The 90s: Art and Fashion review – this isn’t an exhibition, it’s a magazine spread
The Young British Art of the 1990s was brash and macabre but also intelligent and emotional. This breathlessly superficial show reduces it to a stylish pose

RIP Sir Tom Stoppard One of the greats. “Jumpers” was one of my favourites out of so many brilliant plays, but also “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead”.

Italy sends Navy ship to protect and escort the Sumud flotilla, trying to deliver aid to Gaza. What is the UK gov doing to protect its own citizens on board?

For foreign correspondents, getting access to the @ukhouseofcommons.bsky.social can be tricky, so it’s crucial to get events like the FPA Day in Parliament to get right to the centre of British politics.

Has Giorgia Meloni made herself the new queen of Europe?
The Italian prime minister has combined populism with pragmatism to charm sceptics of her right-wing agenda. Now world leaders — including ours — want to be her best friend

Controversial decision by winner Richard Flanagan to refuse the Baillie Gifford Non Fiction Prize and money 💰 until BG stop investing in fossil fuels. It was elegantly done but it’s a blow to the sponsor and the organisers. Flanagan spoke from the endangered Tasmanian forest.
