    Henry Higgins: We’re sitting on 540 football pitches of wasted NHS land – let’s house our Nurses on it

    Every one of these schemes proves the model. None has been allowed to become the default. The real opportunity is that nobody has scaled it yet. We should be good at exactly this: rolling out a proven idea everywhere it applies. A model that already works has no business staying a pilot.

    There’s no such thing as coincidence – the fire attack on poor Brenda Raymond brings back memories of an unsolved murder

    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...

    Progressives are still so pessimistic, but why? The populist right can and will be defeated | Andy Beckett

    From the US midterms to Brazil and Hungary, extremists are floundering yet the left still overestimates their power. Reality is on our side From Brazil to Hungary and Britain to the US, why are so many people so surprised by the right’s election defeats? Flávio Bolsonaro, Viktor Orbán, Reform UK, the Tories and a vast array of Republican candidates have all been rejected in national or local contests this year, even in usually reliably conservative Mississippi. Apparently impregnable incumben...

    Hamlet Hail to the Thief could have been rotten but redeems Radiohead’s ‘record that got away’ | Alexis Petridis

    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...
