Tories say Burnham's local schools plan clashes with Labour's own law

Andy Burnham wants local mayors and employers to design job-training courses, not central government. Conservatives say this clashes with Labour's 2026 Schools Act, which pulls school oversight, admissions, and teacher pay toward Westminster. No 10 backed Burnham with a lengthy release and 20 endorsements. The Tories have yet to detail their objections.
