I think there may be something in this - not to excuse fraud, but to better understand the wider consequences of corruption and the decline of standards in public life. Some tough questions from Martha Gill:

🗣️ “Corruption at the top has a knock-on effect on ordinary Britons, whose conduct reflects their moral outrage.” Interesting piece by Martha Gill on the wider impact of corruption in our politics. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

ATTENTION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY JOURNALISTS! Are you interested in writing for the Observer? I am looking for new writers and ideas for the Science & Technology pages of the Observer New Review. For an idea of the types of pieces we publish, please take a look at this thread…

Associate Arts Editor job going at FT Weekend -- for an experienced editor with a wide knowledge of the arts. Deadline on Monday. You'll be working with me (sorry) job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/financialtimes…

EXCL: Ambulances were called out to Amazon warehouses more than 1,400 times in the past five years. Worker suicides were common at sites across the country, as were heart attacks, pregnancy complications and traumatic injuries. My The Observer scoop: theguardian.com/technology/art…

Not sure if 'afraid' is the best choice of word in the headline, but this is a good piece by ⁦Martha Gill⁩ on the innate fairness of exams (over other forms of assessment). Remains a concern to think Peter Hyman is so close to policy.

“The truth is, just under the surface, we Britons are snitchy little prefects, longing to send everyone including ourselves to detention.”

Pleased with my shout out in Hugo Rifkind 's very amusing column today - thanks Hugo thetimes.com/comment/column…

When did it become “left wing” to champion working from home, and “right wing” to urge people back to the office? I think the tribes have got themselves the wrong way round. Me for the Observer: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Martha Gill Bingo - finally someone said it. How odd that one of the more isolating aspects of Covid should be maintained in healthier times.

Support for my birth rates theory! Thank you
