Never our fault

Boris Johnson, 16 August: "Let's be in no doubt about it, the exam results that we've got today are robust, they're good, they're dependable for employers"

BJ 26th August: "I’m afraid your grades were almost derailed by a mutant algorithm"

Not his fault.

The head of the Exam Regulator and the Department's senior Civil Servant have either resigned or been sacked.

But the Minister responsible, Gavin Williamson, is still in post, and claimed he only knew of the issues four days after the results were released, blaming poor briefings by his Department.

So, this goes to the root of the question, if the Minister of State is no responsible for his Departments multiple clusterfucks, then what, exactly, is a Minister of State for?

Meanwhile, the Home Office Tweeted a video accompanied by this text:

"Small boat crossings are totally unnecessary and we continue to return migrants with no right to be in the UK.

Another flight left today with more planned in the coming weeks."

And in the video claiming that "activist lawyers" had stopped sending illegal migrants back to somewhere, anywhere.

At the moment there is no legal route for migrants to use so to claim refugee status, the UK Government closed those down. And at the end of the year, all agreements for returning those we can currently will expire.

Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of pounds has been funnelled to the Tory's friends and backers under cover of COVID, with no scrutiny, no tender process, no audit.

But let them drop another dead cat to go with the Rule Britannia one.
