🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham dances on stage to True Faith by New Order after he's announced as Labour leader

In this week’s Spectator, I call for the one in four of us who are allegedly disabled to shut up about it 👇



William Dalrymple says that children 'don't learn' about the British Empire at school. It is an 'elephant in the room', he claimed on the Green party leader Zack Polanski's Bold Politics podcast last week. This isn't true. I learnt about the Empire at school. Studying A-level history a decade ago, we spent a year covering the Raj. The Indian Mutiny, 1857. The Amritsar Massacre, 1919. On viciously cold mornings, my teacher, Ms Pearmain, would open the windows and say that boys' brains were slowed by comfort. It kept her lessons in my head. ✍️ Max Jeffery Article | spectator.com/article/the-tr…
