      <title>UK’s education secretary recorded on camera abusing her critics</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The United Kingdom’s education secretary was caught on camera abusing her critics after giving an interview to a British news television. She was expressing her dismay over the lack of acknowledgement for addressing the school Raac crisis.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Does anyone ever say, you know what, you’ve done a f*** ing good job because everyone else has sat on their a**** and done nothing,” Gillian Keegan said after her interview with the &lt;em&gt;ITV News&lt;/em&gt; was finished. “Any sign of that, no?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She was speaking about the Raac crisis, which started after the Health and Safety Executive announced in August that Raac was now life-expired. “It is liable to collapse with little or no notice,” it said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of a morning round of interviews, Keegan was speaking to ITV News as it was confirmed there could potentially be hundreds more schools affected by the crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;

        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ITVNewsPolitics/status/1698674935424581991?"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over 100 schools in England have been ordered to partially or fully shut buildings over concerns the concrete they were constructed with is unsafe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raac crisis pertains to the construction of schools in England. Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) is a building material or system used in roof, floor and wall construction due to its lighter weight and lower cost compared to regular concrete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The material has been used in the UK since the 60s, but many buildings from that time are now having problems due to inadequate maintenance, and old age.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A total of 156 schools have confirmed Raac, according to &lt;em&gt;BBC&lt;/em&gt;. Of those, 52 have already put safety measures in place. The other 104 are currently scrambling to put safety measures in place to stay open - as many as 24 of them may have to fully close.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keegan was caught on camera abusing apparently her critics moments after her interview had finished. She was still wearing the microphone and the camera was repositioned for extra shots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She criticised others and claimed the government has gone “over and above” in addressing concerns relating to Raac.&lt;/p&gt;
