almost 4 years in Standard
Welcome back to the Londoner’s Diary. Literary agent Peter Cox says criticising Judith Kerr’s The Tiger Who Came To Tea for using antiquated stereotypes could have chilling consequences for the publishing industry. Later, Channel 5’s Ben Frow shares his inability to break the habit of commissioning royal documentaries, and comic Isy Suttie mourns the loss of a papier-mâché penguin. In SW1A, Harriet Harman tells us why Penny Mordaunt should be helping liaise with women in Afghanistan and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall joins the Green Party.
