The period 1July 2019 - 30June 2020 was the warmest 12 months ever recorded. Wildfires, floods, storms, droughts, melting permafrost, locust swarms, historic heatwaves. And now glaciers are literally collapsing in front of our eyes.
When will we start treating this as a crisis?

"If you were doing Sanskrit at Eton, you would have got your grade put up. If you were set to be the first person from a bog-standard Comprehensive to go to Oxford, you would almost certainly have seen your grade go down. They can fix this NOW." @mrjamesob | #AlevelResults@LBC

R is our school's top English student. She got 9 at GCSE. She got A at AS. She is studious, precise, deeply thoughtful. She has just had her A Level grade reduced from A* to C, apparently just because she goes to a disadvantaged school. It might help if you liked her poem.@KateClanchy1![]()

The system of downgrading results from previously low-scoring schools, is the very definition of keeping people in their place; no hope of achieving beyond your opportunity. 1/2@rachelparris

Hilarious day. So funny , kids I’ve taught since 11 and know inside out not getting the grades they deserve at 18. Not a single grade A in our school- not one! This has never happened in 10 years. We expected our best results ever today ....@sallyjanesally1![]()

#AlevelResults Predicted A*A*A*. Expcetionally low performing school. No one had ever achieved a Cambridge offer before in my sixth form. Performed at A*A*A consistently. Today, A*AB. Dropped two grades in Sociology. Denied Cambridge place. This is what has happened to me.

And just like that the lead story became French quarantine instead of unfair exam fiasco
I wish the UK was as upset about 65,000 dead people as it is about the A'Level results fiasco. They're both terrible in completely different ways, but the results seem to be generating more outrage than the deaths.
Brilliant to spend the day in Darlington today meeting students, teachers and people from across the town.

I would give the government a "D" for their handling of the exams fiasco, but they'd probably upgrade it to an "A" because they went to Eton.

Sir Michael Wilshaw, former chief inspector of schools in England, brands the A-Level fiasco "a blooming mess. You could see this car crash coming down the road," and now "schools have got to facilitate a strong appeals system, and do it quickly." @JuliaHB1 | @SirM_Wilshaw@talkRADIO

Privilege for the few, disadvantage for the many. Inequality reinforced.
Gavin Williamson should resign. And students this year should have the option of taking their predicted grades.

The proportion of A level grades at grade A and above has seen a rise at private schools this year more than double any type of state school, @Ofqual data reveals. #AlevelResults #alevels2020 tes.com/news/A-levels-…

To all the young people who have been unfairly treated by Johnson's #ExamResults policies, remember that life presents many opportunities. One of them is to decide how Johnson is "graded" in the election. Register to vote.
Please keep talking about the individual unfairness of grading students on the basis of their school’s history (aka their social background) as opposed to their own effort, and don’t let it slip from the news agenda.

When I look at Patel, I see bullying stupidity.
Williamson - insane over-promotion.
Raab - angry inadequacy.
Hancock - churlish incompetence.
Truss - flailing ineffectiveness.
Gove - sly betrayal.
Johnson - lazy, irresponsible, bullshitting vanity.
All of them - corrupt greed.

If Michael Gove had not scrapped modular A Levels against the advice of teaching pros, everyone receiving their A Level results today would have their grades based largely on their accumulated assessments. The finger of accusation should be pointed firmly at him. #AlevelResults
Over one third of ALL British PMs have been from ONE school, Eton
It is NOT because they are so brilliant
It is NOT because the teaching is so brilliant
It IS because our society is RIGGED
And the UK pays a terrible price for this rigging

Mass mobilization and a #GeneralStrike are the only possible ways out of this nightmare, which is why the resistance has been filled with infiltrators since 2016 who are here to tell us that electoral victory is assured and we all shouldn't talk about him rigging the election
Trump is trying to rig the election. It’s that simple. inquirer.com/politics/elect…

I achieved 3 grade A results at A level and was the first pupil in many years from my school to study medicine at university. Based on “predicted grades”, I might never have gone to medical school, qualified as a doctor, and been able to pursue a career as a clinical academic.
So they got them wrong for students from disadvantaged backgrounds but right for private school pupils! This is total bull**** & everyone knows it! Is this seriously Boris Johnson’s idea of “leveling up” pic.twitter.com/QauDxWiH37
