Govt attitute to exam results v similar to the way it saw the virus coming but did not move quickly. In March it watched Italy and did not react. This time it saw Scotland's exam example and again froze in the headlights.

Only two days since Gavin Williamson was telling the Times; "No Uturn, no change" on grades. Life comes at you fast, etc.

It is astonishing that I & many others over a week ago predicted the shit show that the OFQUAL algorithm would be but superforecasters like Dominic Cummings did not.

Eventually things like this will dent the government's support.
