Except in some schools, where they do have to.  I’m expecting a policy update in the next couple of days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Meanwhile, Johnson has appointed a personal trainer to support his fitness regime. The trainer says his training "considers the mind as much as the body".  As Basil Fawlty remarked about a guest in his hotel: "There's enough material there for an entire conference."
