Who really baked this cake? Man City, Abu Dhabi and the 115 charges (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every August, in a marquee in the Northamptonshire village I used to live in, three retired headmistresses judge the village cake competition. It is the most ferociously contested fixture in the rural calendar, more political than a Tory leadership race and with considerably better catering. For nine years running, the rosette went to the same entrant. Her sponges were flawless: risen like a soufflé, jam laid with a spirit level, not a crumb out of place. The rest of us produced the sort of thin
Not a policy, just a ringtone: the UK wildfire alert and net zero policy clash noisier than the Royal Albert Hall's organ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An entire nation shot two feet into the air. At the Royal Albert Hall, one imagines the Proms audience concluding that Russia had hacked every handset in the stalls to give the 1812 Overture an unusually literal opening. In a thousand pub gardens, overlooking lawns the colour and texture of a digestive biscuit, men quietly lowered bags of charcoal back into their boots with the practised calm of getaway drivers returning the loot. It was a severe alert. Very high risk of wildfires nationally, it
Please remain seated: Westminster's war on vertical drinking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By the second pint we had solved the skills crisis, where Spurs will finish next season and I’d advised him on his new electric car purchase. The doors were open, the crowd had spilled politely onto the pavement, and for ninety minutes the British economy was doing exactly what it says on the tin. However, it turns out I was part of the problem. Buried in Westminster City Council’s new draft licensing policy, out for consultation until five o’clock this evening, is a desire for West End venues t
Eat up and get out: why dawdling diners are killing UK restaurants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A couple had arrived at his place at one o’clock on Saturday, ordered a burrata to share, one sea bass, a single glass of picpoul and a jug of tap water, and were still there at ten past five. He knows this precisely because in the intervening hours he had turned every other table in the room twice, sent the kitchen home for its break and started laying up for dinner, and there they still were in the window, gazing at each other across the wreckage of a shared crème brûlée. Four hours. One fish.
Cabinet on sun loungers? Andy Burnham's Love Island premiership (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Because on Monday, while the rest of us were getting on with the unglamorous business of a normal week, our new Prime Minister was making an entrance. Andy Burnham did not walk into Number 10 so much as arrive at it, chin up, grin wide, working the cameras with the swagger of a man strolling into a villa in Mallorca rather than a draughty Westminster terrace with a famously temperamental boiler. And here is the part that stopped me cold. This was not a leak. It was not some cruel edit stitched t
