There are two races at the moment being heavily polled: Australia and Canada. Canada votes this Monday, Australia in a couple of weeks. Canada is more interesting, if for no other reason than the incumbents were losing by so far it wasn’t funny, but are now leading. The PM quit and the new bloke, Carney —who once ran the Bank

I wish I had the Minister's positivity around teaching. As you will have heard, we are short of teachers. We aren’t training as many teachers as we used to, so increasingly, we’ll need to bring more of them into the country. The Minister suggested—optimistically, I think—that it's about more than just pay. It's about resources and support, which I’m sure is true. But the question remain, does it solve anything? Does anything solve anything? Is teaching simply a profession —like so many others— that
