What the petition asks
Remove Andrea Jenkyns as Education Secretary for Her Inappropriate Gesture towards the British people.
Andrea Jenkyn’s insensitive gesture at a time when the British public are facing many issues was inappropriate.
As an education secretary what examples is she setting for those in education.
Andrea’s gesture shows her immaturity and carelessness and shows that she is not fit to be an MP never mind an education secretary!
We want Andrea Jenkyns removed as Education secretary’
