Gavin Williamson’s comments about teachers have NOT gone down well

"Conservative ideology is, at its heart, just your uncle talking out of his arse down the pub based on something he half-remembers seeing on the news."

The covid WhatsApp leaks have pulled even more people into the mire with Matt Hancock.

The messages, leaked to the Telegraph, appear to show Williamson accusing teachers of looking for an “excuse” not to teach during the early stages of the Covid pandemic.

Arses

Also in another WhatsApp exchange in October 2020, after Williamson announced a delay to exams for the following year, Hancock praised him for his “cracking announcement”, adding: “What a bunch of absolute arses the teaching unions are.”

Williamson replied: “I know they really really do just hate work.”

Geoff Barton, the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said it showed “an appalling lack of respect for teachers” at a time of national emergency when unions were trying to engage constructively with government.

And on BBC…

Charlie Stayt – Would you be looking for an apology from Matt Hancock & Gavin Williamson about the way you were spoken about?

This is abysmal. Williamson and Hancock – two utter inadequates slagging off our teaching profession. Two of the most compromised unprofessional revolting politicians we’ve ever had the misfortune to have in power thinking they are better than the people who educate our children.

Really?

On #GMB Ben Shephard asks Nick Gibb (the Tory schools minister) how can we trust politicians when they say one thing publicly, and another thing privately. Gibb says we should believe what Gavin Williamson said in public, rather than what he said in private. pic.twitter.com/ATSnUdtwjT

This was at a time when the Government was publicly applauding key workers who kept the country going in difficult circumstances.

My only hope is that at the next General Election the Tories get the biggest kicking from the electorate in UK political history.

Please, everyone, make it happen. https://t.co/RDy23PQKQt
