When are you going to start supporting the local schools?

We do support local schools.

If you are aiming that comment at me personally I put in more than 25 years of hard work as a governor of various schools, including one in Copeland.

If you are aiming it at Copeland Conservatives in general I would point out that Trudy Harrison MP worked hard and successfully with the parents action group to get Whitehaven Academy sorted out and replace Bright Tribe after they failed to live up to the promises made when they were brought in.

If you are aiming it at the government, they have listened to the concerns of schools about the funding formula and ensured that total government support for schools has been protected in real terms - another £400 million was given to schools in the Autumn statement.
