It seems that I have hit a nerve, Minister, but here is some truth: SEN kids are being failed and schools are crumbling on your watch; you have lost a court case against the integrated education movement; and you continue to spin things to suit your own case. Is it not the truth, Minister, that you have treated the Department of Education like your personal fiefdom, pushing through divisive change without consensus, ignoring consultation responses and leaving parents, teachers and pupils to deal with the fallout? When will you start governing for the whole system rather than for your own narrow agenda?
