2 h. ago The far right’s green bashing has given mainstream parties an excuse to do nothing – but we have more agency than we think | Ajit Niranjan

But together we can take action to challenge the prevailing apathySupport the Guardian’s independent journalism today Last year, I stood in front of a black-clad skinhead as he shook a fist full of rings thick enough to double as a knuckle-duster.

3 h. ago Fires Which Burned Brightly by Sebastian Faulks review – a grief

In his account of postwar childhood and literary success, the novelist hints at pain he is unable to address directlyIn this not-quite-a-memoir, the novelist Sebastian Faulks gives a fine-grained account of growing up in post-second world war England.

Holidays consist of an icy week in Bexhill-on-Sea or, a step up, the Isle of Wight (just as cold but with a nicer class of ice-cream). Then there are all those tight-lipped middle-aged men busying themselves mowing the lawn and going to work in mysterious “offices”. Not so long ago they were shooting down Germans or trying to survive the north African desert.Faulks’s own father is one of these heroes in hiding – a provincial solicitor in a failing pra...
