Sources predict โtoe-curlingโ revelations as more than 1,000 pages of documents relating to his appointment as US ambassador to be published Mandelson files show no mitigation of security concerns Good morning. Many people despair at the quality of governance in Britain at the moment, but in one respect we are living through a golden age; if you are interested in contemporary history, and learning about what actually happens at the heart of government, then you can now โ sometimes โ access the sort of information never available before. Today the government is publishing a mass of information โ apparently running to three volumes, and more than 1,000 pages โ containing the private messages Peter Mandelson exchanged with government ministers and officials when he was ambassador to the US, and before his appointment. Last month a minister compared this to the evidence released as part of the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war. But the Chilcot inquiry took place in the era before WhatsApp, and it was publishing secret memos โ intended for circulation within Whitehall. WhatsApp messages are a lot more personal; reading them is like being able to eavesdrop on a private conversation. Mandelson is a man with spiky, controversial views, who loves gossip and plotting, and whose private views donโt always accord with what he has said in public. It should be fascinating. I think the level of transparency is going to be unprecedented. The volume of information thatโs going to be put out is unprecedented. Itโs right we do that. We have been very clear that the appointment of Mandelson was wrong. Continue reading...
Longborough Festival Opera, Moreton-in-Marsh Sinรฉad OโNeillโs production is persuasive and Beth Taylorโs performace as Orlando is extraordinary in this tale of unrequited love, madness and magic The woodland outside Longboroughโs theatre, deep in the Cotswolds, sneaks inside and on to the stage for its season-opening production of Orlando. With a story that sometimes seems little more than an excuse for a series of showpiece arias, itโs not an obvious choice for the festivalโs first Handel opera in a decade, but Sinรฉad OโNeillโs production has confidence in the work and is persuasive enough to lead us through. The flimsy plot comes from Ariostoโs poem Orlando Furioso. High-ranking warrior Orlando loves princess Angelica, but sheโs not interested; she loves Medoro. Low-ranking shepherdess Dorinda loves Medoro โ but he loves Angelica, see above. The usual baroque-opera love triangles and noble self-sacrifice are absent, and what we have instead is the stuff of school lunch-queue gossip. Someone hears words that werenโt meant for them and jumps to conclusions; someone else has unwisely given away a special bracelet. Then Orlando cracks: he has an extended, musically arresting mad scene and then goes on a murderous rampage thatโs cleared up by the presiding magician, Zoroastro, thus allowing for a happy ending.

The star didn't have the best of games, with many arguing he could have done better for Kai Havertz's opener. He also failed to save a penalty, but Eberechi Eze and Gabriel fired off target.
Speaking at Amazonโs AI on the Lot event, the Rogue One film-maker Gareth Edwards said โitโll do anything you askโ and โitโs going to be better than CGIโ Jurassic World Rebirth and Rogue One director Gareth Edwards has enthusiastically endorsed the use of generative AI in film-making, saying โit is a fucking genius at helping youโ and โitโs going to be better than CGIโ. Edwards was speaking at AI on the Lot, an event in Culver City, California, organised by Amazon, and in remarks reported by the Hollywood Reporter said: โI canโt see a reason why you wouldnโt become interested in this stuff as a film-maker. Itโs so clearly a tool that might be up there with the camera. Itโs going to be better than CGI.โ Continue reading...
Neither side seems interested in a return to all-out conflict, despite the latest exchange of strikes.
A behind-the-scenes second world war drama focused on the importance of weather is too stodgy and repetitive to work as anything but a so-so TV movie In a world of increasingly segmented audiences, the new movie Pressure cleverly brings together two adjacent demographics: weather dads and history dads. Those designations are honorifics, not gender-essentialist; spiritually dad-curious people of all ages (but, letโs be real: mostly over 50) may be interested in a behind-the-scenes story set in the last few days leading up to the allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Because this is the largest-scale seaborne invasion ever mounted, weather is a major factor, and the movie follows military higher-ups as they work around the clock trying to figure out whether a possible incoming storm will create unfavorable or impossible conditions. To put it in contemporary terms, this is essentially a movie about Dwight Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) nervously refreshing his weather app to see if he needs to change his upcoming plans. The weather app is played by Andrew Scott. Scottโs actual character is James Stagg, a somewhat brusque and chilly Scotsman brought in to the D-day planning as the operationโs chief meteorological officer. Stagg quickly clashes with the American Irving Krick (Chris Messina), who knows that D-day is crucial and time is of the essence โ and is therefore bullish about (selectively) using past data to โpredictโ that the storms will quickly pass. Staggโs analysis is far less optimistic. Anyone who has held tickets to a forecast-dependent outdoor concert will relate. Continue reading...
In a damning assessment, the former prime minister said Labour has retreated into a Left-wing 'comfort zone', with ministers more interested in increasing welfare than boosting the economy.
Ursula von der Leyen visiting Lithuania amid drone incursions as diplomats are called over Russian requests for envoys to leave the Ukrainian capital Back to Ukraine, the EU has summoned Russiaโs top diplomat in Brussels over Russian warnings telling foreigners and diplomats to leave Kyiv amid planned new strikes on the Ukrainian capital. EUโs foreign policy spokesperson Anitta Hipper said on X: โ[Russian] threat to foreign citizens & diplomats to leave Kyiv is an unacceptable escalation. @eu_eeas summoned the Chargรฉ dโAffairs, calling to stop hitting civilians & [Russia] to engage in genuine peace talks starting with a full and unconditional ceasefire. @EUDelegationUA stays in Kyiv.โ โ[The threat] shows once more, actually, one thing that we already knew, that Russia is absolutely not interested in any peace and has a total disregard for all the efforts towards the peace.โ Continue reading...
When her sibling died in an accident the singer-songwriter sought comfort in music. But after finding that the most celebrated records about loss were angry, loud and male, she set about creating something very different In the months after her sisterโs death, singer-songwriter Liz Lawrence couldnโt even listen to music, let alone play it. โI was very much, โThatโs in the past and I donโt know whatโs going to be asked of me now,โโ she says. โI didnโt think about my work. I wasnโt interested. I didnโt have any appetite for it.โ After slowly gravitating back to music via female vocalists such as Lisa OโNeill, Adrianne Lenker and Joanna Newsom, and as the time afforded to grieving was squeezed out by a life still ongoing, Lawrence realised she needed songs that allowed her to return to that โspace of contemplation, reflection and sadnessโ. She quickly searched out a Reddit thread of the best grief albums of all time, only to find a lengthy list of very specific rock and metal records chiefly made by men. โI was just looking for open and frank sadness,โ she says, as opposed to the anger broiling within the suggested albums. That plain-speaking despair permeates Lawrenceโs beautiful fifth album, Vespers, an unvarnished tribute to elder sister Jessie, who died suddenly in 2024 following an accident while on holiday with her partner and two small children in Ireland.
