let s start with the story that s dominated the uk political agenda for the last few days. rishi sunak says it s utterly wrong to blame him forfailing to tackle the issue of unsafe concrete in school buldings. as thousands of children return to classrooms today after the summer break, it s emerged that more than a hundred schools in england and scotland will be closed or partially shut. it s over safety concerns about what is known as raac a type of concrete, that s known to be at risk of crumbling. our political editor chris mason reports on a busy first day back for mps. you probably hadn t heard of it until the other day, but this stuff concrete that can get crumbly is building into a political mess. did rishi sunak, when he was chancellor, walk away from repairs happening sooner? the man who used to be the department for education s most senior civil servant reckons he did. i was absolutely amazed to see that the decision made by the government was to halve the sc
there has been success. there s no doubt about that. nobody can argue that. but it is at least i know two years that the clubs were thinking, should they change direction are not? should theyjust keep more respectable to the fans, more profession, more this and that. quite clearly, with the success in last season, they had to stay. there s one game in the premier league on monday, with european qualification the focus for manchester united, who travel to crystal palace. eric ten hag s side slipped to eighth, outside to european places, following results at the weekend. seventh or an fa cup win will be enough. of course is important. but we have two opportunities. that is one of the league and one in fa cup final. definitely the league and one in fa cup final. definitely will have an impact on the pitch definitely will have an impact on the pitch. but i m sure manchester united the pitch. but i m sure manchester united is the pitch. but i m sure manchester united is a
