74 m. ago Pulp review – Jarvis Cocker’s captivating comeback turns a rapt crowd rapturous

OVO Hydro, GlasgowOn a kitschy 1970s chatshow set, the Sheffield band play hits from across their career – and fans welcome their just-released album tracks like old friendsA thick velvet curtain cocoons the stage as a cool disembodied voice projects over the audience: “This is an encore. An encore occurs because the audience wants more.” Since their initial breakup in 2002, Pulp have re-formed twice, for sold-out tours and festival sets played to loyal, rapturous audiences. Tonight, the stakes are higher: for the first time in 24 years, Pulp have a new album, More, released just one day before tonight’s opening show. The audience want more – but do they want More?Any anxiety about new material is quashed when set opener and comeback single Spike Island is received like an old friend. Jarvis Cocker rises from the back of the stage flanked by cardboard cutouts of his bandmates – recognisable from the cover of 1995’s Different Class – before joining their real-life counterparts, guita...

79 m. ago Trump praises ‘great job’ by national guard in calming LA protests, as mayor says troops are not in the city – US politics live

Mayor Karen Bass disputes president’s claim as she thanks local law enforcement for dealing with unrest following immigration crackdownPresident Trump appears to have used federal law to order the national guard to go to Los Angeles, rather than the 18th century Insurrection Act.The national guard is a hybrid entity that serves both state and federal interests. Often, it operates under state command and control, using state funding. Sometimes national guard troops will be assigned by their state to serve federal missions, remaining under state command but using federal funding.Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task.These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLE...

84 m. ago How to make perfect tandoori chicken (without a tandoor) – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect

Don’t let the lack of a traditional clay oven stop you from making this ‘king of kebabs’ at homeWhen was the last time you had tandoori chicken? Described by the Liverpool Daily Post in 1962 as “roast chicken Indian fashion”, this delicately seasoned, but often luridly coloured, dish was once the mainstay of the British Indian restaurant menu; yet, always greedy for novelty, I can’t remember when I last had the pleasure.The loss is mine, because it’s one of the very best ways to eat chicken – rich and tender, thanks to its yoghurt marinade, tangy with lemon and perfumed with spice. Vivek Singh argues that “no Punjabi celebration can be complete without tandoori chicken”, while J Inder Singh Kalra went as far as to crown it the “king of kebabs”, a sentiment echoed by Rohit Ghai.

2 h. ago Craig Bellamy: ‘I loved living in Brussels it gave me freedom and allowed me to breathe’

Coach learned his trade under Vincent Kompany at Anderlecht, now he leads Wales back to Belgium for a World Cup qualifierThe last of Craig Bellamy’s 78 Wales caps came in Brussels in October 2013 and although that 1-1 draw concluded an underwhelming World Cup qualifying campaign, the Belgian capital is where he considers his coaching career achieved liftoff. He spent a little more than two years working at Anderlecht alongside his former Manchester City teammate Vincent Kompany, first as the under-21 coach and then as Kompany’s assistant, a springboard that has led him to representing his country at the King Baudouin Stadium for another qualifier, this time as a manager.It is a city Bellamy remembers fondly, despite leaving Anderlecht in September 2021, before the end of his contract, to return to Cardiff to deal with depression after struggling being away from his family. “I loved living in Brussels,” he says. “It gave me a good step back. I was completely unrecognisable – no one h...
