Not a bad philosophical start

I agree with this post and with these 2 minutes from twitter:

(For info -the Baroness of Yardley was the previous Labour Education Secretary, Estelle Morris.)

Jess Phillips is often criticised for her lack of philosophy, and a Tory-like failure of systematic reasoning.

This is her at her best – emotional engagement with people’s needs.

And that’s certainly not a bad philosophical start…

    Thanks, Peter. Always good to have one’s prejudices called into question.

    Here’s what I posted in response to the tweet you featured:

    Very well done! Have to give it to her – authentic Labour mix of passion, principles and evidence. Only criticism – Estelle Morris (easily my favourite EdSec) resigned as SoS more because she couldn’t work within Blair’s parameters than because she felt she wasn’t up to it.

    1. Peter May -

      Didn’t realise that….
      I agree – I always though Estelle Morris was very good
