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.

"School building is the responsibility of local government ".... except that LAs have to use government approved frameworks, with government approved building regs, on shoe-string budgets (since the tories got to power in 2010). Only one group to blame, Tories out please

@Dylanesque 11 месяцев назад

Not forgetting, in 2005, it was Labour who started the 'Building schools for the future' A nationwide project And it was Gove who terminated that project in 2010 knowing full well it required another 10 years to complete.

Local Governments have no responsibility anything to do with academies or free schools. The responsibility was passed to the Secretary of State for Education. These schools were given the buildings previously owned by, and the responsibility of, the LEAs - no longer.

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...

@hughneil7212 11 месяцев назад

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.

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.

Let's not forget he's collecting around £11.5m per year 'Blood Money' in share dividends from Infosys his father in laws company which still to this day trades and does significant business in Russia despite the PM telling UK press that this was due to cease in April 2022.

Institute of Government article (09 Feb 2022) on Gove's 2013 education reforms: "As of November 2021, 45.4% of schools are academies (79.5% of which are secondaries and 38.3% primaries). The result is an inefficient ‘dual system’ where local authorities still have to support a diminishing number of schools with declining resources, a serious misalignments between powers and responsibilities, a lack of clarity over who is responsible for school improvement, and no single person or office able to properly hold MATs accountable for poor educational performance."

I would like to offer my thanks to Kevin Keegan’s mum for keeping our schools safe. Let’s just take a moment to consider all the hard work and insight they have contributed to solving the problem. It’s also nice to see Jeremy Paxman looking very relaxed in that white shirt with that nice dyed blond hair

Voters are to blame. Low taxes mean low services. Conservatives only stand for low taxes. Voters keep them in govt for 13 years. How many elections have voters had to change their minds.

I'm paying more tax than ever and getting virtually 0 services for it. Where is all the money going? Ukraine?

@@ivermektin6874 Only took you 40 mins to bring Ukraine into it. Well done. You answered your own question. It's low taxes for the rich but sold as low taxes for everybody. And you do vote Conservative don't you?

Sunak hasn't got a clue, he's only a mouthpiece, Sunak has zero clue about the detail behind the garbage he is handed to read out without seatbelt etc, to appeal to the yoof or something? Why do the taudry Tories always behave like they are giving us the cutting room floor bloopers of The Aprentice.
