So how many more sacrificial lambs? Funny how the buck never stops with the top true boss in politics these days.

In any other business the buck would stop at the top but that does not seem to apply to politics sadly.

Re: A-level and GCSE results fiasco.
isn’t “the top” there to set policy? If thete is a misinterpretation or a poor implementation, then “the top” Can get angry.
If “the top” gave vague requirements and didn’t set proving standards, then “the top” should squirm.

Feel free to take it up with your local MP, I'm sure they'll be willing to give you a complete and unbiased answer

Re: A-level and GCSE results fiasco.
Algorithms/programmes don’t mutate - they aren’t alive.
They are coded from agreed specifications, they receive and process data, then provide outputs - they only change when a coder changes them.

Re: A-level and GCSE results fiasco.
The Algorithm was probably done on a Windows 10 computer, with all of the 'crucial' updates . . that would mutate it
