Five Things – 20th November

1. I became a teacher at 57. I am learning the hard way — it is brutal, says Lucy Kellaway The Times

2. Is Angela Merkel’s tenure as German chancellor drawing to a close? Financial Times, Wolfgang Munchau

3. Journalist Kevin Myers attacks Leo Varadkar and JK Rowling and claims he was ‘punished like a rapist, paedophile or terrorist’ for controversial Sunday Times column, Leinster Express, Conor Ganly

4. The Earth may not be flat, but it just might be doomed The Guardian, David Mitchell 

5. If Britain were 100 people, Channel 4, Jack Homan 

This is from last year, but it’s brilliant, and definitely still worth a watch. Happy 70th wedding anniversary to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh!
