The third degree

Back page gossip from the 3 October issue of Research Fortnight.

Labour pains Party conference season is in full swing, and the Third Degree has been doing the rounds of the research and university fringe events so you don’t have to.

The Labour Party conference was held in Liverpool this year, at the Royal Albert Dock. Just across from the conference venue there is a museum dedicated to Liverpool’s fab four, called The Beatles Story. But unfortunately, the first letter had fallen off the last word and Labour delegates were forced to walk past a sign enticing them into an exhibition that on the face of it seemed to be dedicated to Ringo Starr’s years as a Brexit supporter: The Beatles Tory.
