We're back to the full compliment on this week's Pubcast and what a show it is.
Kicking off we get into the winners and losers of the Labour reshuffle and what it tells us to expect from a Starmer government.
Then, we get into the latest crisis impacting the government, the collapsing concrete impacting thousands of schools across the country, and how well the Education Secretary is dealing with it.
We're also chatting national service, after the Onward think tank brought out a proposal to get young people to plug gaps in our creaking public services to gain a sense of ✨purpose✨ and ✨community✨... for free.

I'm not against the idea of community engagement in public services as part of societal education - walk a mile in a bin person's shoes and realise how important that job is! As long as it doesn't result in someone creaming all the profit off the top which it totally will, and that person will be a tory donor.

THERES NO MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN THIS COUNTRY IF YOU ARE NOT VIOLENT it’s criminal for starmer to take that away I have spent my childhood on waiting lists and in my adulthood had no help. Had to go private. Labour can crash and burn. We need a new left party

@joetrent4753 10 ай бұрын

Labour can crash and burn whilst the Tories keep on governing this country into the sewers? That's what you want? You might say we need a new left party but they would need to be electable for them to be of any real relevance and the chances of that for a new party are remote. Also you need the wider electorate to care about a left party. The wider electorate tend to want a party who can listen to their immediate concerns and don't really care where that party stands on the political spectrum. Ideology never wins elections. Just wanting a party aligned to the left simply isn't enough and is no guarantee of success.

@sethsergent9896 you know parties gravitate towards where they believe the votes are. If you think all the parties are looking pretty similar then that is, to an extent a reflection of society. But in this case I was specifically referring to the party that has spent the last 13 years proving its incompetence and lack of interest in the needs of the people. If you have one party you know sucks, and others you think may suck, but you fail to vote. Then you have only yourself to blame if the party you know sucks wins the next election and continues to screw you over.

It has come out that while Labour was warned about reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in 1999, 2002 and 2007 and did nothing, the Conservatives began an audit of English schools in March last year and are still waiting for responses from five per cent of local education authorities. They will never be given the benefit of the doubt over something like this, because of the way they are perceived right now. The Westminster Government is way ahead of the rest of the world in terms of identifying this problem and remedying it, and is also ahead of the devolved administrations, like Wales, which are only now waking up to it.

@joetrent4753 10 ай бұрын

Sunak also cut new schools and refurbishments to just 50 a year and haven't even reached that target. The Tories also watered down building regulations so even new build luxury houses aren't built to last. Also, if RAAC was known about in the 90's and as you say Labour did nothing, why didn't the Tories start doing something about it in 2010? Why wait until it is too late? Don't try to paint the Tories as the good guys.

@@dogglebird4430 But Labour had a schools rebuild scheme which would have meant we wouldn't have any collapsing schools now. The Tories in 2010 scrapped the scheme which would have rebult all RAAC schools by now. They scrapped a total of 735 rebuilds. At least 11 secondary schools with confirmed RAAC had proposed rebuilds scrapped when the Conservatives came into power a decade ago. Also we know how badly underfunded the education system has been under the Tories too. In light of this, the Tories doing an audit last year is just woeful and not anywhere near good enough. This is their mess due to total neglect and trying to pass the blame onto others.
