Concrete crisis and the Gillian Keegan rant
Tuesday 26 September 2023 11:08, UK
MPs returned to Westminster after their summer break, but the same can't be said for thousands of children expected in classrooms for the autumn term - due to the crumbling concrete crisis.
More than 100 schools stayed shut on Monday due to safety fears about reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete - or RAAC - while the education secretary Gillian Keegan was caught on camera complaining about not being thanked for doing a "f* good job" over it all.
On the Sky News Daily, Rob Powell speaks to Adrian Tagg - building surveying lead at the University of Reading - about how far the crisis may spread.
Plus, Sky's Sophy Ridge joins Rob to talk about the political fallout of the RAAC crisis, Labour's reshuffle and the possibility of a new by-election, as her new show The Politics Hub begins.
