Boris Johnson blamed a ‘mutant algorithm’ for students’ A-level chaos – these 9 responses earned top marks
Boris Johnson – you remember, the prime minister – today blamed a ‘mutant algorithm’ for the A-level chaos that saw pupils have their results downgraded before another government U-turn.
Speaking at a thing in Leicestershire today, Johnson told students:

To conclude …
Boris Johnson just told school children their grades were ‘almost derailed by a mutant algorithm’.
