The first thing to do if you really want to tackle the 'anti-maths mindset', Mr Sunak, is stop the regular and egregious misuse of statistics by your ministers and MPs. Respect maths yourself. https://t.co/1m9uq2hjKk

The economy is in terrible shape because of austerity, Brexit, Liz Truss’ recklessly dangerous ‘mini budget’ & 13 years of other terrible tory decisions.
Yet PM wants us to believe it’s because *checks notes* we’re not good enough at maths. pic.twitter.com/x8PzfPinfs

maths like “if the tories get 42% of the vote, what percentage of seats should they have in parliament?” or maths like “if i get a 2% pay rise but inflation is 10%, how much more of this shit does it take before a general strike?” https://t.co/FOFQjuu9zz

It was under a Tory government that we didn't have a proper maths teacher for over a year, screwing over everyone's GCSEs and putting most of them off maths. Rishi Sunak can fuck right off. https://t.co/gVjCQ2F97Y

When I was 17 I happily spent every night learning my times tables.
Today’s youth are more interested in going out in jeggings,smoking skunk & feasting on nuggets.
Sadly most of their teachers are the same.
If we want more Maths,we need to bring back the cane & Grammar Schools!🇬🇧 pic.twitter.com/Q7vDwb7s2m— Sir Michael Take CBE (@MichaelTakeMP) April 17, 2023

Smell that? That's the smell of every government minister breaking out into a sweat because Sunak just guaranteed they'll be given a maths test in every interview this week. pic.twitter.com/XtZ2qUzi2c

This whole learning maths until 18 thing excludes television channels with a person's name, right?!
