Not so much the lack of experience in each post (Ministers have staff for that), it's more that he's had five Minister of State positions, under three PMs, in under a year, that's a bit unusual...

Apparently our new Defence Minister has been using '1234', as his password. The Russkies will never crack that :D

Rishi Sunak cut the budget for rebuilding schools when he was chancellor, years after ministers were told there was a danger of collapse posed by the low-strength concrete used in buildings in the post-war period, according to the former permanent secretary at the department of education.

Speaking on the BBC’s Today programme on Monday morning, Jonathan Slater said that his department warned the government in 2018 that 300 to 400 schools needed to be replaced each year because the reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete used in construction between the 1960s and 1990s only had a design life of 30 to 40 years.

“We weren’t just saying there was a significant risk of fatality, we were saying there was a critical risk to life if this programme is not funded,” he said.

Apart from their donors and, of course, the ultra-wealthy, I cannot think of any section of society that has benefitted from 13 years of their rule.

Just because something has a "design life" of a certain period, does not mean that when it reaches that age it will automatically and suddenly fail.

The school/ buildings where this material was used should be surveyed and assessed, in fact what is the bigger scandal is that such a survey regime was not costed in and already implemented.

It is extremely unlikely that all schools built with this material will need to be knocked down and rebuilt. Some may, some may just need remedial works, some will be just fine.

As usual there is much running around with heads on fire, screaming that the sky is falling.

Unfortunately, what I can predict is that someone will make a lot of money from this!

The shitshow continues...

The education secretary has been recorded on camera suggesting others "have been sat on their a***s" over the school Raac crisis, while saying the government should be thanked for their response.

As part of a morning round of interviews, Gillian Keegan was speaking to ITV News as it was confirmed there could potentially be hundreds more schools affected by the crisis.

In the moments after the main body of the interview had finished, and as the camera repositioned for extra shots, Keegan - still wearing her microphone - criticised others and claimed the government has gone "over and above" in addressing concerns relating to reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac).

"Does anyone ever say, you know what, you've done a f***ing good job because everyone else has sat on their a**** and done nothing," Ms Keegan said.

By election claxon time!

Mr Pincher has lost his appeal against an eight-week suspension following allegations he drunkenly groped two men at London’s Carlton Club last year.

It paves the way for a potential by-election in the former deputy chief whip’s Tamworth seat, since he looks certain to face a recall petition in her constituency.

I fairness the other incumbents have sat on their f***ing ar**es and should be brought to account. That's a different story though.

The issue now is what is going to be done about it?

Michael Gove, several months ago, told us (and it has been confirmed) that the funding to rebuild Frimley Park Hospital and the local schools that are affected with the RAAC problem has been secured/approved. Surrey Heath is in the planning stage. Well ahead of you...

https://uk.style.yahoo.com/nhs-hospi...113010736.html

The rest of you, can find a politician with the integrity of Gove to sort yourselves.

:sick:

It took us years to get rid of the conservatives at the Surrey Heath council, now, what chance do we have to get rid of Gove? the levelling up minister.....
