TONIGHT! This is our biggest event yet, celebrating not only all the outstanding entries to this year's Stephen Spender Prize, but also the Trust's wider work with young people in classrooms across the UK. More multilingual voices than ever before, beamed straight to you💌

In 2016, I chaired the International Booker Prize @BookerPrizes: when #TheVegetarian won, media scoffers ridiculed our choice of an 'obscure' Korean. But readers loved it. Now, thanks to @NobelPrize, many more will discover this unique vision and voice. Congratulations @HanKang!

@GeraldineBrodie @ArtsHumsUCL @CenTraS_UCL Dear @GeraldineBrodie I am so sorry I will miss your inaugural lecture on Translation on Stage. I was very excited and looking very much forward to it but, unfortunately, I have to be in Brussels for work related issues. Congratulations and good luck 🥂👏

Announcing the shortlist for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation in 2023!

"This year’s eclectic shortlist travels far and wide – not only in the cultural and linguistic background of the authors chosen but in the genres and forms they use."

If you’re in need of a smile I offer you the Finnish word ‘kalsarikänni’. It means drinking at home, alone, and in your underwear.

Richard Sharp is a former Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan banker and former adviser to Boris Johnson who has donated huge sums to the Tory Party - we should therefore be very worried about the future of the BBC. M'while presenters such as Emily Maitlis made the corp world-leading.
