On this day: Concorde first breaks the sound barrier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this day, the 1st October, in 1969, Concorde first showed off its real party trick, writes Eliot Wilson in the latest instalment of his on this day series It was unusually windy around Toulouse on Wednesday 1 October 1969, the vent d’Autan blowing from the south-east. Its unpredictable gusts and changes in air pressure could drive people insane. Quand l’autan boufa, les bous d’Albi dancent, said the old Occitan proverb. When the Autan blows, the madmen of Albi dance. At Toulouse-Blagnac Airpo
Burnham must kill off bonkers Chagos deal for good (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Andy Burnham should pull the plug, says Eliot Wilson It became clear early in Sir Keir Starmer’s brief premiership that here was a leader of unusual political clumsiness.

Read excerpt
Burnham must accept what Starmer wouldn’t: The EU’s just not that into us, writes Eliot Wilson Andy Burnham has done his best to represent change since succeeding Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister on 20 July. As he is from the same party, was elected leader unopposed and there has not been a general election to separate his reign from Starmer’s, it is not an easy task. He has pledged to “build a new politics”, to “make a break” from the old ways, to change his party’s “political direction”, to
