PM says it is "completely and utterly wrong" to blame him for school concrete crisis after criticism over budget cuts

Just after the ITVnews interview

Swearing you know does anyone say
when you have done a good job

They've spent over £1billion fighting union pay increase over the last 18 months. Any amount of money is available when it comes to building floating asylum prisons or packing people off to Rwanda, but we just don't have any any when it comes to trying to keep your kids alive.

There's a conspiracy theory floating around that I half-believe that there's a long term plan to move a lot of learning online/remote, because of the quite obvious massive money savings there would be if schools didn't exist (or, say, were only open 2 or 3 days with the rest remote). So they're repeatedly creating "test data" to see how viable that is.

Somewhat tinfoil hat stuff, but I can see the reasoning.... I can see why they'd want it to happen. Especially with high-schoolers. Primary school is 50% daycare so that parents can work more, but I reckon the govt. would just expect older kids - say 14+ - to do their schoolin' from home while the parents still work.

Thats not going to fly with all the mental health issues lockdown gave kids and with half of them not bothering to show up online

Its just sheer incompetence that they havent kept up with the renovation programme, its not just schools this concrete was used in either

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has been caught swearing on mic, to express frustration at a lack of gratitude for the handling of the school building crisis.

Having finished an interview with ITV, she swore as she asked "does anyone ever say you've done a good job because everyone else has sat on their arse and done nothing".

"Any sign of that, no?" she added.

A Downing Street source described the comments as "completely wrong".

i find the timing of it all pretty suspect. I tend to think that the government were completely unaware until someone decided to create some mischief.

It is surely the responsibility of local councils to keep their eye on such things. They are the ones that approve planning permission and building regs. So they would be the ones that would know the lifespan and be checking on it

It does feel slightly rehearsed in tone, to be honest.
