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.
Gillian Keegan is clearly seen and heard asking why no one is thanking her for doing a “f***ing good job” amid chaos of parents learning their children can’t return to school days before the end of the summer holiday.
She also slams others, presumably her Tory predecessors in Government, for sitting “on their a***s” and failing to act.
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.
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”.
“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.”
Ms Keegan’s office has been contacted for comment.
