Of course no recognition in this writeup that (i) The SPG is a finite budget spread across different priorities (clue is in the name) (ii) As @IGMansfield notes - more for medical places, apprenticeships, and high-cost subjects. theguardian.com/education/2024…
A privilege to have worked with @halfon4harlowMP in government and he will be sorely missed there, and in Parliament. He does have more time to re-read LOTR now though :)

Whilst I’m very sad to see @NickGibbUK step down as Schools Minister, I wish him the best of luck with his plans to join the diplomatic service. Nick has worked with school leaders and teachers to transform millions of children’s lives for the better. Thank you, Nick.

Full fat coke and dad jokes. The Right Honourable @TomTugendhat. I’m so proud of the campaign, message, and legacy. The ethos of service and unity was infectious (and timely) and it influenced all around him. In that sense, he won. (Spoiler alert: he’ll be back!)
I fear the Conservative Party will come to regret not choosing @TomTugendhat. Honourable. Compassionate.Far-sighted.
I’m really proud to have run my friend @TomTugendhat’s campaign for Leader of the @Conservatives. In no time we stood up a stellar team of @S_Hammond @karenbradley @twocitiesnickie @JakeBerry @AaronBell4NUL @nickfaith82, Damien Moore, @guymiscampbell and many others 1/3
