The Conservative Education Secretary has been left red faced, after ITV published footage minutes after she wrapped up an interview with them in which she delivery a swear-laden outburst about the RAAC crisis.<\/p>\n

Gillian Keegan is clearly seen and heard asking why no one is thanking her for doing a \u201cf***ing good job\u201d amid chaos of parents learning their children can\u2019t return to school days before the end of the summer holiday.<\/p>\n

She also slams others, presumably her Tory predecessors in Government, for sitting \u201con their a***s\u201d and failing to act.<\/p>\n

The Education Secretary is on the back foot today, after she admitted hundreds more schools could be affected by the RAAC crisis, but parents, pupils and teachers do not know.<\/p>\n

A Labour source has responded: “I\u2019m sure parents across the country whose kids are sitting under steel girders will be sure to thank the Tories for \u2018doing a fucking good job”.<\/p>\n

Having published the clip, ITV said: “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”.<\/p>\n

“In the moments after the main body of the interview had finished, and as the camera repositioned for extra shots, Keegan – still wearing her mic – criticised others and claimed the govt has gone ‘over and above’ in addressing concerns relating to RAAC.”<\/p>\n

This afternoon, Bloomberg has revealed Ms Keegan went on holiday to Spain while the crisis unfolded.<\/p>\n

Ms Keegan jetted off from August 25 to the 31 to celebrate her father’s birthday, after instructing colleagues to investigate the RAAC issue.<\/p>\n

Ms Keegan told the BBC this morning that hundreds more schools could be beset with crumbling concrete, with around 1,500 schools yet to return their surveys detailing the discovery of RAAC – around 10 percent of the nation\u2019s 15,000 schools.<\/p>\n

She said that the \u201cvast majority\u201d of surveys show now RAAC in schools, but admitted hundreds of those 1,500 could contain the potentially dangerous building material.<\/p>\n

“If you go through the numbers that I\u2019ve said, of the 90 percent that have come back only 1 percent of them have RAAC, so if you wanted to try and give an order of magnitude we\u2019re talking much less than that\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ms Keegan said three incidents over the summer where RAAC had \u201cfailed\u201d caused the last-minute move by the Government, sparking chaos for thousands of parents, but argued the Government has spent \u00a315 billion on capital schools spending since 2015.<\/p>\n

Ms Keegan’s office has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

The Education Secretary said they will now all be inspected \u201cin the next two weeks\u201d, after an increase in the number of building surveyors.<\/p>\n
