Why couldn't the government organise things so exams could take place as in other countries? The UK decided very early not to let them take place. And yet since then the PM and his government have so often gone on about how school is so important.

I live in Germany and work at a school there. We closed down on 13 March (in my state). Return to school was delayed beyond Easter but the Abitur (final exam enabling university entrance) took place in all states in a normal form. Marking normall is done by 3 people (subject teacher + 2 unknown external ones). This was reduced to subject teacher and one other teacher at the same school. No serious backtracking the massive need for remarking has occurred.

In short, bad decisions were made from the start Mr Prime Minister. What a surprise!

Moreover, waffle and smoke screens so many times. So incoherent. He is also insolent regarding Starmer - spreading false information. But hey ho, the man he admires so much excels at that.

As a foreigner I gotta say that watching this was extremely entertaining (appologies, I realise the topics discussed are very serious, but for the non-affected viewer it's like a high-speed intellectual tennis match - fast pacing, passionate yet so civilized)!

Boris is a pale shadow of himself 10y ago - or rather he has shown his true colours once he became PM. I cringe watching his PMQs, he stutters, blusters, gibbers and guffaws and seems totally out of his depth compared to Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak
