TEACHING unions hit out at “contemptible” comments by Sir Gavin Williamson today after leaked messages showed the then-education secretary accusing staff of looking for an excuse not to work during the pandemic.

The messages, given to the Daily Telegraph by journalist Isabel Oakeshott, have revealed how the government operated behind closed doors at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
