Government accused of trying to scrap Teach First, which has recruited over 20,000 high flying graduates into schools - my piece for @ObserverUK https://t.co/jfVqjF6aXn

[The Bookseller @thebookseller]

Penguin Michael Joseph will delay the publication of The Salt Path author Raynor Winn’s next book, On Winter Hill, following an investigation in the Observer over the weekend that suggested the book was not entirely true 👇 https://t.co/ee3e2Y9feR

[The Observer @ObserverUK]

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with The Salt Path: the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. It became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.

But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.
