Disappointment for Gavin Williamson as his knighthood is downgraded to a CBE, and then again to a Blue Peter badge.

The decision to knight Gavin Williamson is so bad they can’t even bury it in this news cycle.

Proof that if you fail, fail and fail again… and then fail some more – you will be amply rewarded in Boris Johnson's Britain. What a farce.https://t.co/8OICLUwV5X

No greater example of reward for failure is knighthood for Gavin Williamson – announcement in middle of Putin’s war against Ukraine is final confirmation of a deeply unserious government

Sir Gavin Williamson. Sacked as Defence Secretary and oversaw the Covid exam debacle – another reward for failure.

That knighthood for Gavin Williamson is an insult to every working class kid marked down two A-level grades by his class-based algorithm

I can’t handle ‘Sir’ Gavin Williamson. It’s such a contemptible slap in the face to the British public who’ve suffered so badly from his woeful ineptitude, and makes an absolute mockery of our already deeply flawed ‘honours’ system. In fact, it may kill it off altogether.

And this.

Was Gavin Williamson capable of being education sec? No of course not, he's Gavin Williamson. Did he know what was going on most of the time? Again, not really. Is it his fault? No. All he knew was he'd get a prize if he was a big boy and now people want to take it away from him.
