Bungling ex-Education Secretary Sir Gavin Williamson accused teachers' unions of looking for an “excuse” not to work during the coronavirus pandemic.
In leaked WhatsApp messages with former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, Sir Gavin criticised the education unions ahead of the re-opening of classes in May 2020.
He said unions “really do just hate work” following what, at that stage, had been a two-month school closure for all except vulnerable children and those whose parents were key workers.
