Very much agree with a lot of that, but we must think very carefully about how those pupils taking the brunt of this, of this big kick in their life chances, are not made to suffer more. If we need to take a pause, and those due to take life changing tests of their ability do not do so until some point in the future, that needs very careful planning.
Such forward planning, or thinking, is I fear, very much beyond the capability of our current Sec of State for Education.
