It’s a great opportunity for a young person interested in current affairs. My colleague @hzeffman, our Washington correspondent, gained his first experience of journalism in this role.
We are looking for an intern to work in our leader writing team this summer. Do you have a passion for politics and current affairs, with a flair for writing? Email [email protected] with a covering letter and CV by March 1. The role is paid and will last six weeks.

Wham! Bam! Don’t miss @Sathnam exclusive interview with @ajridgeley Andrew Ridgeley - @TimesMagazine
For years Andrew Ridgeley was treated as a joke by the tabloids, left in the shadow of bandmate George Michael. But 33 years after Wham! broke up, his memoir tells his side of the story. We meet him in tomorrow's magazine. #andrewridgeley #wham #interview
