Tories have branded Gillian Keegan a “damning indictment” of Rishi Sunak and his Cabinet after she was caught on camera in a sweary outburst over the school concrete crisis.<\/p>\n
The Education Secretary said she had “done a f****** good job” while others had “sat on their a*** and done nothing”.<\/p>\n
Ms Keegan, who was on holiday in Spain run up to ordering more than 100 schools and colleges in England to close, made the comments yesterday while still on camera after an interview.<\/p>\n
She was later forced to go before broadcasters to apologise for the language she used.<\/p>\n
But a Conservative MP condemned Ms Keegan and the Prime Minister over the incident.<\/p>\n
They told The Telegraph: \u201cThe way she\u2019s conducted herself \u2013 in particular in that ITV interview \u2013 shows she is absolutely selfish and shameless and not fit to stay in office.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s a damning indictment of Rishi Sunak and the people he has appointed to his Cabinet.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s been hiding behind process and has been found wanting on public empathy, and has failed to engage with councils and MPs.<\/p>\n
“What she\u2019s doing now is too late \u2013 the damage has been done, and kids\u2019 education will be affected.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Keegan will face her Cabinet colleagues this morning as the Prime Minister assembles his top team for their first meeting since returning from the Commons’ long summer break.<\/p>\n
