It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans.
We request privacy at this sad time

What incompetence. What failure of governance. Boris Johnson can't blame Theresa May, he can't blame John Major, he can't blame judges, he can't blame civil servants, he can't sack the Cabinet Secretary again. There's only one person responsible - him. Me in the Commons today:

My inbox continues to swell with awful stories of able, disadvantaged kids who have lost places at prestigious universities after being inexplicably downgraded. For instance, Joanna, who had a place at @PembrokeOxford to read biochemistry. Predicted 3A*. Downgraded to 2A and a B.
