Under-fire owner has transformed Tottenham into a fully self-sustaining entity.

It took a few seconds to work out what was up. The reason for this was he was happy. Here was a man remembering how to smile, willing his face into the right kind of shape, searching for the muscle memory.It was also a nice moment. The recent run of Bad Ange stuff, the Ange who does interviews like a policeman standing too close to you in a tiny lift, has been painful to watch. The Premier League is brutal. It will stretch you thin. And it has been rough with Postecoglou, who came with no comparable experience, who is 59 years old, and has had the air of a man finding the end of his reach, radiating sadness from every rain-sodden panel of his quilted coa...

I made it, then Hugh, my husband, made it, and then the friends we’d cooked it for also made it. Conclusion: people love it. Staring at a gnarly celeriac, some tins of tomatoes and lentils, plus a couple of handfuls of cashews, you’d never imagine they’d create something so moreish. But that’s the strength of great knowhow (Jenny’s) and the transformative power of time and heat on even the most simple of ingredients. Continue reading...

9 hours ago ‘Worse than the 1980s’ – that’s the arts sector now. It’s not a good look for a Labour government | Charlotte Higgins

So many pre-election promises: but still a cultural malaise spreads from our schools to museums, galleries and theatresIf a former director of the National Theatre says that “more harm has been done than good” to the arts by the new Labour government, it is safe to say things have got off to a rocky start. It is hard to imagine a slice of British society more sympathetic on principle to Labour than those working in the creative sector. Hopes were high: Keir Starmer made a powerful speech on the arts before the election. The culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, began by doing everyone a service by unilaterally declaring the end of the culture wars – perhaps something not entirely in her gift, though it’s clear she was calling time on the endless spitting and sniping at the “woke” arts favoured by the previous government. And yet: all I hear is disappointment and desperation, and not only from Nicholas Hytner. There is a void where policy and action should be. In a speech in Gateshead in mi...
