9 d. ago Rachel Reeves is all about growth. So why won’t she admit that Brexit is its worst enemy? | Polly Toynbee

Our exit from the EU won’t be a focus of the spring statement, but it should be. Most now accept the need for closer ties As the chancellor ekes out every last billion this week, it’s worth stepping back and remembering one key reason why Britain fares worse than its neighbours: Brexit. On Monday, MPs debated whether to rejoin the EU following the success of a public petition that gained 134,000 signatures. Don’t hold your breath.

But the global Trumpquake has shaken all certainties, upended all that seemed solid. The European defence emergency has made talk of Brexit and its future less taboo on both sides of the Channel. Close observers note the ice breaking. “Things are moving in the right direction,” says Charles Grant of the Centre for European Reform (CER).Nonetheless, Labour is so paralysed by Brexit that despite its hunt for growth, it has said noth...

From cinematography nightmares to its young star’s surprising response to emotional trauma, the hit Netflix drama’s team open up about behind-the-scenes secretsAdolescence has dominated the UK’s national conversation over the last few days – the prime minister even referenced it in parliament – and this week it is the most-streamed Netflix show in the US. However, as well as its content, there is also widespread fascination about its technical mastery. Each of its four hour-long episodes was captured in a single take, which required meticulous planning and endless innovations on the part of its crew.Many of the details are already out there, in a series of social media threads that went viral this week. However, last month I interviewed the key creatives of Adolescence, and they provided me with several backstage stories that I had to leave out because of a lack of space or because I didn’t want to spoil their head-spinning impact. With that in mind, here are a few leftover secrets ...
