4 d. ago Nigel Farage has 1.3m followers on TikTok. Does this mean gen Z likes him? | Zoe Williams

He is the most popular UK politician on one of the world’s most popular social media sites. Working out what that means is actually surprisingly difficultThere’s a famous clip that still does the rounds on social media, which is weird, because it’s Russia Today, hardly regular viewing, it happened in 2017, a fairly long time ago, and it was on the show Sam Delaney’s News Thing, which was never appointment viewing. In it, Nigel Farage is ceremonially knighted by a girl of about seven, who then says: “My mummy says you hate foreigners.” Delaney cuts in, “No no no, little girl”, and Nige falls about laughing, because good old Nigel, he’s always game for a laugh.Pause on whether or not Farage hates foreigners; the reason I can do an impression of the little girl is that every teenager I know is pitch perfect on all three parts – the girl, Delaney, Farage. Whenever people say, “Is it bad that Nigel Farage is the only politician my kids have heard of? Should I worry?”, I try in vain to th...

6 d. ago ‘Why are our black boys hurting each other?’ Letitia Wright on the deaths that inspired her directorial debut

The Black Panther star made her name with intense roles in indie films before Marvel came calling. Now she’s telling her own stories, starting with a cast of ‘young kings’Days before we meet, Letitia Wright found herself cheek-by-jowl with a far-right march in London. This is the year when St George’s flags have been displayed in suburban windows and tied to lamp-posts, and when thousands of people – some more intimidating than others, especially to people of colour – have marched on the centre of the capital and beyond. A friend of Wright’s was visiting the city, and they had moseyed down to the South Bank, unaware of what awaited them. “It was jam-packed,” she says, recalling their struggle to get out of the fray. “I  was in the middle of it, and then I was out of it. They were doing their thing – and I was doing mine.”The actor has played refugees twice: once in the BBC Three drama Glasgow Girls, where she portrayed a Somali teenager, Amal, and then in the 2022 film Aisha, w...

After years of drip-fed revelations, we might as well face it. This is a family elevated by birthright: they’re stuck with him and so are weReading the extract from Virginia Giuffre’s tragic memoir in the Guardian this week, I was struck again by the fate of each of those people involved in that infamous photograph taken at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London house.The teenage girl at the centre of the picture is dead, having taken her own life at a remote Australian farmhouse earlier this year, unable to outrun her trauma. The person who took the photograph is dead, having somehow killed himself in a New York jail while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking. The grinning woman in the background is in prison herself, exalting Donald Trump’s impeccable purity in the hope of getting moved to a nicer jail or even pardoned. And the smiling lunk with his arm round the teenage girl – who he denies he had sex with later that evening – is living in a 30-room mansion on a 98-acre estate (which...

8 d. ago Silent Hill f review – fascinating horror game maims the monsters teenage girls face

PC, PS5, Xbox; KonamiAfter an apocalyptic supernatural fog descends, school girl Hinako wakes up in a town populated by psychosexual beasts and gaslighting men in masksThere are some horror games you can finish in a couple of days of intense play; they almost invite that sort of frenzied consumption. But there are others that need to be savoured, and sometimes even suffered. Silent Hill f is in the latter category, which is why our review is somewhat delayed. This slowburn descent into psychological horror is set in 1960s Japan, but it also has pertinent things to say about the modern era and the tendrils of misogyny crawling out of the basement of the culture wars.Lead character Hinako Shimizu is a school girl in the small conservative town of Ebisugaoka. Her father is a bully who treats his wife like a servant and his daughter like an inconvenience, her best friend is Shu, a boy who may harbour deeper feelings for her – much to the frustration of another friend Rinko, who has a se...
