Watch: Patronising Richard Madeley schooled by teaching union leader

Richard Madeley might not like the fact that individual workers don't have to tell their employers if they'll be taking strike action, but they don't have to. Solidarity with all teachers on strike today@cyclingkev on #GMB this morning. pic.twitter.com/OysK80lqj5

Pompous, patronising Madeley. As usual, he came out the worse for his appalling behaviour.

Why is he asking the question as though he’s speaking to a child?

Richard Madeley is an absolute disgrace.
The way he spoke to the teachers union rep was patronising childish and showed total disrespect.
Put him into isolation to learn some manners!#SupportTheStrikes

Richard Madeley talking to a teachers’ union rep like he’s about to send an errant pupil to detention. pic.twitter.com/UVSxiadYbw

There’s a certain beauty in watching Richard Madeley being educated by teachers this morning on #GMB.
