I saw an actual expert in this concrete issue say on twitter that a Crunchie bar was their preferred comparison. To be clear, that's not *better*! I don't believe Keegan was caught out by a hot mic. Her hands move toward the mic as if to remove it then she stops, and says her lines instead. I think she thought she'd get 30p Lee-style 'hard man' kudos. So poor judgement but not an accident. The Tories do have to own this, because when they got in initially, they gleefully abandoned Labour's school rebuilding programme. In fact, IIRC, Gove was even told by the courts he'd been unlawful in doing so, though nothing seems to have come of that.
