UK politics live: Tories accuse Burnham of being ‘dangerous and divisive’ after he confirms Russian interference in Brexit campaign

Shadow minister says referendum was a ‘legitimate vote’ and PM is seeking to ‘reopen debate’ with statement on Russia’s involvementBurnham to urge MPs to embrace closer ties with EUNigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, is starting his press conference now. There is a live stream here. He is talking about illegal immigration, and claiming that he just wants the UK to get back to being a “normal country” in the sense of being a state able to control its borders.If any journalists are short of a question, they could ask about Andy Burnham saying Farage is “very significantly responsible” for Britain being deadlocked over the past decade. I don’t know whether Nigel Farage has got the appetite that he once had. We will see.I certainly wouldn’t be one of those who would write him off. I think people have done that before at their peril …I thought Kemi Badenoch did a very brave thing at her confe

Marco Rubio is promoting troubling ideas about ‘Western civilization’ | Ted Widmer

In a recent visit to Greece, the secretary of state suggested that Europe must rediscover the values of conquest and expansionThey had obviously worked hard on the backdrop – and it was magnificent. On 7 October, the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, delivered a major speech in Athens, outdoors, with the Acropolis behind him. The sun was setting, bathing the ancient scene, including the Parthenon, in the light of the golden hour.The golden hour, but yet not quite the golden age. This was not Pericles defending democracy. Instead, Rubio offered a haunting vision of the choices facing the west, arguing that the US and Europe must rediscover the values of exploration and conquest that once drove centuries of expansion, or face decline and irrelevance.

Autumn is here, and I’ve got five micro-moments of joy to see us through

For those of us who don’t like the chilly seasons, ‘glimmers’ are the way to go. This year mine are woolly, furry, scaly and crunchyIt finally got cold and dark in my neighbourhood last week. While that’s just how I like it, I know not to alienate summer people by celebrating: screw crunchy leaves, soup, cosy sweaters, got it. I do, actually, sort of get it: fat bear week is over, decay is in the air, we’re dreading what El Niño might do, and somewhere, some content creator is plotting to ruin sofa season with an awful new self-optimisation concept (“Forget the winter arc, lock in for the Shackleton shred: a single rusk and 14-hour sled-pull daily for three months!”).It’s time to find some “glimmers”, which is what we’re calling little fragments of cheer now. “Micro moments of happiness that can flip the script on your day” have gone “pretty mainstream”, Grazia magazine said last month,

The one change that worked: numb with grief, I sat in the dark, surrounded by strangers – and began to heal

Life had come crashing to a halt when I lost my brother. But in the cinema I found comfort and a strange solidarityIn 2022, my younger brother drowned in an accident. His death reset life as I knew it. I had been offered my first proper job; I didn’t take it. I was planning to move out; I stayed at home. At this critical juncture, with my foot on the pedal, ready to enter adult life, everything exploded.At home, there were now three of us. We orbited separate corners of the house, each needing a different thing for comfort: for my mum, exercise; for my dad, music; for me, escape. Continue reading...

Hallowarrior review – apocalyptic Home Alone-style survival horror delivers inventive shocks

Debut feature from Ben Sottak provides outlandish Halloween-based scares, with Milly Shapiro superb as the naive yet resilient home-defender, Pumpkin Home Alone meets Mad Max in this atmospheric seasonal chiller, named for Halloween and not a cheery greeting. A disease has wiped out most of humanity, leaving 16-year-old Pumpkin (Milly Shapiro) stranded alone in her rural family home in the middle of nowhere for the best part of four years. This classic American clapboard house has always been the perfect quaint yet unsettling place to celebrate Halloween, and she determines to uphold the family tradition and do just that, sending a radio broadcast to anyone listening to invite them to celebrate spooky season with her. Unfortunately, the message is picked up by some less than wholesome types, led by Thalia (Shannyn Sossamon), thus setting the stage for the proverbial to hit the fan.It’s t

The pet I’ll never forget: Pumpkin, the rescue cat turned social media star

Struggling to breathe, so big she could barely walk, Pumpkin practically begged for help when we met. Before long I was taking her homePumpkin arrived at our animal shelter in March, after her owner passed away. As CEO and president of SPCA Cincinnati, I expect something heartbreaking when my team asks me to see an animal – perhaps they have been neglected or abused. Pumpkin was neither. She was dirty and had some fleas but that was not our concern. She was severely obese.At 25lb (11.3kg), Pumpkin could barely move. Her legs were bowed from the weight and she walked with a waddle. Examining her wasn’t easy. Her breathing became so laboured that she turned blue. Continue reading...

Sindhu Vee: Swanky review – from the perils of parenting to the glories of self-pleasure

Reading Town HallThe standup’s new tour covers cross-cultural identity, Hollywood mix-ups and exactly how honest to be about your children’s arts and crafts outputHow British is Sindhu Vee? And how Indian? That’s what her new standup show Swanky addresses in a wonderfully self-possessed opening that sees her give account of herself to an old duffer at a party. It’s a subject well suited to Vee’s beady and sceptical style, as she drops a tart gag about India-Pakistan relations, or later interrogates the assumptions of a micro-aggressing mum at the school gate. One might wish the whole show were themed around this topic, but its larger part majors in the relatable if not always revelatory subject of parenting. And that’s before we even mention her tacked-on final section, on another matter entirely.The parenting material dominates the show, and ranges from the generic to the specific. Spec
