The suggestion that applicants from top fee paying schools are somehow naturally 'higher quality' than applicants from state schools is vile classism.

If you manage to get 3 x A* despite having class sizes of 25-30, no private tuition, and no family pal to mentor you through the application system, I’d argue you might be the highest quality applicant there is.

He refuses to call it genocide — because even acknowledging the risk would trigger legal duties and raise serious questions about complicity and criminal liability.

Instead we get mealy-mouthed theatrics from this PM.

It is a genocide and the UK is actively facilitating it.

wrote about Helen Garner’s very moving diaries for the latest issue of @TheLondonMag

[The London Magazine @TheLondonMag]

'These are no pared-back autobiographies, but messy, uneven texts. In Garner’s case, they retain their spontaneity and candour because she never composed them for publication.'

Number 9 is a review of Annie Ernaux' 'A Woman's Story' (@FitzcarraldoEds) by @LucyThynne.

'Ernaux writes as though she is not writing but unearthing something that already exists.'
