Secretive legal committee buries ruling against Theresa May

"We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it" - John F Kennedy

Regular readers of Politics.co.uk will remember our report last month on the damning legal ruling on Theresa May's student deportations programme. It was thought then that the door could be opened to thousands of students returning to the UK but today we reveal how legal experts have been left stunned by the decision of a secretive legal committee that the ruling can not be cited in other appeals except under very strict conditions. 

And if you missed our coverage of PMQs, you can read it here. This week we decided to factcheck David Cameron's claim that academy schools do better than other locally maintained ones. The prime minister told the Commons yesterday that: "we support it because of the clear evidence of academies. If you look at converter academies, 88% of them are good or outstanding… the results are better". We took a closer look at the facts to see if he was right.
