Making his mark

Keir Starmer tough ?  Just look at Mark Damazer go.  Less than a month into his new six-year-deal as chair of the Booker Prize Foundation, former Beeboid Mark has moved to rid the organisation of all honorary offices, which handily sheds Baroness (Emma) Nicholson. The Baroness has continued to express views on transgender issues, and Mark's board said "The issues are complex, but our principles are clear.  We deplore racism, homophobia and transphobia – and do not discriminate on any grounds."

Toughest job at the Foundation ?  Writing the Board minutes. Deciphering the combination of aperçus from Mark and Jim Naughtie must be harder than knitting socks from al dente linguine dressed with olive oil and garlic.
