 well, well, well, the majority of #schools that are effects by the #RAAC #buildings crisis are in #Tory constituencies - some might see this as 'chickens coming home to roost' after over a decade of #education defunding.

A cynic might add, that it was only after this distribution become clear did the #tories 'spring into action'... as many have already suggested here, no doubt slightly delayed while they figured out how to channel the repair funds to their mates!

 @43d7c4ea I do like the way you're still creating this mythical third party "cynic".  You know you're rumbled, right? 😂 
 @43d7c4ea A cynic might also wonder whether the reason most of the RAAC schools are in Tory constituencies could be that the building stock in Labour constituencies is typically too ancient for such concrete to have been employed. If so, Karma! 😜
