A former top Civil Servant has accused the Prime Minister rishi sunak of cutting the money for School Repairs when he was chancellor mr sunak says its Utterly Wrong to blame him. In scotland, 35 schools are affected and checks are under way in wales and northern ireland. Ellie price reports. School is back. Sort of. But not for those affected by the wrong kind of concrete. For many, it has meant a partial closure of School Buildings and a mad scramble right at the start of a new school year, to find alternatives.

This morning, the Education Secretary said there could be hundreds more affected, as the government was still waiting to hear from 1500 schools about if they have this concrete in their buildings.

There is only so much i 300 to 400. There is only so much capacity in the construction industry. There is disruption if you close schools and rebuild them. The actual ask in the Spending Review in 2021 was two double the 100, to 200. That is what we thought would be practical in the first instance. I thought we would get it, but the actual decision the chancellor took in 21 was to halve the size of the programme. I in 21 was to halve the size of the programme programme. I think that is completely programme. I think that is completely and programme. I think that is completely and utterly programme. I think that is completely and Utterly Wrong. Actually, one of the first things i did in actually, one of the first things i did in my actually, one of the first things i did in my first Spending Review in 2020 did in my first Spending Review in 2020 was did in my first Spending Review in 2020 was to announce a new Ten Year School 2020 was to announce a new Ten Year School rebuilding programme for 500 schools School Rebuilding programme for 500 schools.

But the head teacher wrote to parents on friday, that despite previous advice that the Raac Concrete In The School Hall was safe, that advice changed. It means when these children return on wednesday, they will not be able to go the gym, canteen or toilets, they will have to go in a portaloo instead. The calls were lessons to be learned will go well beyond the school gates. Ellie price, bbc news. Our chief political correaspondent Henry Zeffmanjoins us from westminster. Accusations today which point the finger of blame directly at the Prime Minister . Finger of blame directly at the Prime Minister . Thats right. This intervention Prime Minister . Thats right. This intervention from Prime Minister . Thats right. This intervention from jonathan Prime Minister . Thats right. This| intervention from jonathan slater, intervention from jonathan slater, former head of the department for education, was a laserfocused on rishi sunak. There have been pressure on him to grip this crisis, as mp5 come back to westminster. But actually, until this morning, there have not been much of a sense that he might be responsible, or at least partly responsible, as was claimed, for the situation being, frankly, such a mess as it is, with schools finding outjust days before the term begins that they might have to close. We have been speaking to people who were around government at the time of the Spending Review. Some of them say the criticism is a bit unfair. They doubt whether this actually reached rishi sunak� s desk. Others say even if it didnt reach his desk, it was symptomatic of the way the treasury approached this issue. But if you leave behind a question of who knew what undecided what, when, what you are really left with is the Prime Minister being bogged down in a really difficult issue. Because this is a difficult issue, without a clear end. We still dont know how many schools might be affected. We still dont know how long it might take those schools to fix the issue, and we still dont know whether it is more than just schools affected. Every second that rishi sunak spends answering questions of what he did in the past is time that makes it harder for him to show that he is getting a grip of it in the present. To show that he is getting a grip of it in the present. Henry, thank you very much it in the present. Henry, thank you very much indeed.

The labour leader, sir keir starmer, has been reshuffling his shadow cabinet. One of the main changes is angela rayner, who has been appointed as Shadow Secretary for levelling up. She continues as Deputy Leader, a post she was elected to. Our Political CorrespondentNick Eardleyjoins us. What is the significance of this reshuffle, do you think . It is the team that reshuffle, do you think . It is the team that keir reshuffle, do you think . It is the team that keir starmer reshuffle, do you think . It is the team that keir starmer thinks i reshuffle, do you think . It is the l team that keir starmer thinks can take labour into a general election. Ultimately, it is the team that he wants to put in power, if he wins the keys to Downing Street in that general election. You might be forgiven for thinking here are a bunch of people who i only kind of know about, is it that important that they have these newjobs . The answer is that it probably tells us quite a bit about how keir starmer wants to govern. Angela rayner, the Deputy Leader that we were just mentioning, has a new role. She is going to be in charge of levelling up. Lisa nandy, who had been in that job, suffered a pretty brutal demotion to the International Trade drop. Otherwise, we have seen quite a lot of keir starmer allies, people he is pretty close to, elevated into more seniorjobs. Pat mcfadden has been given thejob more seniorjobs. Pat mcfadden has been given the job of Shadow Cabinet Office minister. Thats a really importantjob if labour important job if labour getting government, importantjob if labour getting government, because he will essentially be in charge of the machinery of government. Some of the key keir starmer allies, like peter kyle and liz kendall have been given higher promotions too. So, what does it tell us . I think it tells us that keir starmer wants his close allies in those topjobs, keir starmer wants his close allies in those top jobs, running keir starmer wants his close allies in those topjobs, running into in those top jobs, running into a general election. A lot of them are on the centre of the party, rather than the left, who ruled the roost underjeremy corbyn. Big question now, do any of them try to tweak their policies . Now, do any of them try to tweak their policies . And we are hearing there could their policies . And we are hearing there could be their policies . And we are hearing there could be another their policies . And we are hearing | there could be another byelection there could be another by election coming up . There could be another byelection coming up . Coming up . Quite possibly, in tamworth. Coming up . Quite possibly, in tamworth, where coming up . Quite possibly, in tamworth, where chris coming up . Quite possibly, in| tamworth, where Chris Pincher coming up . Quite possibly, in. Tamworth, where Chris Pincher is currently the mp. You remember that he was accused of groping two man in a private club in london, that helped precipitate the downfall of Boris Johnsons helped precipitate the downfall of borisjohnsons government. He had been told he would be chucked out of the House Of Commons for eight weeks. He appealed that decision on this morning he has lost that appeal, which means it is almost certain he will face that suspension, which triggers the process that is pretty likely to lead to a by election in his seat, which would mean a by election in tamworth, we are already facing a by election where labour are desperate to challenge the snp, in mid bedfordshire, where Nadine Dorries has stood down, my understanding is that vote will be in the middle of october. Liberal democrats and labour are trying to take it off the tories. A busy few weeks ahead, and a big electoral test for the government. Weeks ahead, and a big electoral test for the government.
