Iain Dale: Davey is the new LibDem leader. But only 57 per cent of his party’s members could be bothered to vote.

Plus: Any Questions, Cross Question, why Williamson and Gibb should go – and why Johnson’s masks policy isn’t a U-turn.

The Education Secretary must lead school openings in less than a month. Which is why his Department needs new leadership now.

Johnson will almost certainly decide to tough it out. But he will have a big problem if school returns prove tricky.

Ministers and Ofqual have hospital-passed the exam fiasco to universities and colleges

Over to them goes the problem of sorting the future of an inrush of students brandishing far better results than were expected.

Why injustices to school students haven’t sparked a revolt by Tory backbenchers. So far.

Many will now be asking whether Williamson is in a position to lead the crucial return to school in only a few weeks time.

Nick Gibb: Fair grades for A Levels and GCSEs, and congratulations to the students

We have worked with Ofqual to put in place the best possible system.

Robert Halfon: Britain is now a moderate social democratic state

John Bald: Labour’s education policy of hiding failings by abolishing tests and independent inspection is the way of the ostrich

But there remains important unfinished business for the Conservatives to carry out – if we get the opportunity.

Strangely subdued

The mood of this conference has been supportive but apprehensive. And now we are finally seeing the outlines of Johnson’s negotiating plan.

Progressive Conservative reformers 1) Gove, “the most important Education Secretary since Butler”

Even Corbyn’s Labour is wary of assaulting his free school and academy legacy directly.

Johnson’s ministerial appointments

We’ll continue to update this as the Prime Minister fills out the lower ranks of his government.

Robert Halfon: Skills, social justice, standards, and support for teachers. A four-part manifesto for the new Prime Minister.

By extending the ladder of opportunity to those who currently lack it, e can ensure the next generation climbs it.

Which MP is backing which candidate. Our named estimates. Johnson 131, Hunt 48, Gove 36, Javid 22

Here’s our best stab at who is voting for whom, and this list will be updated each morning, as the contest continues.
