Education secretary says only that Sally Collier has ‘worked hard in her position’

Gavin Williamson has refused to personally back the head of Ofqual, Sally Collier, after the A-level grades fiasco led to a humiliating government U-turn.

She’s gone

Good. The head of Ofqual should do the honourable thing and resign. Bet he won’t. There’s no honour left in this busted country.

What's that you say Skippy? Someone's about to be thrown under a bus to save a useless Tory politician's career?

Having Williamson is an idiot. He should be ashamed of what he has done to all those students.

Gavin Williamson - I am not responsible for anything! It was somebody else's fault! I only want power without responsibility (and the money).

Gavin Williamson's resignation would be well received by many but what we desperately need is reforms within Government and across the DfE. We need our children and our schools to be led with integrity, innovation, empathy and vision.

Straight from the pritipatel playbook: Accepting Responsibility 101

so he's getting ready to hand them all the blame and push them over the side? what a shitbag

Buck stops with you. Throwing Ofqual under the bridge to save your job. Nice move!!

whip weirdo

Neither would I...this is entirely their fault. The mishandling after it was obvious they screwed up is his fault...but he sorted it. Can't ask for more than that but his coat is definitely on a shaky hook.

Who made Ofqual have the algorithm? Who designed and implemented the algorithm? Someone ask Mr Williamson please.

This fiasco is the best (or worst) example so far of the dominiccummimgs data driven, sociopathical, decision making process !! It totally ignores the consequences of the decision and how it affects people !!!

Remember when Government ministers resigned on matters of principle?

The Conservatives really makes it fucking easy to never want to work in any public capacity!

The country refuses to back you, ResignWilliamson

A-level and GCSE exams row: PM has 'confidence' in Gavin Williamson and OfqualBoris Johnson has 'confidence' in his education secretary and the English exams regulator despite chaos over A-level and GCSE results. Citizens you represent have absolutely no confidence whatsoever in GavinWilliamson or Ofqual. The decision by Northern Ireland & Scotland to give GCSE Grades as per teacher assessments should become a country wide decision. Please don’t disadvantage my child, NoMoreIncompetance There is something truly wrong with the people who claim to be running the country! What a disgrace! How that confidence will wain when these 16/17 yr olds who've been done over by Gavin Williamson are old enough to vote next election and they repay that confidence with a vote for others.
