This is the first time in my adult life that I’ve not felt sick about results day (apart from that one year when I was pregnant and felt sick for other reasons!)
I still remember that anxiety though, and I’m hoping the exam goddesses bless you all with fantastic results!

Look at Labour’s cruel attitude towards disability benefits, then tell me Keir Starmer cares about 'human dignity' | John Harris
These proposed cuts will turn people’s lives into a nightmare. No wonder they are scared about where this all might lead, says Guardian columnist John Harris
