Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer argue over a phone call and schools

Показать описание

In bad-tempered exchanges at PMQs, Boris Johnson faced an onslaught from Labour's Keir Starmer who accused him of 'flailing around' while millions of children missed out on their education. But Mr Johnson raged that Sir Keir had been 'flip-flopping' over whether schools were safe to return or not, and had not honoured his pledge to work together on the crucial issue. 'I really think he needs to make up his mind,' the premier swiped. Education Secretary Gavin Williamson admitted yesterday that the 'ambition' of getting all primary age children back in class for a month before the summer break had been ditched, just weeks after it was set. And Government sources refused to confirm that all pupils at either primary or secondary schools will be able to go back full-time after the holidays, merely saying they hoped 'more' could return.
