My review of Nick Gibb's Reforming Lessons is now available on @yorkshirebylines.co.uk:

"This book unavoidably feels like a desperate attempt by a long-standing minister to safeguard his legacy from the reality of the education system he left behind"

My take on why everyone should come to #Bradford2025 to see #TurnerPrize - even frequent TP visitors are finding something fresh & new in #Bradford - but it’s attracting artistically unseasoned eyes, too.
Brilliant art, brilliant setting, all in brilliant Bradford!
