We’re not sure whether this song choice on the Jeremy Vine show was brilliant or terrible

If you hadn’t been aware of the schools concrete crisis disrupting the start of term in the UK, you must surely have noticed it on Monday thanks to the not-really-off-camera NSFW remarks of the Education Secretary, Gillian Keegan.

Listen for yourself.

Almost crashed the car when I heard this (wait for the song).

Still deciding whether the music scheduler should be sacked or given a pay rise… pic.twitter.com/lLetYAKZDF

A few months ago they were talking about people struggling with the cost of living crisis and then followed it up with ‘Bills’ by LunchMoney Lewis, it’s unreal music scheduling https://t.co/p3ic3q3R4o
