Quite like Burnham but again genuinely interested: how does the Manchesterism narrative square with @_isaacrose compelling analysis of the ‘Manchester model’- that it is in fact new Labour urbanism writ large: developer led gentrification devolved money some bus investment?

1/3 of the way through this, which they’re calling the ‘first great supermarket novel’. Very funny, scabrous, moving…a true sense of the Britain we’re living in

Seeing as I’m apparently terrible at avoiding Twitter, I may as well use it for something good — go read Saul Leslie’s new novel! A brilliant, funny and profound book about working at the supermarket

Implies we should be shocked/surprised that a university student would have a job. More interesting that this perhaps isn’t the norm for media class…
