TONY BURKE surveys the shifting political landscape and the challenges Labour needs to address if it is to prevail in the 2028 federal elections
THIS year’s NASUWT conference is coming at an important time — where the possibility of a ballot is looming, where our right to strike is under attack from the draconian laws of the Conservative government and in a year where an election with a change in government is possible.
During our conference this weekend, there will most likely be a mention of a change in government, and enthusiasm for it met with claps and cheers. I don’t blame my colleagues for rejoicing because the 14 years of austerity have done unspeakable damage to the families of the children that we teach and to the profession itself, among other things.
However, I urge my fellow young teachers to not rejoice if Keir Starmer does become Prime Minister because has shown his fallibility through his lies, U-turns and blatant contempt for British working people.
