Lib Dems denounce ‘slur’ on our teachers
Outrageous comments by Reform leader
When interrupted by anti-racist protestors at a recent rally, Reform leader Nigel Farage shouted:
“That’s what you get, folks, when teaching unions in this country are poisoning the minds of young people, not just against Reform, but against everything this country has ever stood for. I’ll make it clear, when we’re in a position of power, we will go to war with these leftwing teaching unions and make sure our kids are taught properly.”
Lib Dem councillor Allan Brame responded: “Again Reform are showing their true colours. Wirral children are taught a balanced curriculum by dedicated teachers who care passionately about their wellbeing. The idea that our teachers are ‘poisoning the minds of young people’ is a disgusting and totally unjustifiable slur.”
According to their manifesto, Reform UK’s education policies include plans for a “patriotic” curriculum, tax relief of 20% on private schools and cuts to funding for universities “that undermine free speech”.
