SCHOOL campaigners will be walking into a firestorm when they visit Westminster on Tuesday.

Their only goal is to get Schools Minister David Miliband to accept the case for Worcestershire to be given improved funding, including the Area Cost Adjustment.

But Mr Miliband's mind may be elsewhere - the meeting takes place just hours before the crucial vote on controversial student "top-up" fees.

If the Government loses - I would not be brave enough to take a guess either way at the moment - heads could roll in the Education Department.

Still, the delegation could have picked a worse time to come - on Wednesday, Lord Hutton publishes the findings of his inquiry into the suicide of weapons expert Dr David Kelly.
