37 h. ago Now Andrew has been fired from the Firm, a nation wonders: who'll be next? | Marina Hyde

The king is reduced to a blustering CEO, Prince William to his head of HR. This de-princing could leave the entire House of Windsor facing redundancyIncredible news for residents of the likes of Prince Andrew Drive and Prince Andrew Way, who in recent years have sought name changes from their local councils to remove the unfortunate association with You Know Who. Thanks to last night’s historically dramatic action by the king, the dignity of those aforementioned small stretches of Britain has been restored.

44 h. ago Benjamina Ebuehi’s recipe for ginger biscuit s’mores | The sweet spot

Add an international flavour to Bonfire Night with these gooey American campfire favourites that also work well under a hot grillWhat’s Bonfire Night without some toasty, gooey marshmallows? And it’s only right to have them in a s’more, the American classic that’s also now part of the festivities over on this side of the pond. Digestive biscuits are typically the go-to, but I like to add extra flavour, depth and texture by using ginger oaty biscuits instead. These are quick to put together and don’t require any chilling. Ideally, the s’mores would be made over a real fire, but a blowtorch or hot grill will do the job, too. Continue reading...

63 h. ago Revealed: ICE violates its own policy by holding people in secretive rooms for days or weeks

Guardian analysis finds ICE increasingly keeps people in holding rooms with little oversight, as some facilities see a 600% rise in detention lengthImmigration officials have been increasingly detaining people in small, secretive holding facilities for days or even weeks at a time in violation of federal policy, a Guardian investigation has found.These holding facilities – located at ICE offices, in federal buildings, and other locations around the country – are typically used to detain people after they have been arrested but before they are transferred or released.
