I really don't see the appeal of Badenoch. She's very Truss like, in that she seems to have bullet proof self confidence, but isn't actually very good at anything

Forum Strategy have produced a third system leadership paper - about the challenge of teacher retention which you can see here: forumstrategy.org/system-leade...schoolsweek.co.uk/a-system-wid...

That's not to say Harris will win, or continue performing well, but she has a good chance, which Biden definitely did not have.

I think in her case it's not just the polls going up - it's the positivity (or maybe more accurately relief) that Biden isn't continuing. It's helped press coverage, and the Dems have united behind her.

The problem Trump has, is that while it's close, he seems to have maxxed out his support level, where as Harris has momentum and a higher ceiling. They really need her to fall away.

Made same offer some time ago on the other place, but if you are teaching econ/politics/maths in a state school, and will pay my train/taxi, I will come and do a talk for your kids for free. If you are private I'll do one for a fee donated to a state school/charity.
