Sheffield bumped their record down to 1-2-9 with that defeat, which was their fifth straight on the road. As for Bournemouth, their victory bumped their record up to 2-3-7. WL — A splendid, deeply engaged account of George Eliot’s marriage, and her radical philosophy of relationships from our critic Anna Leszkiewicz. I came to this essay cold, having never (embarrassingly) read Middlemarch – I may have mentioned – and left knowing far more than I did. Who knew Eliot was treated so awfully by her contemporaries? Katherine Cowles, our theatre critic, attended the play everyone is talking about ( A Little Life , based on the novel by Hanya Yanagihara). Read her review and spare yourself a visit. This is a play better dissected for its bizarre popularity – as a book, and as a prospect for the stage – than it is enjoyed. Yes, at the next election Labour will commit to spend more and the Conservatives will commit to tax less. But both are wary of deviating from economic orthodoxy (Labour recalls the fate of Corbyn and McDonnell; the Conservatives the fate of Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng). Whichever party wins power, most of the pillars of the Thatcherite settlement will endure: privatised utilities, a flexible labour market, a financialised economy.

Feels like temperature considers other factors, such as wind speed and humidity. This gives you a better For our weekend essay Lyndsey Stonebridge considers the many afterlives of Martin Heidegger, the German thinker whose heavy flirtation with Nazism probably makes him the most radioactive philosopher of the 20th century. Stonebridge is good on the contemporary hard-right’s fandom of Heidegger, whether that’s in Russia (Alexander Dugin) or the US (Richard B Spencer and Steve Bannon). Still, Heidegger’s call for existential courage, however contaminated, does not belong to extremists alone. Solzhenitsyn, like Kundera, still had hope in his “One Word of Truth…” Nobel speech in 1970. Then, after living in the West like Kundera, he lost it and eventually became a Russian nationalist in his homeland.

But the Serbian government has also been eager to welcome Russian émigrés for other, more practical reasons. In short, the Russian newcomers are flush with cash, which Serbia desperately needs. Serbia also sees the influx of Russians as a potential antidote to the problem of demographic oblivion, as its own talented young people leave the country in droves for better opportunities in the West. Five days. Two fringe political conferences. One Conservative Party at war with itself. The question that hangs over the Tories now, as absurd as it sounds with the next general election at least a year away, is: what comes after Sunak?

As British politics heads towards an election, and the rhetoric escalates, a banal reality is revealing itself: Labour and the Tories are moving closer together. There is, George Eaton writes this week, a quiet consensus developing between the parties. Policies that were once dismissed by the right as Marxist are now announced in Tory budgets, as Jeremy Hunt showed this week. Both parties are accepting of a bigger state, of Brexit, of clamping down on crime. Is political radicalism dead? Summed up in two words: embarrassing shitshow. Tim Davie and Richard Sharp have lost the dressing room .” Our media correspondent, William Turvill, has the latest on the BBC. HL: You talk optimistically about Gulf state involvement in Gaza’s future, but their reaction was initially very supportive of the Palestinian cause. As an adult, Adel still in many ways embodied the effects of the conflict – in her eagerness to talk, her composure in grief, and her matter-of-fact desire for vengeance. (“I hope that what happened to Iraq happens to America,” she says calmly at one point. “I never wished harm on anyone – but I wish it upon them.”)
