The latest edition of tutor2u’s hugely popular digital Politics magazine First Past the Post is online now. This month FPTP features articles on a wide range of topical issues by a team of writers who are all experienced teachers aware of the need to provide informative and accessible material.

FPTP articles are great for background reading to help students keep up-to-date with the fast moving world of politics, but their sharp focus and one side of A4 approach mean they are perfect as a basis for discussion at the start or end of lessons.
