Rishi Sunak is considering a major reform of A-levels in England which could see the introduction of a new “British baccalaureate”.

The prime minister’s plans could include the compulsory study of maths and English up to the age of 18, according to newspaper reports.

The shake-up of A-levels would be controversial - but no final decision has been taken.

Labour said the proposals were an “undeliverable gimmick”.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if he is considering jumping off a high building. He’s smarter than his two predecessors and must know the game is up and nothing he does at this point matters. They probably play games where they pick a name out of a hat and that person has 30s to come up with a policy to get onto the news.
