@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Please explain why David Lammy and Peter Mandelson feel the need to brown nose Trump. I get why for diplomatic reasons they may not attack him but surely silence is more honest than u- turn toadying up to the orange toad wrecking ball of western democracy?

Brilliant resource! I often suggest to teachers they use Drafts from the British library to explore the editing process and power of editing with students. Thankyou 🙏🏼
For anyone who's read VARJAK PAW and wants to know how it was written - or anyone interested in writing - here's a free resource I made for the British Library, sharing pages from 7 different drafts. You can have a lot of fun showing this to a class!
