Well it very much is all go today. We start with a war of words over to whos blame for the crumbling concrete in schools. The Prime Minister says those whove blamed him are utterly wrong. He was forced to defend himself after former senior official at the department of education claimed the treasury rishi sunaks the treasury under rishi sunaks watch had cut the budget to rebuild englands schools. Jonathan slater says he was amazed at a decision was made to halve the School Rebuilding programme back in 2021. He says that the government agreed to fund work on 100 schools a year to fix crumbling concrete and other problems. But after a review by the then chancellor, rishi sunak, he claims that the budget was cut to 50 schools a year. Budget was cut to 50 schools a year. But now the budget was cut to 50 schools a year. But now the pm hits budget was cut to 50 schools a year. But now the pm hits back, year. But now the pm hits back, telling journalists today in his first Spending Review in 2020 that he announced that a new ten year School Rebuilding programme for 500 schools. Mr sunak says that 95 of englands 22,000 schools would not be affected by this issue. But essentially for all of the guff and that is quite a lot of guff, basically 156 schools in england have so far been told to shut or called in off areas affected by this rac concrete. However, it has been reported that a further 450 schools have yet to be inspected, which is obviously a massive problem. The education secretary is expected to give an update on that later this afternoon. But of course , she afternoon. But of course, she was actually caught on a hot mic a little bit earlier on, which hopefully well play you a clip of in just a second or two, basically saying that shes done an good job. She was caught off guard , turning the air blue guard, turning the air blue following an interview earlier, unknown to her, this mic had been switched on. Just take a listen to this. Listen to this. We will get a plan and every single one of them will be done i okay. Thank you very much. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Down just a few.

Quite possibly about 450 and sixth form colleges today are at risk of supposedly imminent collapse by the way, as well. I think hospitals could well be as well, from what i can gather. But focusing the schools, loads from what i can gather. But fo calls about the rac problem , calls about the rac problem, which emerged last friday. In a sense, shes frustrated that i think maybe its on her watch. This has happened because , this has happened because, patrick, these problems go back decades. Labour patrick, these problems go back decades. Labour were warned four times by outside bodies about the rac this week concrete. Then the rac this week concrete. Then the tories cut back on the schools building program. Um, schools building program. Um, and then even the pm rishi sunak, when he was chancellor, the Government Cut back on spending on new building because of course, well at the time the covid pandemic took precedence over all Government Spending. So across the board theres lots of people being blamed shes people being blamed and shes slightly the one left holding the hot potato. If you like, as its chucked about between governments and ministers. And that may be part of the frustration, say frustration, im afraid. Say were hear again from frustration, im afraid. Say weiprobably hear again from frustration, im afraid. Say weiprobably at1ear again from frustration, im afraid. Say weiprobably at somegain from frustration, im afraid.

Parents this governors academies this school, governors academies , the government, the Prime Minister who whos in charge here . Think theres here . And i think theres a degree self pity which might degree of self pity which might cut quite badly with parents stuck at home looking after their children yet again. Some of poor kids again of these poor kids once again taught through calls taught through zoom phone calls to during the covid. I to like during the covid. I think, you know, people can look at that and go, yeah, you think, you know, people can look at thaits d go, yeah, you think, you know, people can look at thaits your yeah, you think, you know, people can look at thaits your yeaiyoure ou think, you know, people can look at thaits your yeaiyoure paid know, its yourjob. Youre paid to you know, to do it. Gillian. You know, just sort out, will just just sort it out, will you . Well mean, that is the thing. I mean, also, if she didnt want to be held accountable for things previous education things that previous education secretaries had done, she should have no to being the have said no to being the current education secretary. I do of sympathy for do have a degree of sympathy for her. Didnt the her. I mean, she didnt put the concrete herself, and concrete in there herself, and she hopefully she was probably hopefully relatively until relatively unaware of it until quite recently. Otherwise, you know, known death trap, know, its a known death trap, isnt you mentioned isnt it . But you mentioned there that going to hear there that were going to hear from on soon. And from her again on soon. And thats something to thats something i want to hammer down on. A couple of quick questions you then, quick questions for you then, christopher. Know christopher. So what do we know about number schools so about the number of schools so far do you mean by far and what do you mean by were from gillian were going to hear from gillian again soon. Well we know, dont we . Theres 156 which have this theres156 which have this rack concrete, 104 notified last friday. Theyre the ones that have shut very suddenly. You have shut very suddenly. You mentioned 450. I think the figure might be bigger than that. Patrick she told me this very spot. Gillian keegan when she wasnt swearing, talking appropriately to gb news viewers, course. Patrick, viewers, of course. Patrick, she told that 90 of 15,000 told me that 90 of 15,000 schools have been checked out. That leaves 1500 have yet to return these detailed questionnaires about the quality of concrete in their in their buildings. And thats why buildings. And thats why i think 450 could be well, we dont know what the number is, but know that 1500 schools but we do know that 1500 schools are yet to reply. We are yet to reply. And so we dont what going to dont know what theyre going to say. They have increased the number engineers number of Structural Engineers from 8. So from 3 to 8. Yep, 3 to 8. So thats how many, many does it. But thats the idea that theyre going deploy engineers going to deploy these engineers across and it across the schools estate and it will take some the pm will take some weeks, as the pm said. Will they get a grip on said. Will they get a grip on this problem . Its not this problem . So its not nowhere near over. Ones this problem . So its not nowhere near over. Ones heart goes to families stuck with goes out to families stuck with children when they want goes out to families stuck with ch be en when they want goes out to families stuck with ch be with when they want goes out to families stuck with ch be with their when they want goes out to families stuck with ch be with their mates| they want goes out to families stuck with ch be with their mates at|ey want goes out to families stuck with ch be with their mates at schoolil i yeah, no indeed. And she is expected to be talking in the house of commons. Were not entirely sure when. Initially i was told it would be about 3 30 and i believe it might be and now i believe it might be about 5 15. Yeah yeah. The reason. The reason why that is, patrick, is the, the speaker of the house of commons has allowed to further urgent questions and these questions have been put in by mps precedence mps and they take precedence over. So boringly over statements. So boringly therell be 90, 90 minutes bonng therell be 90, 90 minutes boring in terms of if you care about schools policy, of course the issues are very important theyre looking at. But therell be 90 minutes of urgent questions and then well should get keegan get towards Gillian Keegan setting her plans what setting out her plans on what to do next hopefully not do next and hopefully not swearing in parliament at about 5 00 tonight. What she did. 5 00 tonight. And what she did. Tell me again this spot for gb news morning was they would news this morning was they would pubush news this morning was they would publish list of the 156 this publish the list of the 156 this week. Whats delaying that list is not all schools are is that not all schools are back, cant be entirely back, so they cant be entirely sure that parents know their sure that all parents know their schools affected. Theyre schools are affected. Theyre trying the parents trying to look after the parents first then the journalist.
