Some of us show our aggression after the games, after we get beaten - you expect all the lads to take that in, but we have to look at ourselves much harder.” Continue reading...

83 m. ago Jennifer Walton: Daughters review – a stylish and painful debut

(Local Action)Fiction, folk and a devastating diagnosis feature in the producer and DJ’s literary penmanship, her gentle, gothic vocals thick with morbid, magical thinkingMiss America, the centrepiece of Jennifer Walton’s stylish, painful debut record, sits us down in a hotel room near JFK airport, watching on as Walton learns that her father has been diagnosed with cancer. The Sunderland-born musician had been touring the US for the first time, drumming with indie band Kero Kero Bonito, and now grief greys everything out. Faltering piano and hushed strings accompany gothic dispatches from the tour van: “Cattle farm and broke down shack / Strip-mall, drug deal, panic attacks.”Walton’s gentle vocals are deadpan, with the record’s tension brought by her penmanship (encompassing fiction, folksy sayings and blunt diary entries) and her sharp, surprising maximalism. Few songs this year have stronger novelistic flair than Shelly, which witnesses the killing of a deer and spirals into a pe...

3 h. ago The crimewave sweeping Britain? Illegal houses in multiple occupation | Aditya Chakrabortty

With private-sector villainy and public-sector complicity, what makes this HMO scandal so characteristic of modern Britain is how far the guilt spreadsFan of true crime? Then this column is for you. Rather than some cold case told through yellowing newspapers and sepia photos, this one is still happening. And just wait for the plot twist! But first let me outline the key facts; your challenge is to decide who’s guilty.Our crime scene is a redbrick townhouse built in the last years of Victoria – tall, battered but undeniably handsome. It’s in Bowes Park, on London’s northern outskirts – the kind of neighbourhood that on a Friday afternoon offers nice cafes, a community-owned pub and some WFH dads wandering the streets scavenging for ciabatta sandwiches.Aditya Chakrabortty is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

4 h. ago Posh, proud and impossible to ignore: the incredible life of Annabel Goldsmith

Born in the 1930s, the former Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest-Stewart flourished in a world that celebrated aristocratic rule-breakers. What does her story tell us about how Britain has changed?If the sitting Marquess of Londonderry died tomorrow, and in so doing bestowed a ladyhood on his 15-year-old granddaughter, would you ever know? Would you be able to find the great houses of Britain on a map, and connect them to their owners? It wouldn’t be true to say that the press has stopped covering the aristocracy, since the Telegraph diligently covers the great estates, but the discussion now comes framed by the idea of meritocracy, which is objectively pretty ridiculous. So the Hon Nick Howard told the Telegraph a fortnight ago, “If my son wants to take over [Castle Howard], he’ll have to pass an interview,” while other great estate owners stress their role as rewilders, ecowarriors or, at their most traditional, conservationists. These days, if you’re proud of heritage simply because you o...
