40 m. ago Girl on Girl by Sophie Gilbert review – how pop culture turned a generation of women against themselves

The Pulitzer-nominated journalist recounts how modern misogyny has been shaped by a mass culture attuned to male desire and all-pervasive pornographyIn 2021, JD Vance told Fox News that senior Democrat women were just “childless cat ladies”, lacking cultural or social value compared with their married and procreating counterparts. When Taylor Swift looked down the barrel of this insult with a post on Instagram showing her posing with beloved feline Benjamin Button (from Time magazine’s photoshoot naming her 2023’s person of the year), she embraced the role of killjoy, rejecting Vance’s attempt to divide women. But even this gesture of defiance and solidarity was not enough to push back the red tide of misogyny and corruption: Trump was elected to a second term, the US was denied a female leader, and millions of women held their breath.When Sophie Gilbert, a Pulitzer-nominated journalist and critic at the Atlantic, was writing Girl on Girl, the 2025 Trump administration was just a wo...

3 h. ago Murder on Line One review: Another British broadcaster hops on the whodunnit bandwagon

For many, the words “the first in a new murder mystery series from Jeremy Vine” will feel more like a threat than a promise. Ever since Richard Osman’s monster hit The Thursday Murder Club five years ago, there has been a barrage of crime novels written by British broadcasters — Robert Peston (ITV), Richard Madeley (ITV), Stig Abell (Times Radio), Richard Coles (Radio 4), to name but a few. Yet Vine (Radio 2, Channel 5) can be forgiven for jumping on the bandwagon. In a niche but growing sub-genre, his small-town whodunnit, Murder on Line One, is one of the better offerings.

He has cosied up to Vladimir Putin, insulted Volodymyr Zelenskyy and tried to settle Russia’s war in Ukraine on terms that would undermine European security. His vice-president has denigrated European democratic values, and his national security team has spewed venom in a Signal chat at “pathetic” Europe.Finally complete the European capital markets union and banking union to unleash the cross-border investment power of some €3tn in European savingsStrike trade deals with countries and regions around the w...
