Mr Neil was clearly unimpressed with the performance of the Education Secretary on BBC Breakfast and took to Twitter to criticise his performance. The BBC journalist rattled off a barrage of questions on Twitter that he wants answered by Mr Williamson.  

Mr Neil tweeted: “The whole interview was painful to watch.

“Whatever the question he just repeated his talking points ad nauseam, rehearsed and robotic.”

In a separate tweet the BBC journalist wrote: “Gavin Williamson: You claim Ofqual assured you its system was robust, despite what happened in Scotland.

“Did you have your experts interrogate that claim? If not, why not?

“If you and your experts concurred with Ofqual, doesn’t that make you directly responsible for this shambles?

“If you were forced into your U-turn because Ofqual misled you, why are no heads rolling at Ofqual?

“So another scandal at the heart of Government for which nobody will be fired?

“Have you offered your resignation to the PM? If not, why not? Answer the question!”

Earlier this monring Gavin Williamson received a savage grilling from Sky News host Niall Paterson on the A-level exam result fiasco that affected 40 percent of students’ results.

“The Education Select Committee took evidence back in June about the negative effects this system would have on disadvantaged students.

“They published the report in July, saying there was a risk it would lead to unfair bias and discrimination against already disadvantaged groups.

“There was modelling showing 40 percent of A-level results would be affected by this system in a negative fashion back in July as well.

“The idea that you were not aware of this until the weekend simply does not stand up.

“Your ignorance is not a defence here Mr Williamson, in fact it appears to be the biggest crime.”
