DAN Kendrick wrote about Helen Donovan slamming MP Mike Foster's accusation regarding the shortage of finances in Worcestershire schools being down to the teachers' salaries.

He has completely ignored the fact that Worcestershire is second from the bottom for receiving Labour Government school grants.

Mr Foster is a yes-man to his boss. Perhaps he is afraid of losing his most lucrative job - which he may yet do if he puts Mr Blair before his constituents.
