Why Reform bans journalists like me
Reform denied me a pass to its annual conference this week. Without a free press, politicians really will do whatever they want

As a young, female celebrity in the age of the internet, Ariana Grande has faced online hate since forever, writes Kathryn Schoon But when it comes to public scrutinty over her weight—she is not the problem

Ariana Grande is not the problem
By focusing relentlessly on the pop star, we’re neglecting the structural issues that lead her—and millions of other women—to keep losing weight

Supporting a neo-Nazi was an odd hill for Kemi Badenoch to die on. She would win more friends by being less doctrinaire, writes Alan Rusbridger

Kemi Badenoch is creating a new—and very odd—type of Tory party
In her upside-down leadership, former neo-Nazis can run as councillors, but anyone hoping to stop the world burn is banned
