David Lewis
In defence of the incredulous stare
To argue is to indulge in a practice, with all that this entails
The scourge of EDI
It is patronising, divisive and anti-meritocratic

Still-sparkling gems of an annus mirabilis
Tried and tested novels overlooked in our neophilic rush to the new and wanting
The rise of academentia
Mere transgression is being elevated above genuine insight and creativity
Hush, nepo baby
Such colourful champions of free speech should be treasured rather than ridiculed
Revolution in the Academy
The quest for knowledge, not power, ought to guide academia
Mad dogs and English football
Our memories of hooliganism deserve more nuance
A spy’s afterlife
John le Carré’s work and life still haunt British culture
