Tory dogma leaves no choice
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
TONY BLAIR'S decision to send a child to a school in south London, of all places, speaks volumes. Not only does it suggest that the drift of Labour education policy will now be to "improve" on Tory education disasters, with predictable results, it also suggests what kind of party he wants Labour to be.
I went to a north London comprehensive school and while it did not teach me classics it did teach me how to enjoy living in the diverse and multi-cultural society that we are. In this sense Tony Blair's decision proves conclusively that he is not one of us.
