Blair didn't get everything right and I appreciate this has been catastrophic for the NHS. I think academies have had a similar effect on education. But, he improved both schools and NHS services at the time. No doubt.

Well Academies were down to Gove who seemed to take delight in changing the curriculum every few months 🙄

Blair introduced academies. Gove morphed the idea into something that is essentially a stealth privatisation of schools.

I wasn’t keen then, but hated (as I always do) everything Gove did and said. Especially at Education - which was mostly Cummings anyway.

He ruined education. It's broken. It needs radical reform but most teachers don't want to be teachers any more, so that's an almost impossible task as this government has gone straight back to the Tories' old ways. 🙄

PFI was a Tory policy that was hatched by Major in 1992. It's true that Blair did expand it massively.
