Academic and writer on work and employment relations.
It's a great book. Highly recommended.
Been reading this today, in case you're in any need of actual knowledge about London rather than the usual drivel that passes for comment on the UK's capital.

Don’t underestimate the influence of External Examiners saying “I think markers could use the full spread of marks more” to give them something to say at Exam Boards
Also; when I was at Durham, it was understood that it was *impossible* to score more than 78 on an assignment and 72 was *really good*. Work was done to use the fuller range of grades during my time. This was both a good thing and will see an increase in 1sts.
incentives are fun

Headline translation: Multi-millionaire who bought farm to take advantage of tax break, upset he will lose tax break. 🤷🏻♂️
The same newspapers who scream increases in the NMW will damage the economy, are happy to go to the barricades for a tax break for Clarkson, Dyson & friends.
