After 22 years of training brilliant young journalists at three great teaching centres, I’m taking a break from teaching.

Today is my last day at City, University of London. I’m taking a break before consultancy work.

Thanks to my great students and colleagues.

Onwards!

🚨 10 days left to join us as a staff writer or editor in London.

It's going to be an amazing team. We need more NY-style journalism over here.

Govt resuscitating PFI folly.

For £1 of public investment it wants £3 from private sector. How much will be repaid from public purse?

For £60bn of PFI, £306bn paid back.

Cheaper for govt for borrow than private sector. It can create money, tax the rich.

@DannyGar I hope you waggled the remote in your hand at vast speed while you watched, to emulate the joystick playing Daley Thompson Decathlon

A THREAD: it’s now exactly a week since the worst #GeneralElection defeat in the 190-year history of the Conservative Party, & over the past 7 days I’ve been truly amazed at how little blame has gone the way of Boris Johnson. (1/9)

astonishing that the Thames Water chief executive got a £195,000 bonus bonus for *three months" of work, even as the company struggles to avoid nationalisation

@Finders73 Also the system is so broken they have nothing to lose!

[Ben Falk @benfalkwriter]

What an absolutely brilliant decision. Wow. Colour me impressed

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

James Timpson OBE @JamesTCobbler has been appointed Minister of State (Minister for Prisons, Parole and Probation) in the Ministry of Justice @MoJGovUK.

[Ben Falk @benfalkwriter]

@Finders73 It would a weird appointment if they didn’t. Because he’s not an MP and has no reason not to push the leadership or speak out.
