A heartbroken grandmother has confronted a Tory minister for "playing with her grandchildren's lives" - while she is still barred from seeing them.
Lyn from Redditch, Worcestershire, sounded close to tears as she asked Robert Jenrick why he was sending children back to school, but not letting them see their family.
In a phone-in on BBC Radio 5 Live, she told the Communities Secretary - who denied "playing with anyone's lives" - "I have a 60ft garden full of children’s toys where they could play. "But I'm not allowed to do that and it’s breaking my heart." Primary schools are due to reopen in a "socially distanced" way from June 1 at the earliest, starting with Years R, 1 and 6 and with other primary years due to follow by July.
