“Labour’s stubbornness over the two-child limit shows the stranglehold “fiscal rules” now has. The doctrine is less helpful discipline and more reminiscent of a cult, a dead-eyed chant that blinkers the leadership from morality or common sense.” My col. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Really awful news. Agnes was a wonderful person. I mostly knew her through the UCU. We also shared a passion for music in general and especially for Patti Smith. Everyone at Nottingham will miss her warmth and her humanity. My very best to her friends and family.

I was going to say it's a great holiday book, but it will work just as well for birthdays and Christmas. Really enjoying it. A very sharp and funny man.
