5 d. ago Dreaming of You: The Making of the Coral review – the charming rise of the melodic noughties band

Lo-fi animation mixed with archive footage and home movies tell the story of a group of talented young mates from the Wirral with an eccentric, unpretentious charm Remember the Coral? These youthful rockers brightened up the early 00s music scene with their melodic mix of 60s Merseybeat and off-kilter psychedelia, before seemingly melting back into obscurity. In truth, they’re not really prime rockumentary material – they were never particularly huge in terms of either popularity or personal drama – but this film playfully captures the spirit of a bunch of talented young mates who just wanted to play in a band, and got their wish.Founding members James Skelly, his brother Ian, Paul Duffy, Bill Ryder-Jones and Lee Southall were all working-class kids growing up on the Wirral, between Liverpool and Wales, goofing around, living in their own world. “Probably the first incarnation of the band was a ghost-hunting business,” says Skelly. By their teens, they were playing guitars, smoking ...

3 w. ago ‘If I felt Zuckerberg and Sandberg were monsters, I wouldn’t have worked at Meta’: Nick Clegg on tech bros, AI and Starmer’s half measures

When Britain’s former deputy PM took a job at Meta, nothing could have prepared him for the ‘cloying conformity’ of the tech world. So why does he still think social media is a force for good?• Read an exclusive extract from Nick Clegg’s new book hereThe rain is just starting to fall from a grey London sky as Sir Nick Clegg arrives, duckingthrough the traffic and carrying what looks like his laundry. C lean shirts for the photoshoot, he says, before apologetically wondering if he might possibly get a coffee. Within minutes he has further apologised for wanting to swap the leather club chair he is offered for a hard plastic one; and then, in horror, for any impression inadvertently given that my questions might send him to sleep.Impeccable English manners should never be mistaken for diffidence – at 58, Clegg remains the only British political figure who could convincingly be played by the equally posh but self-effacing Colin Firth, whose old London home Clegg recently bought – but t...
