A poll covered on the Daily Mail’s front page says four out of five voters believe the A-level results debacle was mishandled by Boris Johnson.

The Daily Mail discovers Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been camping during a holiday in Scotland, rather than have any involvement in efforts to resolve the debacle around A-level results.

The Daily Mail leads with the death of a 16-year-old boy, whose body was found washed up on a beach near Calais in France.

The Daily Mail calls Education Secretary Gavin Williamson “the man who won’t take the blame” after the A-level results U-turn.

“Another fine mess” is how the Daily Mail has headlined its story. The paper says the government has made a “humiliating U-turn” on exams and has been a fiasco for the Tories. It asks why the education secretary is still in the job and when the prime minister will “get a grip”.

The Daily Mail asks if GCSE results will be delayed, following calls by senior conservatives to postpone them, after the A-level algorithm ended up downgrading the results of thousands of students last week.

According to the Daily Mail, Gavin Williamson issued a humiliating apology to millions of pupils last night – as fears grew of chaos in the A-level appeals process.
