Frank and Stan Chat No. 190

With Stan taking a couple of weeks away from the chat we are delighted to have Kendra Allen as the co-host. Kendra has been a longstanding follower of the weekly chat and has appeared on three separate occasions as a guest. The chat kicks off with Kendra discussing the level of abuse online that female politicians receive and why this makes it difficult for some to consider a career in politics. Frank then offers some insights into some appalling comments made about Angela Rayner and why he respects her life journey and her commitment to her home area. Kendra then rolls through the various party manifestos published this week and the lack of serious attention to education matters. Frank chips in with some thoughts on scorecards, the pride he felt when he realised 1 Angel Square, his former workplace, had been chosen as the launch venue for the Labour manifesto and the enjoyment he got from attending the Forum Strategy Symposium this week. All good stuff with a dose of light heartedness thrown in as well. Frank added later that on reflection he may have implied that Forum Strategy was responsible for the lack of ethnic diversity amongst senior trust leaders. This is far from the truth.
