Brent Liberal Democrats and Sarah Teather MP never cease to amaze me with their blatent dishonesty. In a press release dated 20th August Sarah Teather MP has the chutzpah to blame the government for the shortage of school places in Brent.
Does she not remember that Brent is an Education Authority run by a coalition of Liberal Democrats and Tories? Does she not remember personally endorsing the Liberal Democrat councillors presiding over the school place shortage? Does she not remember that the Labour Government has given Brent some of the biggest rises in its Dedicated Schools Budget in the entire country?
Above all, does she not remember how her Liberal Democrat friends on Brent Council have deliberately delayed the provision of new school places for Brent. In 2006, a site had been identified for a new through school in Wembley. The options had been exhaustively examined by the Labour Administration in charge of Brent Council up to May 2006. Sarah Teather's Liberal Democrats teamed up with the Tories to have a "review." The review lasted more than a year. At the end of it, no new information had been discovered, and the Council went ahead on the site that had been identified in 2006. all that had been achieved was a year's delay in providing new school places.
Does Sarah Teather have no shame?
