jobs, this is at a school in wandsworth. in wandsworth. i only slightly sort of flippant remark there is is it a non— brexit story? because we are just ignoring all these really important things are going on in society, the terrible problem with homelessness, the disastrous effects of the austerity programme, and this is a very good example, a story that in any other era would have been very much front and centre, i commend the observer for pointing it out. teachers in south london are volunteering to ta ke south london are volunteering to take a south london are volunteering to takea £7,000 south london are volunteering to take a £7,000 pay cut to save their colleagues's jobs, i mean take a £7,000 pay cut to save their colleagues'sjobs, i mean what take a £7,000 pay cut to save their colleagues's jobs, i mean what sort of state has this country got to? and these are classroom assistants who are helping children with special educational needs, who need extra help within the classroom and as well as this, we are seeing school

i think it is five teachers in one school in wandsworth.ly trying to keep the jobs of two classroom assistants. it is a reminder as well that when theresa may said in november that austerity was over what she meant to sit would not be further cuts but the cuts that had happened so far that were ruining a lot of schools and really making public services, cut them to the bone, still existed but itjust meant there would not be further cuts. some of the cuts were yet to be felt, and this was on top of schools in the west midlands who are not staying open for the full five days. a number of schools in birmingham and the wider west midlands now are closing for all of friday or friday afternoon which plays havoc for working parents. but it's also a dereliction of the government's duty, if you have got one job as a government it is to educate the people and make sure that future generations are well informed and able to get good jobs, and if you are having to close schools, you are massively failing in that particularjob. that's it for the papers t
