You might think, “There are 12.7 million children in the UK, so that’s only one chess board per 127,000 children!” But! Chess is a two-player game, so the numbers are much better. https://t.co/1H7Oqk8cyI

Nothing against chess, I like to play when I can. But chess as social policy, with dedicated education spending, is exactly the sort of bullshit you expect from a billionaire tech loser as prime minister https://t.co/YLjASmr21j

The brilliant Josie Long had mixed feelings.
It's actually annoying that rishi sunak is coming out for maths and chess which are both great, because he is also a cunt.
