A former mandarin with “no economic experience” is on course to be appointed to the Bank of England’s board after civil servants told the Chancellor she would “make a strong contribution to improving diversity and inclusion”. Dame Clare Moriarty, a former permanent secretary of the environment department, has been selected by Nadhim Zahawi, having been lined up by Rishi Sunak before his resignation last month . A source close to Mr Sunak denied that any of his special advisers carried out due diligence checks on Dame Clare. But a government source criticised the decision to put her forward for the role amid the growing cost of living crisis and pressure over the Bank’s handling of inflation. On Friday, Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business Secretary, warned that “something has gone wrong” at Threadneedle Street and, writing for The Telegraph , Liz Truss said the spike in inflation was “exacerbated by monetary policy”.

Screen time more dangerous for children than activities in Swallows and Amazons, warn academics
Spending hours staring at screens is a more dangerous pastime than the perilous activities carried out by the children in Swallows and Amazons , academics have said. The author of the first ever full-length study of Arthur Ransome’s classic adventure novel claims too much time surfing the net is far more deadly than sailing at night without a life jacket, because it fails to teach children how to fend for themselves or take risks. Julian Lovelock, the former dean of arts and pro vice-chancellor of the University of Buckingham , where he lectured on Ransome, said children were spending increasing amounts of time using "gadgets and gizmos" and were not living in the real world. “Sailing at night without life-jackets, wrecking their dinghy through a foolhardy misjudgement, crossing the stormy North Sea in a small boat, confronting the urban Hullaballoos: today’s health and safety police would have had apoplexy," he said. "But it’s worth pondering whether the challenges … [Read more...] about Screen time more dangerous for children than activities in Swallows and Amazons, warn academics
