  <title>Letters to the editor: Hinkley - masterstroke or mistake?</title>

  <description><![CDATA[Coming up with a mix of energy infrastructure which could replace Hinkley C at a much lower cost is not challenging. Onshore wind is currently the cheapest energy source in the UK. The price of solar power, already much lower than nuclear power from Hinkley C, is dropping the fastest. Offshore wind can now cost the same, even with back-up power for when the wind isn&apos;t blowing.]]></description>

  <title>Evening Standard comment: London eats out: one economic indicator</title>
  <link>http://www.standard.co.uk/comment/comment/evening-standard-comment-london-eats-out-one-economic-indicator-a3346746.html</link>
  <description><![CDATA[London has its own economic indicators and the number of new restaurant openings — and the willingness of Londoners to eat in them — is one. On that basis, it&apos;s possible to assert that life not only continues after Brexit, but that there&apos;s scope for guarded optimism. The number of recent and planned restaurant openings is now running far ahead of 2015, as we report today. There were 21 in August compared with 14 last year, and 32 new restaurants are due to open this month, sharply up from 22 in September 2015 with more to follow in the autumn. Post-Brexit, London is still going out.]]></description>

  <title>Dan Jones: Bogus logic is no reason to revive grammar schools</title>
  <link>http://www.standard.co.uk/comment/comment/dan-jones-bogus-logic-is-no-reason-to-revive-grammar-schools-a3346666.html</link>
  <description><![CDATA[Like the Prime Minister, Theresa May, I only got where I am today because I went to grammar school. Perhaps you had guessed. There are, after all, a few grammar school &quot;tells&quot;, including a slightly superior manner, a basic understanding of English verbs and certain Shakespeare plays, and a deep-seated chippiness towards people who went to public school and thus managed to get a proper education without the warping need to pass a stressful exam at the age of 11.]]></description>
