Latest updates: chancellor extends furlough, universal credit uplift and stamp duty holiday
- Budget 2021: key points at a glance
- Full report: Sunak flags tax rises in budget
- The UK economyas coronavirus crisis in five charts
- Darlington named as site of planned Treasury northern campus
- UK contactless payment limit to rise to APS100
Rishi Sunak is relying on so-called fiscal drag to help bring in revenues over the next few years.
Freezing the thresholds on personal tax allowances, inheritance tax and the amount you can put into your pension pot tax-free are less politically painful than a full-blown tax rise.
Two measures Sunak says will start tackling debt -
- Freeze personal tax thresholds after next year until 2026. No rise in income tax, NI or VAT, inheritance tax threshold.
- In 2023, corporation tax up to 25% - "fair and necessary to ask them to contribute."
The tax-free Personal Allowance typically increases each year but the Chancellor has announced that it will remain at APS12,570 for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 #Budget2021 #tax #fiscaldrag
Right - Chancellor has gone full on fiscal drag machine. Freezing thresholds left, right and centre (e.g inheritance tax and VAT). We agree - set out plans for this https://t.co/qsgCmlTjXa
He's properly gone big on the Corporation Tax rise - up to 25% in 2023. Surprised he's gone that far. That's what planning for a 2024 election does for you (ie reduce tax rise pressure nearer the election/make Tory MPs vote it through now).
New OBR GDP forecast suggests the economy will grow by 3.9% in real terms between 2019 and 2024, compared to 3.7% in the November 2020 forecast. Before the crisis this was expected to be 7.1%. #Budget2021 pic.twitter.com/9kSsCTI6WW
UK growth forecasts from @OBR_UK show return to low, approx. 0.4% a quarter, trend growth after 2022 rebound: 1.7%, 1.6% and 1.7% in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Sugar rush recovery then back to the crawl - secular stagnation debate to rumble on.

Tax increases required for businesses and workers to repair public finances, says chancellor
Rishi Sunak has outlined tax rises on companies and workers to pay for an additional APS65bn of financial support to see Britain through the coronavirus pandemic, taking total government spending on the Covid crisis to more than APS400bn.
The chancellor trailed before the budget that he would extend furlough until September, and allocated billions of pounds in business grants and tax cuts to help employers while lockdown restrictions remain and the economy takes time to recover from the worst recession in 300 years.

Getting rid of the virus completely now seems an impossible project. But there are powerful arguments in its favour
A year ago, when the World Health Organization published a report showing that China had shut down a highly contagious virus in a city of 11 million people, epidemiologist Michael Baker assumed that the international body would advise the rest of the world to follow Chinaas example. When to his amazement it didnat, he decided that New Zealand (population 5 million) should go its own way, and started lobbying the government to pursue an elimination strategy.
He found some unexpected allies in New Zealandas billionaires who, hearing what he was proposing, got on the phone to cabinet ministers too. On 23 March, New Zealand shut down and seven weeks later, its citizens emerged into a virus-free country. Baker, who estimates that the move saved about 8,000 lives, later asked the billionaires why they backed him: aThey said, aWe didnat get filthy rich by not being good at assessing and managing risk.a They were in it for the long haul.a

The new HBO documentary in which Mia and Dylan Farrow revisit their 1992 allegation against Woody Allen claims to be an even-handed investigation. But its failure to present the facts makes it feel more like activism
aHBO Doc About Woody Allen & Mia Farrow Ignores Miaas 3 Dead Kids, Her Child Molester Brother, Other Family Tragediesa was the headline on one US showbiz site, above its review of the four-part documentary, Allen v Farrow, about the continuing battle between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, now entering its fourth decade. But this review was very much an outlier. In the vast main, reaction to the strongly anti-Allen series has been overwhelmingly positive, with Buzzfeed describing it as a anuanced reckoninga and Entertainment Weekly comparing it to the recent documentaries about Michael Jackson and Jeffrey Epstein. This reaction is more of a reflection of the publicas feelings towards Allen a particularly in the US a than of the documentary, which sets itself up as an investigation but much more resembles PR, as biased and partial as a political candidateas advert vilifying an opponent in election season.

Spanish dramas such as Money Heist have been taking the world by storm in recent years. But why are film-makers now flooding to the countryas north-west to make their shows?
Rosa Vargasas arrival in a small town in north-western Spain to investigate the disappearance of a young girl marked an unlikely milestone. Vargas is the fictional police detective in O sabor das margaridas (Bitter Daisies), which, in 2019 became the first series in Galician, a language spoken by fewer than 2.5 million people, to be broadcast by Netflix. The series became one of the top 10 most-watched non-English language shows in the UK and Ireland just a month after its international release.
A decade after Nordic noir captured the attention of international TV audiences, a TV genre some are calling aGalician noira is emerging from the rainy corner of Spain. HBO made its debut in the Galician language last year with a Spanish-Portuguese miniseries Auga seca (Dry Water), a murder mystery set in the port city of Vigo, and was soon followed by the Galician-produced police thriller La unidad (The Unit) on the Spanish subscription platform Movistar+. More recently, El desorden que dejas (The Mess You Leave Behind), based on a novel by the screenwriter Carlos Montero, premiered on Netflix in December.

Cerebral palsy made my body a country of error and pain. It took me years to accept the part of me that craves intimacy
The autumn I was 19, I entered my college dining hall in California just in time to overhear a boy telling a table of mutual acquaintances that he thought I was very nice, but he felt terribly sorry for me because I was going to die a virgin. This was already impossible, but in that moment all that mattered was the blunt force of the boyas certainty. He hadnat said he could never a| or aShe might be pretty, buta a| or aCan she even have sex?a or even aIad never fuck a cripplea a all sentences Iad heard or overheard by then. What he had done was, firmly, with some weird, wrong breed of kindness in his voice, drawn a border between my body and the country of desire.
It didnat matter that, by then, Iad already done my share of heated fumbling in narrow dorm-room beds; that more than one person had already looked at me and said: aIam in love with you,a and I had said it back. It didnat matter that Iad boldly kissed a boy on his back porch in sixth grade, surprising him so much that the BB gun he was holding went off, sending a squadron of brown squirrels skittering up into the trees. Most of me was certain that the boy in the dining hall was right in all the ways that really mattered. He knew Iad never be the kind of woman anyone could really want, and I knew that even my bodyas own wanting was suspect and tainted by flaw. My body was a country of error and pain. It was a doctoras best attempt, a thing to manage and make up for. It was a place to leave if I was hunting goodness, happiness or release.

A Womanas Right to Pleasure is a new compendium celebrating female erotic art. We meet its contributors, including the photographer who turned her vagina into a camera
During the darkest days of the Trump presidency, writer Alexandra Weiss and her colleagues at the Black Book gallery in New York decided to address an issue that felt increasingly pressing. For centuries, womenas sexuality had been seen as a subject for men to pick over, the man in charge at the White House being the most prominent recent offender. But there was no shortage of examples, from LaOrigine du Monde, Gustave Courbetas 1866 painting of a woman parting her legs invitingly, to Alfred Kinseyas revelatory 1953 report, Sexual Behavior in the Human Female.
It seemed a potent time to celebrate womenas perspectives on sexuality instead. Reproductive rights were under threat: among other things, the Trump administration had banned taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from referring women for terminations. Exploring womenas sexual pleasure in words and images, says Weiss, felt like aan act of resistance. Why not now? With social media, women have felt more comfortable talking about their bodies, but pleasure is often left out of the conversation.a

With Scotlandas first minister Nicola Sturgeon giving evidence today, the Guardianas Scotland correspondent, Libby Brooks, charts the unravelling of the alliance between first minister Nicola Sturgeon and her predecessor Alex Salmond a once seen as Scotlandas greatest political partnership
The Guardianas Scotland correspondent, Libby Brooks, discusses the turmoil inside the SNP, with Rachel Humphreys. Today Nicola Sturgeon gives evidence to the Scottish parliamentas inquiry into the governmentas handling of complaints of sexual assault against Alex Salmond. Sturgeon has been accused by the former first minister of possibly breaking the ministerial code and is subject to a second inquiry that will examine this.
Yesterday John Swinney, Scotlandas deputy first minister, agreed to release his governmentas legal advice on Salmondas court action after facing cross-party censure in Holyrood. It reveals that the Scottish government was warned by its senior lawyers it faced defeat in an ultimately successful legal action by Alex Salmond. The guidance, released by Scottish ministers on Tuesday, confirms that their two counsel told them the revelation that a senior official had previously met and briefed two complainers against Salmond had devastating consequences for their case. There were further developments yesterday when evidence from two other witnesses called into question Ms Sturgeonas version of events. Text messages between senior party and government officials, which Salmond last Friday claimed indicated that witnesses and the police were pressurised to pursue his criminal charges in order to overtake the judicial review, were handed over to the inquiry too.

Studies have shown that promoting wellbeing through play goes a long way to boost academic outcomes
Across the UK schools are again preparing for a phased or full return of pupils to the classroom. Most weary parents, compassionate teachers and lonely kids will be delighted to see this day come, but concerns remain about the effect that protracted school closures have had on our children and young people.
Much of the debate has focused on how to help pupils acatch upa on their alost learninga. This narrative is profoundly unhelpful and potentially damaging, due to the psychological pressure it places on children and young people. Itas our national obsession with summative assessment that makes children feel that they have afallen behinda if they havenat learned certain things at certain times. But in every year group, pupils are at various stages of cognitive, physical and emotional development. There is no such thing as abehinda, there is only where children are at. Besides, if we truly believe that everyone can be a lifelong learner, then a few months of parents struggling to teach phonics is a brief bump on their educational journey.

These rights have been central to many key justice fights in the past 20 years, and we canat allow politicians to take them away
- Kate Allen is the director of Amnesty International UK
The Human Rights Act is like serious injury insurance, or perhaps an action plan for a global pandemic: you hope you never need it.
The problem is that you might do, and it seems this horrific past year has reminded people in the UK that itas wise to foresee potential trouble ahead. In new polling we at Amnesty commissioned this week, more than two-thirds (68%) of people thought it was important to have a safety net to hold the government to account when things go wrong, while more than half (53%) believed the coronavirus pandemic had illustrated the importance of human rights protections.

The energy industry is like a smoker who goes from one pack a day to two a but claims theyare quitting because they switched to filtered cigarettes
The United Nations campaign Race to Zero recently published a paper identifying 20 pathways to reach net zero carbon emissions. In December, the British Oil & Gas Authority published a requirement that oil and gas development be aconsistent with net zeroa (despite approval of new offshore permits). BP, Shell and other multinational companies have all now published their anet zeroa pathways.

With Labour struggling to be heard, the Conservatives have become both government and opposition. It can be an asset
Unity is strength in politics, but also rare. All governments contain divisions. All prime ministers learn to live with disloyalty.
For most of the time that Boris Johnson has been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, Conservative MPs have muttered discontentedly in the background. They have agitated against lockdowns, demanded more spending and resisted tax rises.

Disaster looms if big finance is allowed to game the carbon offsetting markets to achieve anet zeroa emissions
An astonishing global shift is under way: 127 countries have now stated that by mid-century their overall emissions of carbon dioxide will be zero. That includes the EU, US, and UK by 2050 a and China by 2060. Companies are enthusiastically signing up to similar anet zeroa goals. Finally the international community seems to have accepted the scientific fact that we need to stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere to stabilise our climate. Dare we hope that the climate crisis can be brought under control?
Perhaps, but big problems remain. Long-term commitments have not resulted in sufficient near-term actions. The world is on track for emissions to be just 0.5% below 2010 levels by 2030, compared with the 45% needed on the road to net zero by 2050. The pivotal Glasgow Cop26 climate talks in November will need to tackle this. But a more insidious problem is emerging. Net zero increasingly involves highly questionable carbon accounting. As a result, the new politics swirling around net zero targets is rapidly becoming a confusing and dangerous mix of pragmatism, self-delusion and weapons-grade greenwash.

Our government is effectively forcing people to choose between heat in their apartment and the risk of deportation
If you had to choose between having running water at home or risking your home being raided by the authorities, which would you choose? The correct answer is: this shouldnat even be a question.
But itas become one. The startling truth is that signing up for even basic utilities in this country has turned into a gamble for many people, particularly undocumented immigrants. Last week, the Washington Post revealed that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) has paid tens of millions of dollars since 2017 for access to a private database that contains more than a400m names, addresses and service records from more than 80 utility companies covering all the staples of modern life, including water, gas and electricity, and phone, internet and cable TVa. The information has been mined by Ice, the Post reported, for immigration surveillance and enforcement operations.

India could deny Australia a place in the final of the World Test Championship in June, but not if England win the final Test

I donat know how to feel about it.a Picture a couple of men huddled over a table in the corner of a pub a there have been millions of variations of a conversation like this. In the beer garden of the Great Northern Hotel in Melbourne last week, though, I was offering solace to a friend about having to support England in a cricket match.
The World Test Championship final in June will feature two teams who qualify based on their win-draw-loss percentage in their relevant matches. New Zealand have secured their place in the final, with the remaining place being between Australia and India. India will pip Australia to the spot by beating or drawing with England in the final match of their ongoing series, currently led by India 2-1. So Australia need England to win instead; one half of the Ashes rivalry relying on the other.

After a brief Super League spell with Warrington, Newcastle centre says he is back from aa dark placea and has not given up on England
For the first time in a long time, Luther Burrell is happy. aLife right now is good, certainly in comparison to the places Iave been in,a the 33-year-old says as he begins to describe his experiences of a whirlwind two years that have taken him from rugby union to league and back again.
Burrell, who played league as a teenager in his home town of Huddersfield, had big plans for his move to Warrington Wolves in spring 2019. Unlike other players who had switched from union to league in the past, Burrellas experience of league in his formative years left many believing he would thrive in Super League, and replicate his success in union. aI felt I had everything there to have a really good go at it, but ultimately, it just wasnat meant to be,a he reflects.

With Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel AlmirA3n all injured, Newcastle are desperately short of goals
By Martin Laurence for WhoScored
Rewind a few weeks and it looked as if Newcastle had seen the light at the end of a long and gloomy tunnel. After a run of 11 games without a win in all competitions, nine of which were defeats, they went to Goodison Park and beat Everton 2-0. aThey showed more fighting spirit, more concentration and more motivation,a said a frustrated Carlo Ancelotti as Newcastle moved nine points clear of the relegation zone. Steve Bruceas side had also shown some fighting spirit in their previous game, firing off 15 shots in the second half against Leeds, only to lose 2-1. Finally, they were displaying some attacking verve.
The teamas inability to create chances had heaped the pressure on to Bruce, even if Mike Ashleyas seemingly everlasting presence was always likely to prevent a sacking, so a thoroughly deserved victory at Goodison was a bolt from the blue. Though a home defeat to Crystal Palace followed, Newcastle again dominated the shots department, with 21 to six, before they pulled off a remarkable 3-2 win over Southampton with nine men.

The Department of Defense has this morning issued a scathing review of Rep Ronny Jackson during his time serving as the top White House physician. The report was obtained by CNN, and conclude that he made asexual and denigratinga comments about a female subordinate, drank alcohol while on a presidential trip, and took prescription-strength sleeping medication that prompted colleagues to be worried about his ability to provide proper care. CNN write:
After interviewing 78 witnesses and reviewing a host of White House documents, investigators concluded that Jackson, who achieved the rank of Rear Admiral, failed to treat his subordinates with dignity and respect, engaged in inappropriate conduct involving the use of alcohol during two incidents and used sleeping medication during an overseas trip that raised concerns about his ability to provide medical care to the President and other top officials, according to the report.
The report also notes that the investigation into Jackson awas limited in scope and unproductivea as White House counsel under Trump insisted on being present at all interviews of current White House Medical Unit employees, which had a apotential chilling effecta on the probe.

The USA full-back is attracting the attention of clubs across Europe after his transfer to Portugal. The move across the Atlantic has also made him reflect on home
There is no hesitation from Reggie Cannon when he considers whether his view of America has changed since moving to Europe. aOne hundred million percent,a the US full-back explains from his Porto home. aLooking at the insurrection, Texas freezing over right now a| explaining to my teammates what is going on in the country is baffling to me. Explaining the America I have lived in to those who donat live in America, it feels like I am describing medieval times.a

A Womanas Right to Pleasure is a new compendium celebrating female erotic art. We meet its contributors, including the photographer who turned her vagina into a camera
During the darkest days of the Trump presidency, writer Alexandra Weiss and her colleagues at the Black Book gallery in New York decided to address an issue that felt increasingly pressing. For centuries, womenas sexuality had been seen as a subject for men to pick over, the man in charge at the White House being the most prominent recent offender. But there was no shortage of examples, from LaOrigine du Monde, Gustave Courbetas 1866 painting of a woman parting her legs invitingly, to Alfred Kinseyas revelatory 1953 report, Sexual Behavior in the Human Female.
It seemed a potent time to celebrate womenas perspectives on sexuality instead. Reproductive rights were under threat: among other things, the Trump administration had banned taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from referring women for terminations. Exploring womenas sexual pleasure in words and images, says Weiss, felt like aan act of resistance. Why not now? With social media, women have felt more comfortable talking about their bodies, but pleasure is often left out of the conversation.a

Our government is effectively forcing people to choose between heat in their apartment and the risk of deportation
If you had to choose between having running water at home or risking your home being raided by the authorities, which would you choose? The correct answer is: this shouldnat even be a question.
But itas become one. The startling truth is that signing up for even basic utilities in this country has turned into a gamble for many people, particularly undocumented immigrants. Last week, the Washington Post revealed that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) has paid tens of millions of dollars since 2017 for access to a private database that contains more than a400m names, addresses and service records from more than 80 utility companies covering all the staples of modern life, including water, gas and electricity, and phone, internet and cable TVa. The information has been mined by Ice, the Post reported, for immigration surveillance and enforcement operations.

Getting rid of the virus completely now seems an impossible project. But there are powerful arguments in its favour
A year ago, when the World Health Organization published a report showing that China had shut down a highly contagious virus in a city of 11 million people, epidemiologist Michael Baker assumed that the international body would advise the rest of the world to follow Chinaas example. When to his amazement it didnat, he decided that New Zealand (population 5 million) should go its own way, and started lobbying the government to pursue an elimination strategy.
He found some unexpected allies in New Zealandas billionaires who, hearing what he was proposing, got on the phone to cabinet ministers too. On 23 March, New Zealand shut down and seven weeks later, its citizens emerged into a virus-free country. Baker, who estimates that the move saved about 8,000 lives, later asked the billionaires why they backed him: aThey said, aWe didnat get filthy rich by not being good at assessing and managing risk.a They were in it for the long haul.a

Studies have shown that promoting wellbeing through play goes a long way to boost academic outcomes
Across the UK schools are again preparing for a phased or full return of pupils to the classroom. Most weary parents, compassionate teachers and lonely kids will be delighted to see this day come, but concerns remain about the effect that protracted school closures have had on our children and young people.
Much of the debate has focused on how to help pupils acatch upa on their alost learninga. This narrative is profoundly unhelpful and potentially damaging, due to the psychological pressure it places on children and young people. Itas our national obsession with summative assessment that makes children feel that they have afallen behinda if they havenat learned certain things at certain times. But in every year group, pupils are at various stages of cognitive, physical and emotional development. There is no such thing as abehinda, there is only where children are at. Besides, if we truly believe that everyone can be a lifelong learner, then a few months of parents struggling to teach phonics is a brief bump on their educational journey.

Disaster looms if big finance is allowed to game the carbon offsetting markets to achieve anet zeroa emissions
An astonishing global shift is under way: 127 countries have now stated that by mid-century their overall emissions of carbon dioxide will be zero. That includes the EU, US, and UK by 2050 a and China by 2060. Companies are enthusiastically signing up to similar anet zeroa goals. Finally the international community seems to have accepted the scientific fact that we need to stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere to stabilise our climate. Dare we hope that the climate crisis can be brought under control?
Perhaps, but big problems remain. Long-term commitments have not resulted in sufficient near-term actions. The world is on track for emissions to be just 0.5% below 2010 levels by 2030, compared with the 45% needed on the road to net zero by 2050. The pivotal Glasgow Cop26 climate talks in November will need to tackle this. But a more insidious problem is emerging. Net zero increasingly involves highly questionable carbon accounting. As a result, the new politics swirling around net zero targets is rapidly becoming a confusing and dangerous mix of pragmatism, self-delusion and weapons-grade greenwash.

With Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel AlmirA3n all injured, Newcastle are desperately short of goals
By Martin Laurence for WhoScored
Rewind a few weeks and it looked as if Newcastle had seen the light at the end of a long and gloomy tunnel. After a run of 11 games without a win in all competitions, nine of which were defeats, they went to Goodison Park and beat Everton 2-0. aThey showed more fighting spirit, more concentration and more motivation,a said a frustrated Carlo Ancelotti as Newcastle moved nine points clear of the relegation zone. Steve Bruceas side had also shown some fighting spirit in their previous game, firing off 15 shots in the second half against Leeds, only to lose 2-1. Finally, they were displaying some attacking verve.
The teamas inability to create chances had heaped the pressure on to Bruce, even if Mike Ashleyas seemingly everlasting presence was always likely to prevent a sacking, so a thoroughly deserved victory at Goodison was a bolt from the blue. Though a home defeat to Crystal Palace followed, Newcastle again dominated the shots department, with 21 to six, before they pulled off a remarkable 3-2 win over Southampton with nine men.

With Scotlandas first minister Nicola Sturgeon giving evidence today, the Guardianas Scotland correspondent, Libby Brooks, charts the unravelling of the alliance between first minister Nicola Sturgeon and her predecessor Alex Salmond a once seen as Scotlandas greatest political partnership
The Guardianas Scotland correspondent, Libby Brooks, discusses the turmoil inside the SNP, with Rachel Humphreys. Today Nicola Sturgeon gives evidence to the Scottish parliamentas inquiry into the governmentas handling of complaints of sexual assault against Alex Salmond. Sturgeon has been accused by the former first minister of possibly breaking the ministerial code and is subject to a second inquiry that will examine this.
Yesterday John Swinney, Scotlandas deputy first minister, agreed to release his governmentas legal advice on Salmondas court action after facing cross-party censure in Holyrood. It reveals that the Scottish government was warned by its senior lawyers it faced defeat in an ultimately successful legal action by Alex Salmond. The guidance, released by Scottish ministers on Tuesday, confirms that their two counsel told them the revelation that a senior official had previously met and briefed two complainers against Salmond had devastating consequences for their case. There were further developments yesterday when evidence from two other witnesses called into question Ms Sturgeonas version of events. Text messages between senior party and government officials, which Salmond last Friday claimed indicated that witnesses and the police were pressurised to pursue his criminal charges in order to overtake the judicial review, were handed over to the inquiry too.

The new HBO documentary in which Mia and Dylan Farrow revisit their 1992 allegation against Woody Allen claims to be an even-handed investigation. But its failure to present the facts makes it feel more like activism

But this review was very much an outlier. In the vast main, reaction to the strongly anti-Allen series has been overwhelmingly positive, with Buzzfeed describing it as a anuanced reckoninga and Entertainment Weekly comparing it to the recent documentaries about Michael Jackson and Jeffrey Epstein. This reaction is more of a reflection of the publicas feelings towards Allen a particularly in the US a than of the documentary, which sets itself up as an investigation but much more resembles PR, as biased and partial as a political candidateas advert vilifying an opponent in election season.

The mock trial of a teacher puts history on the stand in Radu Judeas peculiar revenge porn story a but what is it telling us?
Radu Judeas new film, with its rambling and self-consciously inelegant title, is an absurdist provocation, or an obsessive-compulsive disruption, like the photograph of the dadaist Benjamin PA(c)ret insulting a priest in the street.
Itas about the anger and frustration of Romania, and maybe of all of us, at the Covid outbreak, and our creeping suspicion that standard-issue human unhappiness will survive even when, or if, the disease is eradicated. Most of all, this is about porn, and even when it is not about porn, it is somehow still about porn and the porn aesthetic of social media. There is a bleak humour here, but also a kind of redundancy: the film constitutes a huge comedy pratfall that isnat perhaps every bit as funny and meaningful as it was supposed to be.

The delightful Laure Calamy hijacks a family trekking holiday in this warm comedy of infidelity and animal magnetism
In a Paris primary school, a class of eight-year-olds sit behind their desks, eyes squeezed shut, counting to 20. At the back of the room their teacher, Antoinette (Laure Calamy), is getting undressed, slipping into silk frock for the school concert. aItas not too much?a she asks the pupils. Sheas having an affair with one of the dads a heas married. Thus, with unparalleled Frenchness, begins this easygoing, warm comedy following Antoinette as she accidentally-on-purpose goes on the same donkey-trekking holiday as her loveras family. As Antoinette bonds with her donkey, the movie evolves from gentle farce to journey of emotional growth. You might call it Eat Bray, Love a except itas European, so thereas less pseudo-spiritual self-discovery and more drunken snogging.
Antoinette is meant to be spending the first week of summer holidays alone with lover Vladimir (Benjamin Lavernhe) while his family are at the beach. Instead, when his wife surprises him with a family hiking holiday, Antoinette impulsively books herself a place, too: six days of 20km hikes, staying in hostels. She arrives in teeny denim hot pants and huge wedge sandals a thereas as much Bridget Jones in her DNA as Julia Roberts. But Vladimir is nowhere to be seen, and, predictably, itas not love at first sight with her stubborn donkey Patrick either.

A young Irish woman looks back on a toxic relationship in an impressive first novel with a niggling strand of moralism
aThere was no religion in my life after early childhood, and a great faith in love was what I had cultivated instead.a The narrator of Acts of Desperation is in her early 20s, living a makeshift, hungover life in a Dublin bedsit, when she falls in love with Ciaran. Happiest when in a sacrificial role, she gives everything to pleasing him, though he is cold, sometimes cruel, and still in love with an ex-girlfriend. Intimate scenes from the 2012-14 narrative of their relationship are interspersed with essayistic commentary by the narrator from 2019. Megan Nolan is a journalist whose New Statesman column tackles some of the issues of millennial womanhood the book addresses, but the essayistic sections arenat quite in her journalistic voice.
There is so much to admire in this extremely impressive first novel, which captures an intense experience with clarity and style. It is fully itself, and flawless in its way. I also found it claustrophobic, and airless. This is obviously the point a the narrator wilfully removes herself from any sources of energy, letting life narrow to the flat she shares with Ciaran: the effortful meals she assembles in the kitchen, the increasingly joyless sex they have in their bed, the masochistic fantasies described in her diaries, the bottles of wine drunk secretly. These are scenes that Nolan evokes powerfully. But thereas more to the airlessness than the narratoras claustrophobia. I found, as a reader, that there was also an airlessness in the moral vision.

The former judge and renowned historian loses his cool on Covid and the culture wars
Jonathan Sumption has always been more than just a lawyer. For many years he was the brilliant QC and then supreme court justice who somehow found time on the side to write a definitive, multivolume history of the hundred years war: a true Renaissance man. Over the past 12 months he has emerged as a very different sort of public figure: the take-no-prisoners lockdown sceptic. He gained recent tabloid notoriety by telling Deborah James, who has stage 4 bowel cancer, that her life was aless valuablea than that of others with longer life expectancy. Sumption claims that his words were taken out of context, though as a historian he must know that we donat always get to choose the context in which our words are read. It is certainly a case study in how quickly one sort of reputation can morph into another.
This collection of essays, based on speeches Sumption has given over more than a decade, tries to pull the different sides of his intellectual persona together. Though law is their unifying theme, he begins with reflections on history and ends with a blistering attack on the governmentas draconian response to Covid-19. It is as a historian that he is at his most urbane and appealing. A believer in the power of history to broaden our minds and constrain our hubris a he says that the world would be in better shape today if Woodrow Wilson, US president 100 years ago, had been a historian rather than a political scientist a Sumption also manages to celebrate his status as a gentleman amateur among the professionals. How, his friends ask him, have you managed to write all those books while doing all that law? By not being an academic, is his answer. The professionals are far too busy being academics to have proper time to reflect.

Fraser says the level of damages awarded - more than APS512,000 - indicated displeasure at the government continuing the case and again questions why the government did not drop its case on 6 December?

The autumn I was 19, I entered my college dining hall in California just in time to overhear a boy telling a table of mutual acquaintances that he thought I was very nice, but he felt terribly sorry for me because I was going to die a virgin. This was already impossible, but in that moment all that mattered was the blunt force of the boyas certainty. He hadnat said he could never a| or aShe might be pretty, buta a| or aCan she even have sex?a or even aIad never fuck a cripplea a all sentences Iad heard or overheard by then. What he had done was, firmly, with some weird, wrong breed of kindness in his voice, drawn a border between my body and the country of desire.
It didnat matter that, by then, Iad already done my share of heated fumbling in narrow dorm-room beds; that more than one person had already looked at me and said: aIam in love with you,a and I had said it back. It didnat matter that Iad boldly kissed a boy on his back porch in sixth grade, surprising him so much that the BB gun he was holding went off, sending a squadron of brown squirrels skittering up into the trees. Most of me was certain that the boy in the dining hall was right in all the ways that really mattered. He knew Iad never be the kind of woman anyone could really want, and I knew that even my bodyas own wanting was suspect and tainted by flaw. My body was a country of error and pain. It was a doctoras best attempt, a thing to manage and make up for. It was a place to leave if I was hunting goodness, happiness or release.

My husband had an affair and, after we split up, I also had another partner. Now we are reconciled, but it still seems to be affecting us
My husband and I have been married for almost eight years. In 2019, after a period in which we rarely had sex, he went behind my back and starting seeing another woman. This led us to split and, shortly after, I found a temporary partner as well. After talking it over and getting over ourselves, we got back together. But now the sex doesnat seem as great as it was when we first met. Iam worried heas going to shout another womanas name, and heas worried he isnat satisfying me (Iave told him he is). Recently weave been bringing up the past, and itas tearing us apart again because he thinks I want to be with the guy I was with after we separated.
You and your husband experienced a great trial by fire, yet you decided to return to each other. Therefore, it is highly likely you will manage to sustain your relationship in the future, but only if you can agree to stop torturing each other. You need to establish some mutually acceptable ground rules for your life together. First of all, any mention of other lovers should be entirely off limits. Second, both of you are by now well aware of each otheras insecurities, and must work with love and kindness to help soothe them a never to aggravate the wounds. If you have deep resentments towards each other, get them out in the air once and for all now a preferably supported (virtually) by a good counsellor. Then agree to move on and leave the past behind you. In your life together a including in your conversations and erotic contact a it is vital that the intent of each of you is to support, love and soothe the other. It takes time and work to rebuild trust.

Feature-packed health and fitness-tracking smartwatch has advanced sensors but failure to address screen and battery repairs is poor
Fitbit is attempting to challenge the dominance of the Apple Watch with the Sense: a smartwatch packed with advanced health sensors for stress, heart rate and ECG wrapped up in a neat and tidy package. But be careful, because if you damage the watch, it appears you canat even pay Fitbit to fix it.
It costs APS300 and is Fitbitas top model above the APS200 Versa 3, which is essentially the same smartwatch without the advanced sensors, plus a cheaper line of fitness trackers.
