You're not actually going to believe this, but it's true.
Labour has released a video for their conference...all about what Kezia stands for now that she thinks she has the freedom to run Scottish Labour without interference from London. You know the stuff...who she is for, and whose side she is on and all that. New New Labour or something maybe or maybe not.
Anyway, if you can read the stuff which comes hurtling at you on the screen from different angles, and frankly I doubt that you will be able to get it all, you'll see that, as the daughter of two teachers, education is one of her top priorities.
Unfortunately ... You might also notice this!
Some time ago Kezia Dugdale trotted out some pretty dubious figures purporting to show how badly primary school leavers today read and wrote. As you can see from the link, the good Rev rapidly debunked them, but I am sure that the Record and the Hootsman, not to mention the BBC accepted them without much question.
Munguin has a suggestion for her.
Maybe she should start her crusade for better reading and writing skills with her own team. Most of them, of course would have completed their primary education in the days of direct rule from London, or at most under the leadership of the old Scottish Executive, but all that pooling and sharing doesn't seem to have done them much good!
Now, we are far from grammatically and orthographically perfect on Munguin's Republic. We'd be the first to admit it. But we are not putting ourselves forward as the next but one First Minister.
