Science Minister Deletes Support for School Phone Ban

mdi-fullscreen

DSIT minister Feryal Clark was tweeting yesterday about her support for schools in her constituency banning mobile phones. Something Labour argues very hard against…

Clark has curiously deleted the tweet now. An England-wide school phone ban happens to be one of the few policies Badenoch has announced and is one that shadow education secretary Laura Trott goes on frequently. Starmer said to Kemi at dispatch box the policy is “unnecessary” and a “waste of time” while Phillipson calls it a “gimmick.” Hurry up and get that screening of Adolescence to all schools, would you?

DSIT secretary Peter Kyle is tipped to replace Phillipson come the post-Spending Review reshuffle. Is Feryal eyeing a move to DfE too?
