In this month’s Teach Secondary column I wonder whether the bit of history I was taught at A Level ought to be put in the part of the curriculum everyone does before year 9 so the population would better understand what populism and propaganda looks like…

Making economic growth the overriding purpose, to which all else must be sacrificed, not only trashes ecological and social values. It's also spectacularly bad politics. Governments can't control growth, but when it dips, this government, by its own criteria, fails. A rod for its own back.
