A wise old detective once told me: "There’s no such thing as coincidence." As I read about the horrific attack on 80-year-old pensioner Brenda Raymond, which occurred in Watford this week when she was sprayed with flammable liquid and set alight, the words of my former colleague chimed with me louder than ever. Right now, Brenda is fighting for her life in hospital, and Hertfordshire Police are hoping the public will come forward and help them. There were many factors about the attack on Bren...
From the US midterms to Brazil and Hungary, extremists are floundering yet the left still overestimates their power.

The band’s uneven 2003 album has been judiciously reworked to accompany a staging of Shakespeare’s tragedy with quite extraordinary results According to the programme notes, Thom Yorke had serious reservations about director Christine Jones’ idea to stage a production of Hamlet featuring music from Radiohead’s 2003 album Hail to the Thief. Who can blame him? Many criticisms have been laid at Radiohead’s door but being hopelessly naff isn’t one of them, and, alas, naff is very much the adjecti...
Cold pears stained red with tart hibiscus and offset by a hot, creamy, spiced rice pudding Hibiscus has a tart, berry-like flavour, and turns these pears a jewel-bright crimson in colour. The pears are best poached a day ahead, because they’ll deepen in colour and flavour while they chill in the syrup. I especially like the contrast of the cold, gently tangy pears against a warm, creamy rice pudding that’s fragrant with cardamom, bay, lemon and vanilla. A scattering of pistachios adds a final...

She said in her vows, “I don’t know what life is going to have in store for us, but I know our love for each other is always constant.” Ten days later, I found myself in a swamp in Botswana with my intestines hanging out of my back.
