Sadly Labour isn’t dropping all of its toxic policies – 42 days is now in its own ‘emergency bill’, secret inquests are going to be in a coroners bill. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a rebranding of Key Stage Three tests (probably in a Bill unrelated to education – counter-terrorism seems a favourite).

Well, indeed, that was my point :)
