4 d. ago ‘We fought to achieve our dreams’: Fabinho on Diogo Jota and leaving Liverpool

Midfielder’s outlook on life has changed since the death of his former Anfield teammate in a tragic accidentFabinho attended Diogo Jota’s funeral unable to believe it was all true. His Portuguese friend, with whom he played for three years at Liverpool, had died in a tragic accident alongside André Silva, his brother. The Brazilian found himself reflecting extensively on life and how everything can be lost in a fleeting moment.“It was very difficult to absorb because he had a routine and a life just like mine,” Fabinho says. “When that happens, you put yourself in that situation. We’ve lived through a period together. We fought to achieve our dreams. Professional dreams, but personal dreams too. We had a lot in common. And then you think about it. There’s no way round it. It makes you think that life is but a breath.” Continue reading...

6 d. ago UK politics live: Gordon Brown calls for extra defence spending to be exempt from fiscal rules

Former PM says ‘exceptional’ aim to spend 5% of GDP should be a joint Nato and European initiative financed via bonds or a defence fundGood morning. In every era in politics there are claims that the current generation of politicians aren’t as impressive as the ones that came before. A lot of this is just false memory warped by nostalgia, but in the UK at the moment there are eight former prime ministers and they provide a sub-set that does, sort of, stand up the theory.Five of them were in office after 2010 – David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak – and their contribution to public life at the moment is, frankly, minimal, or negative. But the three who were in office before 2010 – John Major, Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown – remain serious voices. Major is 82, he does not speak out much, but when he does, he is always worth hearing. Blair is running a thinktank actively trying to shape policy in the UK and around the world. And Brown is perpetually engag...

1 week ago From orgies to marathon sex scenes: how did period drama get so raunchy?

Non-stop coitus, controversial nudity and shocking sex toys: steamy scenes in costume dramas have changed since Colin Firth got his shirt wet in Pride and Prejudice. Here is an outrageous history of small-screen saucinessOutlander first sizzled our screens in 2014, with Vulture soon declaring that the period drama had “the best sex on television”. Its tale of second world war nurse Claire (Caitriona Balfe) time-travelling to 18th-century Scotland and falling in love with clansman Jamie (Sam Heughan) certainly earned the accolade. The wedding night episode features Claire reaching such an explosive orgasm that it requires smelling salts for viewers to get through. There’s a knee-trembling “castle cunnilingus” scene and, at one point, the extraordinary moment when Claire saves Jamie’s life by masturbating him. It has proved so popular that in 2026 its eighth (and final) season will air.In the last year we’ve had shows such as Carême, about a Napoleonic-era celebrity chef who like...
