Capital spending on education has been squeezed since 2010 as money has been redirected to healthcare.

“The Conservatives inherited just under £10bn a year in education capital sending in 2010, and have spent £5-6bn a year since then, in real terms. Part of those savings came from scrapping the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) project in 2010, which aimed to rebuild and refurbish every secondary school in England.”

    I fail to understand how this was a negative to the Tories. They inherited a system that was funded at a higher rate than anytime in the past, and they turned that well funded enterprise into a fiasco. The phrase “Couldn’t organise a P*** up in a brewery” comes to mind.
