How nice it must be for Ruth Kelly to be able to afford to move to one of the poshest areas of London fresh off her career as an MP finishing so that her kids can go to one of the best state schools in the country. That's not being cynical, she took one of her sons out of state education for elite £15,000a year schooling so past form dictates that this is a cynical move-around from Kelly.
It astounds me how people like Ruth Kelly can live with themselves. They spend their whole lives trying to convince people that state education in Britain is improving under Labour, while sending their kids to private or the elite of state schools. The amount of Labour MPs who have got to where they are thanks to the grammar school system and not spend their lives denouncing it as "elitist" is the height of hypocrisy when they condemn millions of kids to an education they would never let their own children experience.

If state schools are really so egalitarian, why do they have league tables for them?
