Pressure on Boris after u-turn for GCSEs in Northern Ireland as pupils will get teacher predictions instead

More Tory MPs came out to hit out at the Government's handling of the crisis

Yesterday Ofqual published its guidelines for how to appeal - but swiftly took them down after it emerged they contradicted the Government's own policy on which grade could be used. "In that case, I will be taking legal advice this morning and have instructed leading Counsel. I expect to be writing to Ofqual later today to initiate action."GROWING TORY REBELLIONTory former minister Stephen Hammond called the whole thing a "shambles"

Tory peer and ex education secretary Lord Baker lashed the “flawed” algorithm used to dish out results."I urge the Education Secretary to instruct Ofqual not to release the GCSE results this Thursday as their algorithm is flawed. The A-level results have produced hundreds of thousands of unfair and barely explicable downgrades.”

"Because I think the way they've done it with the algorithm, Ofqual, is I think more unfair than having grade inflation."
