38 h. ago As asylum seekers are engulfed by slurs and lies, our leaders shrug. Truly, this is shameful | Frances Ryan

Holding cardboard signs drawn in bright felt-tip pen (“save our kids”), the “pink protest” marched under the banner of protecting women and girls.The crowd may have looked a novel sight, but it points to a rationale that is increasingly gaining ground this summer: asylum seekers are a danger to British women and girls.Frances Ryan is a Guardian columnist.

6 d. ago Viktor Gyökeres labours as Arsenal fall short against Villarreal and Pépé

The £64m man made his home debut in a friendly as Mikel Arteta set out his ambitions for the new seasonNew season, same old Arsenal? On an evening when Viktor Gyökeres was meant to announce himself as the solution to all of Mikel Arteta’s problems, instead it was a figure from Arsenal’s past who stole the show.At £72m – £8m more than they may end up paying for the Sweden striker – Nicolas Pépé was an expensive Arsenal signing, a few months before Arteta replaced Unai Emery in 2019. Most of the fans who packed out the Emirates Stadium for this pre-season friendly will not have many fond memories of the Ivory Coast international’s spell in north London, but he clearly had a point to prove here. Pépé’s early goal and strikes from Karl Etta Eyong and the former Tottenham loanee Arnaut Danjuma sealed an impressive win for Villarreal, and left Arteta with plenty of questions to resolve before Arsenal’s opening game of the season next weekend against Manchester United.

Cookbook author Tilly Pamment likes to think of these as a healthy treat, before she adds the warm caramel sauce and a splash of cold creamGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailA variation of my mum’s beloved sticky date pudding, these little cakes are all warming spice and soft, cooked fruit. As they’re made with wholemeal flour, sticky prunes and pear, I like to kid myself that these are, in fact, healthy muffins. But then I drown them in ginger caramel and a puddle of cream, and that illusion is shattered!On a cold evening these really are heavenly, and I wouldn’t even blame you if the leftovers masqueraded as breakfast the next day. The prunes are lovely in this – I actually prefer them to dates. If you’re not convinced, just think of them as dried plums.Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning Continue reading...
