Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, commenting on Jo Johnson’s resignation, said:

“Boris Johnson poses such a threat that even his own brother doesn’t trust him.

“We have now had four higher education ministers in two years – just the latest sign of the chaos that the Tories have caused to education and the threat that a disastrous No Deal Brexit poses to our colleges and universities.

“We need a General Election as soon as No Deal is off the table, so that a Labour government can transform our education system and society so they work for the many, not just a privileged few.”
