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
Electoral reform could kill the Labour Party (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s the announcement that may just kill off the Labour Party as we know it – a national commission on electoral reform. Andy Burnham told the Labour party conference that he would fight the next election on a pledge to change how the nation votes. In the past he has indicated a preference for proportional representation. He’s not the first Labour Party leader to make this promise (Blair’s 1997 manifesto pledge springs to mind), but, for now, let’s take him at his word. Unlike the Greens and the
Emma Cline and the perverse silence of dying (opens the original)
Read excerpt
David Hastings, the retired corporate executive protagonist of Switzy, Emma Cline’s new, Booker Prize longlisted novel, always carries a small leather notebook in his jacket pocket.

His 30-something assistant Cody is “the real keeper of

Read excerpt
With some surprise, I recently discovered that I have acquired something quite remarkable: status. How did this happy development come about, I hear you ask? Through wealth or fame, professional achievement or acts of charity? No, of course not. I acquired this magical virtue simply by entering a new aspirational class of people: those with more than one child. As Vicky Spratt documented in her recent New Statesman cover story, in 1997 the average age of a first-time mother was just over 26. Tod
Donald Trump is sick of his job (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Republicans in Washington often speak with a wistful air about Donald Trump’s first term. The reminisces are simple: a decent economy, strong borders and no new foreign wars. Of course, there was the bombast and craziness that upended the usual way that presidents composed themselves, as well as weekly scandals, and the two impeachments. But some consider that a necessary jolt to establishment malaise, a defibrillation of the American political system. Others wish there was more disruption. Thes
