Education, education, education' was how Tony Blair set out New Labour's priorities in the early noughties.
A quarter of a century on, what story is Keir Starmer trying to tell about schools under his premiership?
In this episode, Sam and Anne are joined by Laura McInerney, a former teacher and co-founder of Teacher Tapp, to break down the government's plan for education as we head into a new school year.
They ask:
• What will be included in the education white paper?
• Can there be further devolution within the education system?
• Will Bridget Phillipson remain as the education secretary?
Sam and Anne are getting a lie-in over summer recess, but they'll be in your feed with special episodes every Monday before normal services resumes on 1 September.
