In Our Time
Bragg shows what is possible
A show worth the licence fee by itself
Spotify Wrapped is good for the soul
On the joys of exploring a year in music
Bluesky thinking?
The honeymoon phase of the X alternative could be short-lived
Choosing enemies wisely
China manifestly wishes to avenge her past humiliation at Western hands
The big picture
A story of modern Britain, a moral tale, of venality, hubris and fraud
Is “love is love” only for white people?
The Tories have suddenly discovered the book of Leviticus
Religion is here to stay
A new spirit of confidence and fearlessness characterises those who continue to believe
Food for thoughtlessness
The march of the public health puritans continues
Libyans, Parisians and London Irish
Dry-ish, spare, clear-eyed — rare in a world of literary bloat, sentiment and overstatement
Don’t patronise female students
It’s insulting to think that women have to be treated with kid gloves
Don’t idolise Roger Scruton
Our reverence for the late thinker must not limit our imaginations
When America ignored a slaughter
Whatever America’s flaws, its absence from the global stage leaves a space quickly filled by far more malevolent actors
