...
You can’t deregulate your way out of this. You need to actually create the jobs".

Under a #Reform government, anyone with 3 kids will have to be absolutely sure that nothing will cause their income to drop so low that they need social security support, at any point, until that child can support themselves: Not a pandemic, a Truss-style budget, losing your job to AI...
