The Tory leader’s shift to the right has left its centrist wing wondering if its tradition still has a futureIn one popular reading of the history of Tory successes, the party’s last three election-winning prime ministers – John Major, David Cameron and Boris Johnson – all swept into Downing Street on unifying one-nation platforms.But for many people this year’s Tory conference, marked by its hardening rhetoric on asylum seekers and growing overtures to Nigel Farage’s brand of politics, feels a far cry from those broad principles.

49 m. ago José Pizarro’s recipe for parsnip, apple and chickpea albóndigas in saffron

Hearty, earthy and slightly sweet, these “meat”balls come smothered in a rich saffron and tomato brothMeatballs are one of those dishes you find everywhere. In the Middle East there are kofta, in Italy polpette, in France boulettes, in Germany frikadellen and in Spain we call them albóndigas (or almóndigas as it’s pronounced in my village in Extremadura). The Moors brought them to Spain centuries ago, and they quickly became an integral part of our cooking culture, a dish to share with family and friends. In fact, they don’t even need to include any actual meat: in today’s dish, I make them with a hearty, earthy and slightly sweet combination of chickpeas, parsnip and apple, and serve them in a rich, golden and full-flavoured saffron and tomato broth.

1 hour ago ‘It’s Sellafield or nothing’: what life is like growing up in the shadow of Europe’s oldest nuclear site

Young people in Whitehaven on England’s north-west coast rely on the power plant for everything from jobs to civic investment. But for those who see their future elsewhere, options can be limitedShare your experiences of living in a coastal townPhotographs by Polly BradenIt is a rainy Thursday in Whitehaven on the north-west coast of England, but the seafront is buzzing with activity. This Saturday is Harbour Fest, a day of music, performance and activities. An array of colourful street food vendors are already setting up.It’s unusual to see such excitement on the seafront, says 18-year-old Lacey Ritson. Growing up, Lacey and her friends would gravitate to picturesque Saint Bees along the coast or the nearby Lake District if they wanted to spend time by the water. And sometimes, she says, “we’d sit by the river and look at people, guessing who worked at Sellafield – like, ‘they’ve got a nice car – they’re from Sellafield’”. Continue reading...

1 hour ago ‘People screamed. Cried. Threw up’: 10 extraordinary life lessons from Ozzy Osbourne’s new memoir

The man who ended up smoking 30 cigars a day after trying to quit cigarettes also comes across in his book as level-headed, self-aware and savagely funny. Here’s what the late rock legend can teach us about addiction, fame and how to choose just the right support act“Here’s the thing, man,” wonders the late Ozzy Osbourne in his new memoir. “Why would anyone want life advice from me?”Yes, he gave us Iron Man, War Pigs, Planet Caravan and so many other metal classics. But, by his own admission, Osbourne was also a criminal, a cheat and an addict, who routinely risked his and others’ lives and bit the head off a bat. (In his defence, he says, he thought it was a toy.) Continue reading...
