Meanwhile at the New Statesman

How has the magazine been getting on since it decided it could manage without my services?

The new Private Eye provides us with a clue:

Insiders at the New Statesman confirm that although editor Jason Cowley earns a handsome six-figure salary, around a third of his staff are unpaid interns. A review of their jobs board confirms that their soon-to-be-launched sister mag, Charity Insight, plans to staff itself from a rolling stock of unpaid interns with no guaranteed job at the end.

Socialism in action.
