Celebrity Traitors has tamed our national id (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Television used to hold a mirror up to the nation. When X-Factor was at the height of its powers in the late 2000s, this was a land of optimists who understood the moral of Simon Cowell’s universe: the right amount of talent, ambition and cruelty could take anyone to the stratosphere, or at least a brief stint at Christmas number one. The difficulties of the intervening decade stamped out that mode of aspiration, naturally. And, well, who has spoken of X-Factor since 2012? And so, if mainstream
No sex please, we're classicists (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ikea, Sudoku grandmasters, Ken Livingstone, quadratic equations, chancery law, John Lewis, the Tu clothing range at Sainsbury’s, matcha lattes, suet. This is a non-comprehensive list of things that are somehow sexier than a new non-fiction title, Aphrodisia: Women, Sex and Pleasure in the Classical World by Dr Jean Menzies (she insists on the “Dr”). In fact, we might contend that there is nothing less sexy than writing non-fiction pop academia about sex. That the hyper-sexual often enters the re
Nigel Farage's oyster politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
July, 2026: “Oysters please!” Nigel Farage chirped in the garden of a seafood restaurant somewhere near Clacton-on-Sea. One has to wonder how many times he’s said those exact words in his 62 years – more than a few dozen, I suspect. A man’s proximity to the British right is almost perfectly correlated to his affection for crustaceans, mollusks and flaky fish. He should have known, then, that there were interlopers in his ranks. In Reform: Exposed by Channel 4 and Verbatim Farage is caught on hid
Andy Burnham mentioned an Irish border poll, and here's what happened next (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tuesday, and the Irish (the Republic of Irish) announced Sonja Hyland as the new Ambassador to Great Britain. Were you to examine the response of the Britishers – or perhaps that should be United Kingdomish – you might reasonably have concluded that the good people of Eire had appointed Hyland as the new Ambassador to Mordor, or Democratic Kampuchea. Great Britain is the incorrect designation for the entire country formally known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, you s
Andy Burnham's cultural revolution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Take your tie off, throw out your textbooks, load up TikTok – we do things a little differently around here. And c’mon son, no handshakes, have a hug, you’re Chancellor of the Exchequer now. Hello, I’m Andy Burnham and welcome to Burnham’s Britain. The sound you hear? That’s just track nine from the Oasis album Dig Out Your Soul, “Ain’t Got Nothin’”. I bought it at Piccadilly Records and I am playing it because, well, we do things a little differently around here. No, really, get the tie off! It
