MP queries Treasury grasp of ‘real world’ in tweet, as other Tories call catch-up plan after Covid inadequate
Furious Conservative MPs have privately demanded a rethink of the watered down recovery plan for schools in England after the government’s education recovery chief resigned over the proposals.
A group of Tories held a meeting Thursday afternoon with the MP Alex Burghart, Boris Johnson’s parliamentary private secretary, and the education ministers Nick Gibb and Vicky Ford. Sources said the MPs made clear they thought the proposal was inadequate.
