Stephen Flynn, the SNP's Westminster leader, now begins his grilling of Rishi Sunak at Prime Minister's Questions."Upon her speedy departure, they would have thought that things were going to get better," he says.
Mr Sunak says the government has"acted decisively to ensure the safety of children and minimise disruption to education as we have laid out and communicated extensively". "But he won't lift a finger when it comes to protecting other people's schools, other people's safety, other children."Conservative MP Nicola Richards throws a softball question to the prime minister.
Sir Keir then continues by bringing up Mr Sunak's record as chancellor to cut school building budgets. He accuses the PM of deciding to half the budget for schools when he was chancellor after an unstable type of concrete led to the collapse of a school roof in 2018.
