Rehman deliver for 11+ parents?

Very odd that a number of comment posts on the Medway Messenger website come out in support of Rehman Chisthi.

Some would say very convenient indeed.

The simple and obvious fact is that this 11+ fiasco comes under the management of Councillor Les Wicks, who so happens to be a Conservative and Rainham colleague of no other than Rehman himself.

Les even campaigned for the election of Rehman on a ticket of competence in the General Election; both share the same platform of competence in education.

Now the MP for Gillingham is stuck in the middle

Grammar school parents represent a core vote for the MP who now occupies an uber marginal seat. So the MP needs all the positive comments he can get ... and so they appear.

With half his constituency party in arms at his parachute selection, we should all be watching closely to see if the MP has any credibility.

A credible MP would put the interests of parents first and call for the immediate resignation of Cllr Les Wicks, who has clearly failed to manage the education department. We have witnessed a huge number of fiasco's under his watch.

Will Rehman put the interests of parents above partisan affiliation and his political colleague and call for his resignation?

Don't hold your breath.
