    Wow, Jennie Lee and Nye Bevan - now that's a relationship with a pretty epic dynasty. (Drivers behind the Open University and the National Health Service respectively).

    A current Labour policy is for the creation of a National Education Service, seeing education as a lifelong right rather than a commodity you pay for. Issues with 'national' / 'state' anything aside, putting an emphasis on socialised education again is great.

      @neil the OU is a gem even for some of us outside the UK!

      My spouse wouldn't have been able to continue her education in the US without it (most public universities where we live do not let you take a second undergraduate so if you want to switch career, tough luck)
