    Why are Harry and Meghan putting themselves through all this? (opens the original)

    Moving home is one of the most stressful things you can experience that doesn’t involve ill-health, divorce or bereavement. This is surely all the more true in cases where you are changing not just residence or location, but entirely different continents. So would such a major life event be made more or less stressful, do you think, were it to come accompanied by over a dozen pages of commentary in the Daily Mail? National politics, the climate crisis, the Strait of Hormuz… Every one of them has

    Nigel Farage isn't laughing any more (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The traditional choice after winning an overwhelming victory in a by-election you triggered yourself would be to do some celebratory interviews or, at the very least, to turn up to the count. Nigel Farage, though, took a different path. There was no sign of a promised victory speech; the official line was that he had instead been “partying through the night”. We all know what was going on here – Farage is simply happier hiding among supporters and GB News (if there is still any difference betwee

    The Kemi-naissance is bullshit (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    “Could this,” asked the Telegraph on 19 June, “be the start of a Tory Kemi-naissance?” Camilla Tominey’s column is a little more nuanced than its headline suggests; she has the grace to acknowledge that a similar column about Rishi Sunak, written in May 2024, “aged spectacularly badly”; and if we start mocking columnists just for being publicly and catastrophically wrong, then where will I be? Nonetheless, since variants of this sentiment are often heard in certain circles at present, and since

    Even the Royal Navy can't save Nigel Farage (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Royal Navy has protected our shores from many a terrifying foe down the centuries. Napoleon. The Kaiser. The Nazis. Now, if Reform UK get their way, the lads and lasses in navy blue will be tasked with seeing off what the Mail would have us believe is an even greater threat to Britain: some of the most desperate people on earth, being ferried across the Channel by criminal gangs, using what can only be described as dinghies. Puts the Battle of Jutland into perspective, doesn’t it? Actually,

    At last, a government that looks like it’s trying (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A number of interpretations of Burnhamism can be found on the loose in the wild right now. The take from the right is that he’s an old-style tax-and-spend leftie who’ll lead us to ruin; but since the people pushing this line are defenders of a failed ideology who have neither government’s nor public’s best interests at heart, this we can safely ignore. Another is that it’s just Starmerism with better comms. The retention of Shabana Mahmood at the Home Office, and Bridget Phillipson in the equali
