Another day, another cock up from Nicky Morgan. The Department for Education’s official Twitter feed has hastily deleted a message stating:-
Doh! As plenty of social media users were quick to point out, equal rights for all people – regardless of who they bed – should probably be covered by ‘British values’, not least in the eyes of the British government. Cue another hasty backpedal. It gave some ammo to the Liberal Democrats:-
Tolerance & enlightenment are key parts of our education system. That @educationgovuk tweet is unacceptable. Will be raising with ministers

Morgan has tried to keep a low profile so far – but it’s not low enough. It’s now clear to everyone (Mr S suspects to her especially) that she is hopelessly miscast.
