Read our privacy policy Simon Pegg has shared a furious response to Rishi Sunak’s plan to make pupils study Maths until the age of 18. “So Rishi Sunak, our unmandated, unelected prime minister twice removed, has decided it should be compulsory for children to learn Maths up until the age of 18 – what a pr***,” he said. F*** you, Rishi Sunak, and f*** the Tories.” Sunak’s plan, which is currently just an ambition, would not be implemented until after the next general election, which the Tories are projected to lose to Labour. Rishi Sunak No 10 says further details will be set out in due course, but that Sunak’s plan is intended to raise UK standards to meet those of similar nations as well as to boost people’s financial literacy.
