Unity Howard: New sponsors. Targeted investment. Building talent. The next steps for school reform.

Furthermore, further education (FE) is another pressing concern for new Tory voters.

Rachel Wolf: Where education reform has succeeded – and where it has failed

The parents we have most consistently let down are those we have not empowered to demand more for their children. That must change.

Neil O’Brien: Stormzy, “niggas”, “bitches” – and scholarships. Do we really want to fund racial groups?

Collecting statistics on people’s self-identified racial background is one thing.  Having ringfenced funding for one racial group is quite another.

Adrian Mason: Why should non-Labour North Wales be the prisoner of the socialist monopoly in South Wales?

What has been the Conservative Party ‘s response at Westminster to this situation? Incredibly, it has been to offer Wales even more devolution.

David Davis: How to keep the new working class voters we won last Thursday – and win even more

In 2017, 51 MPs were returned with majorities of less than a thousand. That’s 51 results potentially determined by an extra hour on the doorstep,

The campaign, week five. Johnson holds his ground – and aims to end next week where he began. With getting Brexit done.

Our nagging worry is: what about voters who may not want to get Brexit done, but are nonetheless apprehensive about Corbyn and John McDonnell’s tax plans?

Wales is the only home country to be below the OECD average in reading, maths, and science.

John Bald: Tolerating poor behaviour in schools is a major threat to the mental health of teachers
