14 h. ago Why Tony Blair just can’t kick the habit of imperial interference in the Middle East | Oliver Eagleton

The Blair-Trump fantasy for postwar Gaza shows the former PM still thinks that free enterprise can solve all the world’s ills“There are two types of politician,” Tony Blair observed in 2012. “Reality creators and reality managers.” While postwar politics was generally a matter of steady management, he claimed, the emerging order called for more creativity, “both in the economy and foreign policy”. Only a particular type of visionary leader was fit for the task.More than a decade later, Blair has now joined forces with the pre-eminent reality-creator, Donald Trump, to draft a hallucinatory 20-point plan for Gaza. It aims to turn the devastated Strip into what seems to resemble a colonial protectorate: cleansed of armed conflict, buzzing with development projects and a “special economic zone” through which foreign capital can flow, and overseen by an international “board of peace” with Trump himself as chair.

17 h. ago The Spin | Cricket in Corfu causes confusion but also unexpected delight for a few

Seeing a match on the Greek island may be unusual but it gave one American boy a touching link to his dead father The boy had been loitering for about 15 minutes, edging steadily closer to the waiting batters seated around the nonexistent boundary edge, when he eventually plucked up the courage to ask who was winning.It was the type of uninformed query that ordinarily prompts eye-rolls in cricket’s complex spheres. But the match situation – 60 for one, chasing a victory target of only 86 – made the response quite simple on this occasion. Besides, he was just a kid; an American one, at that. How was he to know that cricket’s ebbs and flows rarely render it condensable into such binary terms? Continue reading...

18 h. ago Sali Hughes on beauty: forget harsh treatments – to get rid of adult acne, show your skin some love

It’s time to unlearn many of the traditional nuclear options for treating persistent spots, and choose gentle, hydrating skincare insteadForget almost everything you believe about treating acne. Unlearn the routine of yore, where pimples were manhandled, stripped back with grainy scrubs and astringents, starved of all moisture, then nuked with alcohol or a peroxide paste that caused instant smarting and wincing.Experts are now tackling acne with kid gloves. According to dermatologist Justine Hextall: “We are much more aware of the subtle differences in a blemish-prone skin. Not every presentation is an oily teenager with bulletproof skin that can tolerate alcohol-based washes alongside benzoyl peroxide, exfoliating acids and scrubs. For many, this skincare approach is the opposite of what is needed, and will be deleterious to skin.” Continue reading...

21 h. ago A moment that changed me: I stopped restraining myself – and found the love of my life

For years I tried to be the perfect girlfriend: bright, funny, engaging and fragrant. Then I stubbed my toe, and my ferocious roar of pain showed me I could be myselfIn 2008, I was in my mid-20s and single. My relationships until then had all been fun, flirty and conflict-free – which was unsurprising, given I expended so much energy on male approval.Depressingly, this seemed normal in the 00s and demanded a specific type of vigilance. As well as trying to look perfect for every date, there was also the effort of trying to be perfect: bright and funny and engaging and fragrant, but also vaguely unavailable. Endearingly kooky was OK; but I didn’t want to come across as weird. Misery and anger were off limits. I never risked showing I cared. No wonder love had failed to launch. Continue reading...
