If you asked me, off the top of my head, to name a non-Oxbridge university in England synonymous with excellence in the Humanities - I would probably think of Exeter first. This feels like a very deliberate, targeted and ideological Bonfire of the Humanities

'About 150 academic roles are set to go at the south-west institution, which said it was targeting areas that are “no longer sustainable” or have seen changes in student demand.' History and English are name-checked. 1/3

1/2 New book of interest to sports historians: Chris Hunt's Escape from Holland (Mile Away). It tells the story of a weekend in May 1940 as a disparate group of English footballing migrants in the Netherlands, centred on ex-international Billy Marsden, try to get out ahead of the German invasion.

The front cover of a book, being held in my left hand with a full bookcase behind. The cover, in shades of red blue, and monochrome, is a montage featuring a steamship on the sea, a Luftwaffe dive bomber above it, and photographs of a white male footballer in a white shirt, and a white female dancer in ballet costume. The text on the cover reads 'ESCAPE FROM HOLLAND The dash for the last British boat out of Holland in May 1940, a thrilling true story of football, ballet, journalism and war CHRIS HUNT'
