Trump spake bollcoks obvs. But there are lies on all sides. This 17 mins from Jefferey Sachs is well worth a watch to understand how we got where we are now. It's from last October at the Cambridge Union: youtu.be/0Bl6_MAhg_4?...

It's all so black and white isn't it. I found this from Jeffrey Sachs quite interesting. Maybe you could get him on LBC? youtu.be/oiQgasSJ-UI

There must be an official line on this, surely? Is it about "maintaining standards over time" or something like that?

Maybe they realise they'd struggle to find teachers to meet the demand if bringing MFL grading into line with other subjects meant it was no longer seen as a "hard" GCSE and demand increased (Especially after you know what)
