That's interesting - and I think there's probably a similar "political" reaction to Katherine Birbalsingh at Michaela. In fact, as a maths person, one of the lasting legacies of Cummings' time in Government was meant to be extra funding for maths research (and easier ways of accessing it), though I think the devil's turned out to be in the detail.

Yeah, very similar to Birbalsingh. And Gove tbh, interesting that they all got something right about education. I wouldn’t want to go on a caravanning holiday with any of them, but I’m a bit suspicious of fellow lefties who wouldn’t want to go down the pub with them for an evening. (Or to a rave club, in Gove’s case.) How can you not be a little bit interested in how they’ve achieved the things they have, even if you don’t approve?
