Richard Tice spoke about the long list of issues facing Britain
GB NEWS
The forced closure of schools across the country over safety concerns is just another issue evidencing the “broken” nature of Britain, Richard Tice has claimed.
Just days before the new term starts, aerated concrete was identified in schools and colleges, meaning there is a threat of collapse.
104 schools and colleges have been told by the Department for Education (DfE) to partially or fully close buildings just as students prepare to return from their summer holidays.
Reform UK leader Richard Tice has blasted the Government as collapse fears add to the Government’s growing list of concerns.

“There is no question that Britain is broken in so many different and tragic ways”, he said on GB News.
“Let’s remember that hospitals are not being built as promised by the Government.

“We’re levelling down, not levelling up, it seems. We’ve got HS2 that is being delayed by many years.
“The budget is going through the roof, air traffic control broke on Monday, no explanation whatsoever.
“Sewage pouring into the seas, our rivers polluted by the water companies failing to invest.
“Let’s remember we were within a whisker of having to ration our electricity too.”
Richard Tice has criticised the Government on a series of issues
GB NEWSParents were informed of the emergency measures taken by the schools and colleges, which have had to partially or fully close buildings because of the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac), which could suddenly collapse.
“We’re supposed to be the mother of all democracies”, Tice added.
“I haven’t even finished the list for heaven’s sake! We’re not training enough doctors, our students are being kicked out so illegal migrants can be housed nicely.
“Wind farm developers aren’t even building the wind farms they said they would.
University students in Huddersfield have been told to find new accommodation GOOGLE MAPS“The place is not only broken, it is becoming ungovernable. You’ve got civil servants refusing to carry out.
“Tell me, what actually works in this country? The place is absolutely shot to bits!”
Tice made reference to a student accommodation in Huddersfield, which has called on its incoming tenants to make alternative arrangements in order to house asylum seekers instead.
According to Prestige Student Living, a block of flats was set to become home to 168 university students this academic year, but they are now looking elsewhere.
The 405-bed property will no accommodate migrants as their asylum claims are processed.
A spokesperson for Prestige Student Living told ITV: "Hudd Student Management, the landlord for HD1, informed us that the building will not be opening to students in September.
"This decision is beyond the control of Prestige Student Living.
"Our team took immediate action to inform students and help them secure alternative accommodation in Huddersfield and return all payments made to us.
"We deeply sympathise with the students affected by the news and will do all we can to support them."
In a bid to tackle a record backlog in claims, the Government has been forced to resort to using hotels and other buildings as emergency accommodation for asylum seekers.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We have always been up front about the unprecedented pressure being put on our asylum system, brought about by a significant increase in dangerous and illegal journeys into the country.
"We continue to work across government and with local authorities to identify a range of accommodation options.
"The government remains committed to engaging with local authorities and key stakeholders as part of this process."
