Sisterhood responds to Tristram Hunt’s nun comments

Tristram Hunt caused upset on Question Time when he appeared to question the abilities of nuns as teachers during a debate with Cristina Odone.

He has since tried some damage limitation in the form of a tweet saying he was attempting ‘to make a generalised point about the use of unqualified teachers in schools’.

Now one of the more technologically savvy Benedictine nuns Sister Catherine Wybourne has taken to Twitter to speak of her pity for the shadow education secretary.

Poor Tristram Hunt. Think how much brighter he might be if he’d been taught by nuns. 😉
