2 w. ago Now we know what patriotism means to Shabana Mahmood – can she harness that to unite rather than divide us? | Gaby Hinsliff

The home secretary’s immigration plan is framed in punitive terms. But at least she is wrestling the debate back towards integration and belongingIn Twickenham, at the weekend, the crowd was a sea of red and white.England’s colours were everywhere – plastered on sweatshirts and painted over faces, fluttering from flags – and the mood was unmistakably joyful. For this was of course the Women’s Rugby World Cup final, not some ominous “raise the colours” rally: a chance to remember that the St George’s cross doesn’t belong to people who daub it on roundabouts to frighten the neighbours, that there is still a kind of Englishness that inspires hope, not fear. Rugby’s Red Roses, like football’s Lionesses and Gareth Southgate’s young male England squad before them, embody a consciously inclusive form of patriotism: a message that their victories are for everyone, male or female, black or white, gay or straight.Gaby Hinsliff is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

3 w. ago Bryson DeChambeau’s brash opening act gets the party started but Europe spoil the fun | Bryan Armen Graham

The American talisman’s barnstorming start proved deceptive on the opening morning as Europe tamed the course to finish the day with a three-point leadThe dawn’s early light broke slow and heavy over Bethpage State Park, a pale wash creeping through the trees as if reluctant to reveal the chaos already under way. Fans clad in red, white and blue had been congregating outside since three in the morning, trotting down floodlit paths to the first-tee grandstand when the gates finally swung open at five. By six, thousands were already wedged together in the dark, swaying to chants and clutching cardboard cups of coffee and greasy breakfast cheeseburgers.When the clock ticked toward the 7.10am start time, the atmosphere boiled over in the 5,000-seat amphitheatre. The chants ricocheted around the stands: “We want Bryson! We want Bryson!” Some wore DeChambeau’s name scrawled across their bare chests while others waved handwritten signs. Continue reading...

3 w. ago Liverpool Women honour Matt Beard’s legacy with strong League Cup display

Beard’s family were in attendance on an emotional night filled with tributes as his former team took on SunderlandQuietly they stood in the queue, stretching far beyond the door of the main reception at St Helens, to pay their respects to the former Liverpool manager Matt Beard. Once inside, an image of Beard and his trademark smile was displayed on a screen above a table where red and white flowers – one bouquet accompanied by a handwritten note expressing love from Sunderland – lay next to the books of condolence that were quickly filling up with messages of love.The scene was so sombre, it was, momentarily, difficult to imagine there was a game of football to watch, but soon the Liverpool fans were inside the stadium for the first match since the news of Beard’s sudden death at the age of 47.

3 w. ago Slow Horses season five review – not even Gary Oldman can salvage this TV mess

It’s the worst outing yet for the Slough House gang, with main characters having unnerving personality transplants and ‘action’ sequences taking place in penguin enclosures. Yikes!The fifth season of Slow Horses starts with a timely sequence: a gun attack perpetrated by a follower of a far-right politician (we even briefly glimpse a few St George’s crosses). Rightwing politics is an area that Apple TV+’s spy drama has tackled before; back in season one, a British-Pakistani student was memorably taken on a joyride by a nationalist group named Sons of Albion, who threatened to behead him on a live stream.However, like many things in the Slow Horses universe – based on Mick Herron’s bestselling novels about a group of MI5 rejects – the opening proves something of a red herring. Season five isn’t really about white nationalists, or environmental activists, or hostile foreign actors, and yet it is also about all of those things, all at once. As a result, it is overstuffed and strangely l...

last month The island that banned hives: can honeybees actually harm nature?

On a tiny Italian island, scientists conducted a radical experiment to see if the bees were causing their wild cousins to declineOff the coast of Tuscany is a tiny island in the shape of a crescent moon. An hour from mainland Italy, Giannutri has just two beaches for boats to dock. In summer, hundreds of tourists flock there, hiking to the red and white lighthouse on its southern tip before diving into the clear waters. In winter, its population dwindles to 10. The island’s rocky ridges are coated with thickets of rosemary and juniper, and in warmer months the air is sweetened by flowers and the gentle hum of bees.“Residents are people who like fishing, or being alone, or who have retired. Everyone has their story,” says Leonardo Dapporto, associate professor at the University of Florence.Giannutri island’s remote location made it a perfect open-air laboratory for the bee experiments.
