He's one of the few people who I've never heard anyone compliment that wasn't a Tory MP (even then, I can't think of any in particular who have)
Everybody I've come across has either never heard of him or knows he's utterly incompetent.
Personally I'm convinced he wants to leave a lasting impression as his legacy, which is why he keep proposing all these changes - he wants to be the man who saves Britain by getting the kids educated properly. While that's an admirable target, he has no idea how to do it, so just proposes changes to make it like it was in his day.
Him and Theresa May are, in my view, some of the worst cabinet members we've had in quite a while. That's taking into account Charles Clarke releasing more than a thousand foreign prisoners who should have been considered for deportation, an alarming number of these prisoners had served time for very serious crimes.
