Lily Phillips, OnlyFans and the big lie that sex work is good for you

In January, Lily Phillips says, she will sleep with a thousand men in 24 hours for her OnlyFans site. I have seen the flyer: to apply you must send in a headshot and hold your photo ID close to your face. This reads like a parody of the physical contortions Lily herself makes for her cameras: she has just slept with 100 men in 24 hours, and what was close to her face is unrepeatable. It made her cry. Perhaps the tears were for the camera – Lily had a documentary made about the day– because grief is as marketable as sex. (I loved my Tiny Tears doll). I don’t know. I suspect she doesn’t either.

Jacob Rees-Mogg's reality TV show will mark a new low in Britain — ...

Meet the Rees-Moggs, the reality TV show about Jacob Rees-Mogg and his family is here, and it will be fascinating, because he is. It is easy to take him at face value, which means his own terms: an old Etonian with a moldering manor house, a rich wife, mesmerizingly named children and a nanny who lives in and scolds him. He shares their lives, courtesy of the production company that made At Home With The Furys because he wants the world to understand him.

Can King Charles and the British monarchy survive in the age of glo...

Yesterday Charles III was heckled in Parliament House in Canberra. He might consider it a happy milestone: he has only been on the throne two years. Lidia Thorpe, an Indigenous independent senator, shouted: “You committed genocide against our people. Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us — our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our land. Give us a treaty. You are a genocidalist. This is not your land. You are not my king. Fuck the colony”.

What Thanet Council's attempt to ban swearing tells us about Britain

Change the language, change the reality: that’s the theory, because it’s cheaper. Thanet District Council, which administers a somewhat unlovely part of Kent, has imposed a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) which means you can be fined £100 for swearing in the street. So, if, for instance, you want to express the idea that Thanet is “&h75!” you won’t be able to say that within the hearing of a council officer without being fined the equivalent of half your monthly council tax.

'Protesters' who try to intimidate MPs are the arsonists of our dem...

I can only imagine Vladimir Putin’s laughter in Moscow. Last week, Ben Jamal, director of the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, told protesters at Westminster he wanted a situation where “they will have to lock the doors of parliament itself”. Three MPs — all women, naturally — have been given police protection. MPs’ offices are surrounded and graffitied. The far-Right white nationalist Tommy Robinson will be allowed to visit London from May. He is threatening riots.

I Once Thought British Jews Were Special. Not Anymore.

The weeks since October 7 have forever changed my relationship with my country.

How to march for Palestine without scaring Jewish people (unless yo...

How do you stand for Palestine without traducing British Jews — and Palestinians themselves? Righteous people want to know, and they should. You may have seen the video of the woman in Gaza weeping over the body of her son and calling Hamas dogs. She was silenced, though why would she care if she told the truth? What more does she have to lose? The Arab world has betrayed Palestine, and the mirroring between Palestinians and Jews, whom Europe betrayed, is obvious, which is partly why the conflict is so mesmerising: both peoples, as the novelist Amos Oz said, are right. A continent away, a crowd of Londoners stood for Palestine on Saturday. How will they ensure that their rhetoric does not translate into the demonisation of Jewish people in Britain? Do they even want to?

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears review: her sad life is a caution...

Britney Spears's memoir, The Woman in Me, is in two parts: the numb (part one) and the raging (part two). I wish I was surprised by her story, but it’s the story of female stars, particularly child ones. They are archetypes, devoured by expectation.

The extremists have never been so far from the public on immigratio...

I researched a piece about culture wars a few years ago and learned that culture war in Britain doesn’t really exist. It is incited, it is dreamt of and exploited, but it is essentially a fiction. British people are a kaleidoscope of opinion, not two sides staring over an abyss. That is the US, not here.

Simpson’s Tavern is in London’s DNA — we must save it at any cost

London is a living city, and it is constantly remade. That is its nature and I revel in it: one in, one out. But some things are too precious to lose. The forced closure of Simpson’s Tavern — revealed by the Londoner’s Diary last week — the oldest and greatest chop house in the city, is a grotesque…
