Even Corbyn has been quiet about this :(

I can understand Corbyn is reticent about commenting on anything right now as it plays like he's trying to undermine Starmer. At this point though he might as well say "fuck it" and go ahead.

It’s actually understood that past leaders will not criticise their predecessor so Corbyn can’t really do this, he is very much not like that. So idk.

Gibb's being pressed on the use of mock exam grades being unfair as different schools do different mocks, marking is unstandardised and subjective, different standards of security apply, etc, etc, and the response is basically 'yep'.
It's interesting to see the volume of attention this is getting now vs the tiny blip of coverage you had when the decision to cancel exams was made and BAME MPs were highlighting the historically biased nature of predicted grades.
