GCSE - problem or solution for post-16?

Politics and GCSE are this week's theme.  It started when Ofqual released a clear and pretty unambiguous diagram that showed GCSE 9-1 level 4 was equivalent to grade C. But then Nicky Morgan said level 5 should be considered a good pass.
And then Tristram Hunt of Labour questioned whether the whole thing should be reviewed during this parliament before the CBI finally weighed in last week with direct comments saying GCSEs should be scrapped within 5 years.
