Save us from the menopause warriors campaigning to make all women my age unemployable

As a 44 year-old woman I am constantly made aware by armies of presumably well-intentioned but frankly wearing women in later life with programmes to make and books to sell and brands that might otherwise be struggling for relevance, that my next challenge as a working woman will be an unedifying descent into a frantically sweating mood-swinging, forgetful hot mess. How long can it be I wonder, before I succumb to the death spiral, the worst thing of all that happens to women among many bad thin…

Forget your handbag, the latest status symbol du jour is your luxur...

At a dinner party recently, I got chatting to the twentysomething children of some acquaintances. I asked them what they thought about a range of subjects and was intrigued, and slightly startled by their opinions, which ranged from a total disrespect for the police, to a rejection of marriage as a concept and a desire to legalise drugs entirely. Despite attending elite universities, they told me exam results didn’t matter. Without a hint of irony they told me they thought eco-activists should p…

Why are we building all these hideous high-rises all over London? -...

Acton, where I live, can stake no claim to being the most beautiful part of London, though over the 12 years I’ve lived here I’ve grown incredibly fond of its quirks and idiosyncrasies. Architecturally, it’s pretty mixed between predominantly Victorian and Edwardian housing, the odd Georgian gem, a mix of social housing and more recently some of the tallest high-rises in London.

Does anyone else find the thud of Taylor Swift’s inexorable march to sequinned leotard world domination slightly ghoulish, intimidating and, dare I say it, depressing?

David Lammy on what he really thinks of Corbyn, Keir, Rishi and Farage

If the general election goes the way everyone on the planet thinks it will, David Lammy could soon be heading off around the globe as our government’s new international deal-maker. But with his feet firmly rooted in home soil, Anna van Praagh discovers a Londoner through and through

Student debt of £50,000 is wrong — Labour must stop the injustice o...

Who, apart from the very wealthy, could bring themselves to go to university these days? Three years of mostly less-than adequate teaching, a lot of it on Zoom, an uncertain at best transition into the workplace and a whacking great loan that you’ll spend the next 40 years repaying isn’t exactly the most tantalising proposition.

London’s addiction to food delivery apps comes with a troubling hid...

As synonymous with London these days as black taxis or red buses, food delivery drivers are visible everywhere as they weave in and out of traffic on their bicycles and mopeds, lugging their branded backpacks through heatwaves and hailstorms. But even though they are visible everywhere, unless their takeaway Big Mac is running late, do people give them any thought at all?

In Starmer's Britain the class system isn’t dead, it has simply bee...

Reading the dripping with snobbery and class-prejudice articles and social media attacks on Charlie Mullins, the Pimlico Plumbers boss who has declared he is taking all of his money out of the UK because of Labour’s attitude to the wealthy, I suddenly realised that there has been a seismic shift in British culture.

Labour’s attack on private schools is misguided, damaging and cruel

It’s hard to pinpoint the most egregious side effects of Rachel Reeves’s Budget so far, with its blizzard of bizarre policies fraught with unpleasant unintended consequences. Who do they most want to hurt? Business owners, farmers and parents who have the cheek to want the best education for their children are, naturally, first in line for a thrashing.

Have Labour crashed and burned already?

Disastrous policies fraught with unintended consequences, a wrecking ball budget and a total alienation of voters have got Labour off to a woefully bad start
