To mitigate the problem of collapsing school buildings, maybe headteachers could use their meagre capital funds to erect giant tents for teaching in school playing fields.

The playing fields have been sold off, you say?

Oh.

You gave to admit that this is better than Labour's usual bland offerings. Gillian Keegan walked straight into a trap with her idiotic statement that most schools are not at risk of collapse.

"Most beachgoers not eaten by big shark"

Funny how England's education secretary Gillian Keegan is generally seen sitting on her arse.

Credit to BBC #Newsnight's Ben Chu for unpicking the detail of capital spending on schools in the context of the #CrumblyConcrete shitstorm. In short, no one deserves thanks for doing a #FuckingGoodJob when arses, Gillian Keegan's included, are only now being lifted slowly off comfy chairs following the summer recess.

I see Nicola Murray has let herself go a bit. Who will be England's education secretary next week?

Rishi Sunak having a fit of pique is a pathetic sight to behold. No one is saying Sunak personally built the condemned schools, but he's the current CEO of UK plc, and the burden is therefore his to carry. That's the way things work, innit.

"Jeremy Hunt under fire after Treasury says no new cash to fix Raac in schools"

This should come as no surprise, given that it does from a zombie government.

Kick the can down the road, and leave it to the next administration to sort out the mess. Hunt et al. are daring Labour to make a funding pledge, not least as no one knows how much it will cost to deal with the problem.
