GAVIN WILLIAMSON REMOVED!!!

[moch]

Oh my days! he is no longer education secretary. Any guesses who is replacing him?

Thank god for that.

When does the announcement for his replacement happen do you know? i'd have thought it'd all be done at the same time as announcing his removal but apparently not.

Announcements are tomorrow, I read.

Who cares. The next person will be more of the same. It's called a reshuffle for a reason.

Musical chairs depending on who is in favour, who can offer power, blah blah. Pointless shite.

Sad to agree with you @marioduck

And so? What difference will it make to what actually happens?

Mario You've echoed some of my fears, that we shouldn't get too excited, it all depends who is coming next. We might be wishing Gav was back! Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Gosh. .unbelievable!

What if they give it to gove....

No point in getting excited. Anyone that Boris sticks in these positions is going to be equally as shit as the last and we will all continue to suffer for it, yet still vote Tory.

Give has already done it, that’s who messed up the primary curriculum on the first place, we’ll not first but most recently!

Great that he is out of education but my big concern is that he gets something else to balls up. I also wish for Raab to be kicked as far away from the cabinet as possible. However, that said, it's not like there are any 'solid options' coming up the ranks... So utterly depressing.

Who cares. The next person will be more of the same.
Yep. Like when Theresa May went as PM. It's not like anyone better was ever going to be put in the job, is it.

Better the devil you know

Who on earth is coming up behind him? I wouldn't be too excited.

More of the same; they’re all insipid twerps who never answer interviewers’ questions.

Not Gove for sure. Maybe Jeremy Hunt?

Would Hunt take it? Not saying he'd be better or worse just that it's a poison chalice and I think he's got another leadership run in him.

Crossing fingers that Priti Patel gets kicked to the kerb.

again?! They can't make the same mistake twice, can they?!

Kemi Badenoch?

I know a lovely, politely spoken female DD in Defra who used to work with Priti in Dept for Education and once when I was working with her she let rip on a rant about her for 10 minutes - it wasn't pleasant. It was justified though, from what this DD said.

Was in a tearoom and I leapt up excitedly and did a little dance. Same dance I did at Gove's departure. Then I sat down again knowing the next one will be just as shit. So depressing

What does this mean for next years exams?? What a flipping debacle. Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery - any of them.

Fear not! There are plenty of talentless, unqualified, self serving little shitbags who haven't had a turn yet.
