:00:09. > :00:11.?1.3 billion over the next two years.
:00:12. > :00:21.The money will come from the existing education budget,
:00:22. > :00:23.including from funds set aside for free schools, a flagship
:00:24. > :00:26.The additional funding I'm setting out today,
:00:27. > :00:28.together with the introduction of a national funding formula,
:00:29. > :00:30.will provide schools with the investment they need
:00:31. > :00:36.to offer a world class education to every single child.
:00:37. > :00:39.It's a step in the right direction and we're pleased that the
:00:40. > :00:42.government now agrees with us, but this seems to us more of a
:00:43. > :00:47.short-term fix rather than full remedy.

:00:50. > :00:59.The route of the new HS2 rail line north of Birmingham has been

:02:54. > :02:55.of ?2.6 billion more over the next two years
:02:56. > :03:02.We recognise that at the election people were concerned about
:03:03. > :03:07.the overall level of funding in schools, as well as its
:03:08. > :03:11.And as the Prime Minister said, we are determined to listen.
:03:12. > :03:16.That is why today I am confirming our plans to get on with
:03:17. > :03:19.introducing a national funding formula in 2018-19, and I can
:03:20. > :03:23.announce this will additionally now be supported by significant extra
:03:24. > :03:32.investment into the core schools budget over the next two years.
:03:33. > :03:35.Astoundingly, this has all been funded without a penny of new money
:03:36. > :03:45.Perhaps the Chancellor did not want to fund
:03:46. > :03:50.schools and thought that teachers and teaching assistants
:03:51. > :03:52.are simply more overpaid public servants.
:03:53. > :03:55.School spending will rise from ?41 billion this year to ?43.5
:03:56. > :04:00.And no secondary school pupil will have less than
:04:01. > :04:05.?4800 spent on their schooling each year.
:04:06. > :04:11.?2.6 billion sounds like a lot of money, but when rising costs,
:04:12. > :04:13.teachers' pensions and pay are taken into account,
:04:14. > :04:16.it amounts to a freeze over the next two years.
:04:17. > :04:18.The devil will be in the detail and as I
:04:19. > :04:23.understand it, it is not new money from the Treasury, but from other
:04:24. > :04:25.parts of the education budget, so we will have
:04:26. > :04:29.From a school 's point of view, that is welcome.
:04:30. > :04:31.Only yesterday hundreds of parents, teachers
:04:32. > :04:33.and children staged a protest at Westminster.
:04:34. > :04:38.Finding the money has come at a political cost
:04:39. > :04:46.to ministers, who have had to raid the pot of money set aside for free
:04:47. > :04:55.Schools, a flagship Conservative policy. The scale of public anger
:04:56. > :04:59.over school cuts is unprecedented. In recent times. Parents staging
:05:00. > :05:02.marches and protests, headteachers writing hundreds of letters to
:05:03. > :05:07.politicians expressing their frustration. All of which is
:05:08. > :05:11.focusing ministers' minds. Schools have had to make serious cuts, and
:05:12. > :05:15.it's not clear that the money announced they will be enough to
:05:16. > :05:17.offer much hope to those schools. But it's a step in the right
:05:18. > :05:20.direction and we are pleased the government now agrees with us, but
:05:21. > :05:27.it seems to us more of a short-term fix. This new multi-billion pound
:05:28. > :05:30.investment in schools is not short change, but as yet it's unclear
:05:31. > :05:33.whether it will be enough to see off angry parents and frustrated

:06:37. > :06:40.The fact HS2 trains are now likely to stop in the centre of Sheffield
:06:41. > :06:42.is bad news for everybody here on this estate

:13:12. > :13:17.indelicately, telling them to put a sock in it. But she is clearly
:13:18. > :13:19.trying to get a grip back on things. The former Prime Minister David
:13:20. > :13:26.Cameron was actually visiting number ten today to trade tips on how best

:13:36. > :13:39.seem then inevitable she would make it this far. Now just days before
:13:40. > :13:42.Parliament breaks up for the Sam Allardyce, some of her colleagues
:13:43. > :13:46.believe she is not through the worst, but has certainly made a

:13:54. > :13:58.the job makes it more likely she will be able to stay on, not just
:13:59. > :14:04.for a few months, but perhaps for another couple of years. But, as
:14:05. > :14:08.anyone around here will tell you, it's far harder to rebuild
