Gavin Williamson warned about people being promoted beyond their competence and everyone made the same joke

Education secretary Gavin Williamson isn’t having a good A-Level results day. In fact, it’s hard to imagine how it could possibly be any worse.

Williamson said people would have ‘taken advantage’ if he hadn’t controversially cut students’ A-level grades, and warned about the dangers of people being promoted beyond their competence.

And did everyone make the same joke? Of course they did.

Irony, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, 12th August, after a long illness. Sadly missed by her sister, Satire, and close cousin, Sarcasm.
Funeral details to be announced. https://t.co/hqjQ9lJkc6

To conclude.

A perfectly crafted joke. Also, unfortunately, perfectly true. https://t.co/CmGfn5VWKW
