Tyson Fury has revealed that he enjoyed a "surprise" phone call from former President Donald Trump over the weekend. The heavyweight British boxer had been due to meet Trump following his success in a February 2020 rematch against Deontay Wilder—but his planned trip to the White House was called off amid the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic. And as Fury prepares for an October 9 bout against Wilder, bringing a close to their scintillating trilogy, the World Boxing Council belt holder took to his Instagram Story to reveal that he'd just interacted with Trump. "Just got off the phone with Donald Trump," he posted, per The Sun . "What a nice surprise from my pal Hughie Vuitton. Thanks boys enjoy your lunch guys." Following Fury's victory over Wilder in 2020, Trump said: "That was a great fight. Two great fighters. It was really very exciting. "Maybe we have to bring them both to the White House, I don't know, because that was really a good one. In fact, I think we'll do …

In all this discussion around student grades and how they’ve been decided by data, one uncomfortable truth has been left out: algorithms have been used by Ofqual for a decade already. This may come as a surprise. But that demonstrates how little  is known of how the examining system works - and more pertinently how little anyone outside it has really worried before. You may not have approved of GCSE or A-level results in the past, you may have complained of grade inflation or about this or that board.  But how closely have you - or most people including politicians - looked before? So let me share with you some inside knowledge. I have been involved in examining for 45 years as an examiner, Principal Examiner and Chief Examiner.

In an election that's left people feeling uneasy about the validity of the vote tallies that could make Donald Trump a one-term president, Republicans are pushing for the attorney general to step in and take action. Vote counts coming out of key battleground states point to a victory for former Vice President Joe Biden and if the Associated Press' calling of Arizona in his favor stands, Biden's only six electoral votes shy of becoming president. However, Trump has far from given up hopes of a second term and maintains that if only "legal" ballots are counted, he would be the winner outright. Thirty-nine Republican members of Congress sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Friday with two questions on their mind: "What are you doing to ensure the integrity of the voting and counting process right now?" and "Will you commit to using all the resources at your disposal to ensure that only legal votes are being counted and being counted in a fully transparent manner …
