Farage is clearly struggling â I saw that for myself. But his legacy will be a poison that runs deep | Andy Beckett (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The mood at the Reform conference was volatile and brittle. But the forces massing further to the right of the party are testament to its impact For much of the time since Nigel Farage resumed the Reform UK leadership two long years ago, his party has been an island of relative stability in the increasingly rough sea of British politics. While other parties plunged queasily in the polls, messily purged dissidents, argued publicly about their direction and changed leaders, Farage dominated Reform
The pressure on Burnham to appease the right is huge. But now is the time to step out of Reformâs shadow | Andy Beckett (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A scandal-besieged Reform still has a loyal base that wonât budge. That should free up the PM to deliver some home truths Despite the bright start to Andy Burnhamâs premiership, and Reform UKâs sudden disarray, a shadow still hangs over British centre-left politics. Labour has a small poll lead, a cautious air of confidence and a leader who seems energised rather than overwhelmed by trying to solve the countryâs problems.

Read excerpt
Weather forecasts once gave Britons something safe to chat about. Not any more, and thatâs a problem for the experts â indeed, for all of us In this fragmented but supposedly mild country, watching and talking about the weather forecast is meant to be a reassuring, unifying activity. Collectively, we have created and maintained a national climate narrative of small disappointments and pleasures. The first weather forecaster to appear on British TV, George Cowling, made his debut on the BBC i
Lime bikes hurtling around the city: is this the revenge of a priced-out generation? | Andy Beckett (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From running red lights to dumping bikes, some Lime users get a bad rap. But many who grumble about them don’t appreciate their own privilege The night belongs to Lime bikes in the capital this summer. Buses and tube carriages are boiling, cars crawl between low traffic neighbourhoods and Thames Water roadworks, and pedestrians plod through the sticky heat. But Lime riders exist in a different, breezier realm: whirring along, chatting in pairs or blissfully alone, weaving through the city’s tree
