    Banning Skirts, Meghan Markle and The Sudden and Unexpected Racism of a Former Friend (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    At the beginning of my book The Nuance Drought I talk about a conversation with a very good friend of mine, who thought she was confessing some hideously controversial secret to me the day she told me she ‘didn’t really like Meghan Markle’. She was quick to reassure me that she doesn’t hate the Duchess of Sussex, or think the vitriol she has endured from the media is in any way justified.

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    On Saturday I got a caller to LBC to admit, live on air, that they were happy to see asylum seekers drown in the channel.I’ve posted a segment of the conversation here.

    Reform Mega Donations Scandal - Why it Matters (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    This weekend we learned that two crypto billionaires - Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo - donated £72 million to the Reform Party in 48 hours. These kinds of mega donations are unprecedented. Reform were already the most donated-to party in the UK (approximately £34 million over the past year, twice what Labour has received). Yet, listening to my colleagues on LBC discussing this news story throughout the course of the day, I was struck by the number of callers who didn’t think it was a
