Reading between the lines of a recent tweet by MC and certain mumbling's heard on the terraces it seems nothing is going to happen until serious action is taken against certain parties....I hope I'm wrong!

TrinityIHC - the link you've posted only refers to schools run by the Wakefield City Academies Trust not all schools. Based on their last OFSTED reports the majority of schools in Wakefield were good or outstanding. Don't get me started on Academy Trusts - but the rest of your post I agreed with!

Yes all these so called wonderful schemes funded by our own money redirected by the unelected ,unaccountable eu,the people of Wakefield voted 60% leave Mary creagh should vote and follow these wishes if she doesn't like it the former eu intern should resign.anyway thought this was a rl forum

Im not sure this forum is the best place for such a political subject.
However, Mary Creagh's views on the EU have been very clear for some time and there was a campaign to oust her as Labour candidate.
In spite of her views or, maybe because of them, she was retained her seat at the last election.
Maybe enough Labour voters decided that her views were ok, the election result would certainly seem to confirm this.
