2 h. ago How did Reform end up in such a mess? Is that a serious question?

Nigel Farage’s team is down to four MPs, with the suspended Rupert Lowe denouncing it as a “protest party led by the messiah”. Let’s not waste time wondering who’s wrong and who’s rightI have one primitive but foolproof tool of political analysis. Trying to balance competing claims in any matter of party discipline – unless it’s a party of which I am a member, in which case, of course, I have already picked a side – I think: “Does it sound as if anyone’s done the kind of vetting even I would know how to do?”Rupert Lowe has been suspended from Reform over claims of bullying and physical intimidation, which he says are without basis. He went on to say, on X, that he was “disappointed, but not surprised” by the allegations, which has a conspiratorial whiff. He has already said the allegations are false, so if he is not surprised to hear them made, it surely indicates that he thinks he is dealing with the kind of people who will expediently exploit any kind of nonsense.

9 h. ago ‘Keeps me optimistic’: why You’ve Got Mail is my feelgood movie

The next entry in our series of writers highlighting their go-to comfort picks is an ode to Nora Ephron’s winsome romantic comedyThere’s a montage in the opening of You’ve Got Mail that is so sentimentally sweet that it feels like the cinematic equivalent of a pumpkin spiced latte. As the guitars of the Cranberries’ Dreams jangle, the film’s two leads, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, leave their respective homes and walk through an autumnal-hued New York City with smiles on their faces, their characters unaware that earlier that morning they were anonymously exchanging emails. I must have seen this opening more than 100 times, and while I’d never be so happy to walk to work, it always fills me with a romantic appreciation for life’s potential.I can’t remember the first time I watched this Nora Ephron-penned and -directed romcom, but I do recall that as a child I would load it into the DVD player at every available opportunity. Based on the 1940 film The Shop Around the Corner, and centred o...
