The FBI finally had its chance to explain ‘antifa’ at a congressional hearing and it was like asking a house of cards to hold up in a wind tunnel. The simplest definition of ‘antifa’ is ‘anti-facist.’ That’s it. It’s quite straightforward. Yet, when your entire political movement is built upon defeating ‘antifa,’ it gets a […]

To the US where Donald Trump continues to insist that the American people have basically never had it so good, while at the same time suggesting they might need to ration the Christmas presents they buy for their kids because, you know, money is tight and all that. So how can those two things be […]

It’s that magical time of year when Spotify Wrapped comes out, and we all wonder whether we really need to know that our listening age is 83. Thanks, data collection. However, it is interesting to know what we listen to a lot, and which songs are different from our usual (old person) tastes. They’ve been […]

We feature no end of comebacks and takedowns – call them what you will! – on these pages but we don’t recall one quite so entraining, devastating and downright hilarious as this one. It’s an Aussie women who’s had it up to here – up to here we tell you! – with Americans who think […]

It’s true that we live in an age of uncertainty at the moment, and it feels like we’re perpetually on the brink of some sort of massive disaster, but is that true? Or are we just so addicted to doomscrolling that it feels that way? It’s hard to say, but that doesn’t mean that we […]

To the studios of BBC1’s Question Time, which this week travelled to Scotland a week after Reform UK leader Nigel Farage took aim at the ‘one in three’ Glasgow schoolchildren who speak more than one language. The guests included Reform UK’s latest recruit, former Tory Cabinet minister Malcom (Lord) Offord, and leader of the Scottish […]
