Benjamin Zephaniah Obituary: one of Britain’s most recognised and outspoken literary voices
By Arjun Seth After receiving the BBC News app notification announcing Benjamin Zephaniah’s death last Thursday, I could only think back to my conversation with him last October when I interviewed him for Black History Month in Edition 854. That morning he was generous with his time to speak to Palatinate.
Backchat: Environmental Politics
In response to ‘The Guardian view on Rishi Sunak and net zero: a cowardly retreat‘: By Arjun Seth The Guardian’s editorial (dated June 2023) describing Sunak’s then position on climate change as a “cowardly retreat” demonstrates just how polarised and deprived of nuance the environmental policymaking debate has become.

Attend the party Harry, even if it’s for your own interest
By Arjun Seth It’s pretty risky writing about Prince Harry these days. I’m quite afraid that anything written here could land me an unwanted mention in a new Disney Plus tell-all or Amazon series detailing his and Meghan’s struggles adapting to life in one of the world’s wealthiest neighbourhoods. However, his potential absence from May’s Coronation is something I find quite shocking.
Oriental Museum celebrates Hindu festival of Holi
By Arjun Seth Durham University’s Oriental Museum is set to host its annual Holi Festival celebration next week with an event on Wednesday 14th March. Holi, also known as the Hindu festival of Spring and colours, is a two-day festival that celebrates the love and playful nature of the Hindu god, Krishna and his Consort, Radha. Officially celebrated this year on Wednesday 8th March, Hindus around the globe have marked the event by participating in traditional powder throwing and rangoli drawings.
Grey Says Goodbye To Its ‘Barquee’ As It Prepares To Move Into New Bar
By Arjun Seth After nearly a year of refurbishment and building works, Grey College are set to move back into their original bar in the main College building this week. During the time of the refurbishment works, the College bar has been based in a white marquee tent on the College lawn – leading many to refer to it informally as the ‘barquee’.
Emily in Durham
Arjun Seth As we are now well into term-time, and have many a deadline looming, I thought it would be fun to imagine how our lockdown pal, Emily Cooper, would enjoy some time away as a second year student in Durham. Swapping beret for puffer jacket, heels for white trainers and boulangerie for Greggs’, our pandemic alter ego, Emily, is ready to take on the North-East. Let’s hope the producers don’t read this before I’ve sold the rights and made a buck or two. Paris complete, Duzza next.
Blue under Boehly: who is responsible for Chelsea’s crisis?
By Arjun Seth When Todd Boehly and his consortium bought Chelsea in May last year, many of us Blues fans jumped with joy. After the golden Roman Abramovich era suddenly ended overnight, the club was left desperately seeking its new identity. Reading about Boehly’s remarkable turnaround of the LA Dodgers meant I expected a natural continuation of the decades of success Chelsea fans have been treated to since the turn of the century.
Trump’s Superman is the first, prepare for Captain Rishi
By Arjun Seth Just before Christmas-shopping got underway, Donald Trump unveiled his festive offering in the form of $99 NFT cards featuring him cast as various superheroes – from Superman to someone far, far away from reality in outer space; some perhaps were more accurate than others.
Allister Heath: “Have the ideas first and execute them before anyone else!”
By Arjun Seth Allister Heath is the editor of The Sunday Telegraph and weekly columnist for the daily paper. Having started off as a curious student who sent articles to The Wall Street Journal “just to see if they would get published”, he has become one of the nation’s most prominent journalists and commentators. We meet at The Telegraph’s London office where work is buzzing after Rishi Sunak has just delivered a keynote speech setting out his plans for the year.
Qatar’s World Cup makes us grateful for what we have in the West
By Arjun Seth Yes, it is mindboggling ridiculous that arguably the world’s greatest show is taking place, not just at inconvenient viewing times (who will be able to tune in at 10 am for Argentina vs Saudi Arabia?), but in a tiny Gulf state home to just a couple of million people (most of whom are ex-pats) and with a footballing pedigree smaller than Darlington’s. The reported human rights abuses, notably in the case of migrant workers, rightly cause for concern.
Mayor Ben Houchen: “Us politicians have egos, but everyone has limits”
By Arjun Seth We convene on an afternoon Zoom call. With his southern colleagues busy across the board, be it plugging our nation’s finances or eating a kangaroo’s anus in a jungle; Ben Houchen is focused and with a union jack in the background, eager to tell me about levelling up and what’s changing on Teesside.
Heading for street: how Durham’s food market is evolving
By Arjun Seth When I first arrived in Durham in Autumn 2021 and learnt that a local Prêt did not exist, I was simply devastated. Having been misled (quite literally) by an outdated Google Maps to its former site on Silver Street, I felt confused about how I would navigate the upcoming year without a classic Swedish meatball wrap in hand and my free organic coffee guaranteed by the priceless purchase that is a Prêt monthly membership.
Abda Khan: “When you want something badly enough, you will find a way”
By Arjun Seth Abda Khan is an award-winning lawyer turned novelist with an inspiring story. One of eight siblings, she was the first person in her family to study beyond the age of 16, obtain A-Levels and go to university to train as a lawyer. She is now a novelist, lawyer and public speaker and recently appeared at the Durham Union’s Feminism evening panel to discuss her experiences and new literature. She talks to Profile about her upbringing, breaking into the writing world and Thomas Hardy.
Benjamin Zephaniah: “I can make people think and change their minds”
By Arjun Seth We convene virtually to chat over Zoom on a late Tuesday morning. In typical Zephaniah style, Benjamin is laid-back, smiling and ready to chat. “You’re the first person I’ve spoken to all morning so forgive me for going on,” he laughs. Zephaniah’s canon is exceptional, and he is widely known for his dub style inspired by reggae and oral tradition.
In conversation with Sir Anthony Seldon
By Arjun Seth We arrange to speak over the phone on an early Wednesday morning. Anthony (“please don’t call me Sir,” he insists) is in a hurry – he is currently working on two new books that will hit the shelves next Spring. The first is called Past Peace – “it is about the path I am creating with colleagues across Northern Europe from Switzerland up to the North Sea along the Western front.
The Impact of NFTs on the Art Industry
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have been a hot topic of discussion for over a year now. While lots of discourse has been about NFTs from an investor’s standpoint, an artist’s perspective on these digital assets has been left in the shadows. These two perspectives, however, are linked, and understanding NFTs from an artist’s perspective could help us understand their true financial value going forward.
