GB News: 'A piece of vandalism!' Tory MP furiously blasts education Bill: 'So depressing'
Shadow Education Minister Neil O'Brien criticized Labour's Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill as "a piece of vandalism," arguing it undermines decades of educational reforms. He highlighted concerns from education leaders about the bill's potential impact on school freedoms and accountability.
