The education secretary says she will turn the Tory leader’s insults into a T-shirt.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson told the BBC that Kemi Badenoch would turn her attack on a Prime Minister’s Question into a t-shirt.

The Conservative leader called out Phillipson for taxing private school fees to pay for more teachers, saying “the number of teachers has gone down”.

Sir Keir Starmer has defended Phillipson as her education secretary – but the two women After the PMQs, harsh words were exchanged And they continued their feud on social media.

Badenoch’s latest post doubled down on Phillipson: “You are sacrificing the children’s future on the altar of your class envy.”

ADB has been attacking Phillipson for Labor by introducing a historic VAT exemption for private schools and a 20% rate, which is expected to generate £9 billion for private schools, but is not specifically restricted to recruiting teachers.

However, teacher recruitment continues to be a problem, with the number of teachers falling by 2,000 last year, according to government figures.

Asked about Badenoch’s comments about Nick Robinson’s comments on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Phillipson said: “The next time Nick sees me, I’ll be wearing a T-shirt that says ‘crude class fighter’ – because being a decent class fighter means lifting half a million children out of poverty, and I’ll wear that T-shirt proudly.”

The Education Secretary was referring to Labour’s plan. Fighting child poverty, ExternalIt includes cutting the two-child benefit, expanding free childcare and free school meals and creating 3,000 more childcare places.

Phillipson said Badenoch recently compared her to a Gestapo officer and said: “Kemi Badenoch can talk about herself and her own unique unpleasant politics – my focus is on better life chances for children.”

“I think you lose the argument when you reduce yourself to that level of violence.”

Conservative shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy, who accused Phillipson of racism at the mass Muslim public prayer in Trafalgar Square as “an act of domination and division”, has been accused of crossing the line herself.

In March, Sir Kerr called for Timothy to be sacked after comments at PMQs suggested his party had a “problem with Muslims”.

Phillipson continued that row ahead of PMQs. Wednesday morning lesson questions, ExternalShadow Minister for Women and Equalities, Claire Coutinho, has responded to a question posed by the threat of criticism of Islam.

The Education Secretary responded: “We have seen shocking examples of Muslims across our country being attacked because of their faith and identity.

“We don’t want to see (Nick Timothy) who engaged in appalling racism against Muslims in our country and was not sacked by the Leader of the Opposition for those rather disgraceful comments.”

Asked if it was hypocritical for Robinson to label Timothy racist, Phillipson said: “It was racist, it should be ashamed of itself and fired.”

“If you want a strong political debate, I’m up for that every week, but to reduce this to Nazi examples and to the level of highly personal attacks, I think says more about Kemi BA than anyone else.”

Timothy denies that his comments are racist.

Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has consistently defended Phillipson, and Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander has said: “Like Bridget, I’m proudly a government school: we’re government-educated post-war Cabinets.”

We are motivated by fighting poverty and expanding opportunity, not complacency.
