The blame for the school concrete scandal has landed right at the Prime Minister's feet - after a former civil servant from the Department for Education revealed it was Chancellor Sunak that cut the funding for rebuilding schools five years ago.
But it's his Education Secretary - Gillian Keegan - who's conducting the political heat today after a sweary off-mic rant which she is almost certainly now regretting. In fact she gave a subsequent apology ON mic.
The News Agents are back - yes all three - asking what it means for our children's education - and how damaging it is to the Sunak government. And as Keir Starmer shuffles his top team, we ask what it tells us about Labour's priorities a year out from an election.

Yes, except that both he and others are framing it as 500 schools, quietly adding that it is actually 500 over ten years, which of course is 50 a year. So they are all being disingenuous about what they have done in the recent past, as well as blaming everyone else - civil service, Labour and even the schools themselves for the inaction since 2018.

@uniteddreamer 11 ай бұрын

The first thing Tories did when coming into power is cut taxes for the rich. So if they're saying there wasn't enough money after Labour to ensure school maintenance was adequately expensed, then they need to explain why they gave the rich their tax giveaway - the abolition of the banker bonus tax, the abolition of the 50p tax rate, the slashing of the corporation tax...

Because the uk media is run, in the main, by people who benefit from having the Tories in Government, so why would they bite the hand that feeds them. The BBC is regularly slated for being "TOO BALANCED" and allowing tor apologists to have a say anytime there is a story that is in any way negative to the tories. What we need to remember, it is the government who appoint the upper echelons of power at the BBC. So what chance is there when the press, is generally, owned by tory cronies. Report the news, be balanced by telling the facts and not the spin, and stop sensationalising things that are not important.

I am disappointed that , on this matter , the media has not used Structural /Construction professionals to explain the issue. In the '70s lots of schools had "High Alumina Cement" which caused closures etc. while remedial works done . I used to inspect school infrastructure and it was quite depressing, badly run.

.the remodeling of schools in the city of La Coruña (Spain), was partly financed by European funds. .......and this summer 3 or 4 schools were remodeled with a part of European Nex generation funds.

Why are they sat with papers and laptops on their knees, can they not remember what they are talking about? Sound is really loud and booming too.

I saw these figures quoted elsewhere and checked them. There are roughly 20,000 publicly funded (state) schools in the UK. At a replacement rate of 50 schools per year, my state education tells me that it will take around 400 years to replace them all. What happened to Sunak's legendary (in his own mind) maths ability?
