Delicate decadence
A tantalising selection of songs

A disappointing new collection
St. Vincent
The acclaim is excessive but the talent undeniable
What does it mean to be Christian?
We are in danger of reducing faith to the shallow depths of personality and politics
The great migration
What will Twitter do without its smuggest inhabitants?
Could there be a Reform revolution?
Reform’s Welsh Conference brimmed with optimism — but can that be translated into success?
The first victim of empire
England is an ongoing casualty of the British imperial project
The horror of 7 October on film
The killers’ headset footage, CCTV, interviews with survivors and heart-rending last messages
Donald Trump doesn’t know what a woman is, either
Believing that the sexes are different does not mean appreciating their humanity in full
Excluding Imran Khan is cowardly and wrong
Oxford University has made a serious mistake
Tawdry tales
The Tales of Hoffmann, Royal Opera House
Why was a foreign rapist in Britain?
The sad background to a horrific case
The authorities are inept sheriffs of social media
Politicians, the police and the judiciary should stop trying to control a landscape they do not understand
