The Walliams era has been one of the darkest times for children's books: a celebrity's side-hustle being promoted over heartfelt, challenging and sincere work by writers who saw this as their life's work. His rising tide lifted no other boats.

I’m old enough to remember a time when this - just this alone - would be the kind of scandal that would drag on for months.
As things are now, I wonder whether anyone will even bother to write it up.

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.
He's been on Question Time once.
Nigel Farage, 44 times.
Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.
