US judge finds probable cause to hold Trump officials in contempt over alien act deportations
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 18:50:47 GMT

Judge also warned he could name independent prosecutor if White House stonewalled contempt proceedings

• US politics live – latest updates

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that there was probable cause to hold Trump officials in criminal contempt for violating his temporary injunction that barred the use of the Alien Enemies Act wartime power to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.

In a scathing 46-page opinion, James Boasberg, the chief US district judge for Washington, wrote that senior Trump officials could either return the people who were supposed to have been protected by his injunction, or face contempt proceedings.

The supreme court didn’t rule on the definition of ‘a woman’ – this is what its judgment does mean | Sam Fowles
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 16:50:50 GMT

The judges had to interpret the law as set down by parliament. But it must be remembered this is not an abstract debate; it concerns real people

• Sam Fowles is a barrister

The supreme court, headlines say, has ruled on “the definition of a woman”. Except it hasn’t. As the court says, in paragraph 2 of its judgment: “It is not the role of the court to adjudicate on the arguments in the public domain on the meaning of gender or sex, nor is it to define the meaning of the word ‘woman’ other than when it is used in the provisions of the [Equality Act] 2010.”

So what is the court’s decision actually about? In 2018, the Scottish parliament passed a law encouraging public boards to have 50% representation for women. For Women Scotland, a group that describes itself as “working to protect women’s rights”, asked the court to strike the law down because it included transgender women. There followed a series of legal challenges which eventually made their way to the supreme court.

Trump’s deportation ‘mistake’: the man trapped in a prison in El Salvador
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 02:00:57 GMT

Kilmar Ábrego García was deported, detained and flown to a notorious prison – before officials admitted they had made an error. Why is he still there? Maanvi Singh reports

Kilmar Ábrego García was 16 when he came to the US, after his family were targeted by criminal gangs in his home of El Salvador. He joined his brother in Maryland and started a new life.

In 2019, he was arrested by immigration officials and accused of being a gang member, but his lawyers argued there was no evidence for this, pointed out he had no criminal convictions and insisted he should not be sent back to a country where he was himself at risk from criminal gangs. A judge agreed and gave him protected status so he could not be deported.

Arguing Against CALEA
2025-04-08T11:08:13Z

At a Congressional hearing earlier this week, Matt Blaze made the point that CALEA, the 1994 law that forces telecoms to make phone calls wiretappable, is outdated in today’s threat environment and should be rethought:

In other words, while the legally-mandated CALEA capability requirements have changed little over the last three decades, the infrastructure that must implement and protect it has changed radically. This has greatly expanded the “attack surface” that must be defended to prevent unauthorized wiretaps, especially at scale. The job of the illegal eavesdropper has gotten significantly easier, with many more options and opportunities for them to exploit. Compromising our telecommunications infrastructure is now little different from performing any other kind of computer intrusion or data breach, a well-known and endemic cybersecurity problem. To put it bluntly, something like Salt Typhoon was inevitable, and will likely happen again unless significant changes are made...

Trump press secretary attacks Maryland senator for traveling to El Salvador – as it happened
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 01:37:04 GMT

This blog has now closed. You can read our latest story here

US attorney general Pam Bondi on Wednesday unveiled legal action against Maine, in an escalation of Donald Trump’s conflict with the state for refusing to ban transgender athletes from participating in women’s and girls’ sports.

Reuters reports that the lawsuit comes five days after the administration tried to cut off all of Maine’s federal funding for public schools and its school lunch program over the issue, following a 21 February meeting of Trump and a group of US governors where he clashed with Maine’s Democratic governor, Janet Mills.

Nothing in Title IX or its implementing regulations prohibits schools from allowing transgender girls and women to participate on girls’ and women’s sports teams. Your letters to date do not cite a single case that so holds.

It was a compelling meeting. And toward the end, we actually came up with – I’m going to say ‘finally,’ but I don’t mean it in the way that we were waiting, I mean it in the way that it took a while for us to get to this place – what Putin’s request is to get, to have a permanent peace here.

The US president has upset global norms in the space of weeks, spurring a flurry of defence spending, diplomatic overtures and offers to boost trade

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has stoked fears over Washington’s commitment to the security of its allies in the Asia Pacific at a time when tensions are running high in the region, home to several potential flashpoints.

Countries across the region are urgently considering their options in a new era where the US president has sided with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, suggested “cleaning out” Gaza in order to redevelop it, and unleashed punishing tariffs on allies and enemies alike.

Ukraine war briefing: Zelenskyy hails ‘good progress’ on minerals deal talks
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:35:01 GMT

Ukrainian president says legalities almost finalised and officials signal US concessions in talks that are progressing ‘quite fast’; deadly Shahed strike on Dnipro. What we know on day 1,149

Minerals deal negotiators have made “good progress”, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said on Wednesday. A senior official with knowledge of the negotiations told Agence France-Presse that newer drafts of the US-Ukraine accord appeared not to recognise previous US military aid as a debt owed by Ukraine, adding that talks were moving forward “quite fast”. That assessment echoed a report by Bloomberg News that said Washington had eased a demand that Kyiv pay for aid already delivered since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

“The basic legal stuff is almost finalised, and then, if everything moves as quickly and constructively, the agreement will bring economic results to both our countries,” Zelenskyy said in his daily address on Wednesday. The Trump administration has demanded some sort of deal giving the US a large share of critical minerals or what Donald Trump calls “rare earths” and other Ukrainian natural resources in return for military aid. Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine will not recognise previous aid approved under the Biden administration as a loan requiring repayment, but he expects to have to pay the US upfront going forward.

A mass attack of Russian “Shahed” drones killed three people and injured at least 28 on Wednesday in Dnipro city, said officials. A baby aged nine months was among the injured, said the regional governor, Sergiy Lysak. In the Kharkiv region, the governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said a Russian missile attack injured two people in the town of Izium.

Russian attacks in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson killed one person and wounded three more on Wednesday in an apparent so-called double-tap strike, officials said. Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the region, said Russian attacks had continued as rescue workers arrived on the scene.

Ukraine said on Wednesday it had detained nine people including five teenagers aged between 14 and 15 on suspicion of preparing sabotage attacks on behalf of Russian security services. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said some of the suspects were planning to plant explosives near residential buildings or railway lines, including with improvised explosive devices, adding agents had seized more than 30kg of explosives. The SBU in March accused Russia of blowing up two teenage boys it had recruited to make bombs and plant them near a Ukrainian railway station.

The Kremlin on Wednesday refused to say when a supposed 30-day moratorium on strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure would end – or whether it would be extended. Putin said on 18 March that he had ordered his army to halt such attacks for 30 days but Kyiv has accused Moscow of continuing them.

The former governor of Russia’s Kursk region and his ex-deputy have been arrested on suspicion of embezzling over $12m of funds earmarked for border defences against Ukraine, authorities said on Wednesday. Alexei Smirnov, 51, and Alexei Dedov, 48, were in charge when Ukrainian troops stormed across the border in August 2024, successfully mounting the biggest ground assault on Russian territory since the second world war. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, in December replaced Smirnov with Alexander Khinshtein.

France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, will on Thursday meet Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, and Donald Trump’s Russia envoy, Steve Witkoff, the Élysée Palace has said. The US state department said they would discuss ending the war in Ukraine.

Latvian lawmakers voted on Wednesday to quit a treaty banning anti-personnel mines so the Baltic country can reinforce its security against Russia. “Withdrawal from the Ottawa convention will give our armed forces room for manoeuvre in the event of a military threat to use all possible means to defend our citizens,” said Inara Murniece, chair of parliament’s foreign affairs committee. The decision, a direct consequence of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, will come into effect six months after Latvia formally notifies the UN.

Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and Finland have also announced plans to renounce the landmine treaty. The International Committee of the Red Cross has called it “a dangerous setback for the protection of civilians in armed conflict”. Lithuania last month quit another treaty banning cluster bombs, also citing the threat posed by Russia, alarming human rights groups.

US officials to meet European leaders in Paris to discuss Ukraine war

Trump envoys to meet Macron as well as British and German politicians to discuss concerns about Russia

Two of Donald Trump’s top national security aides will hold talks in Paris on Thursday with European politicians and security advisers, as the US and Europe search for common ground on ending the Ukraine war and averting an Iran conflict.

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, are expected to hear concerns about Russia amid so-far fruitless US attempts to arrange a ceasefire three years after Russia invaded its neighbour.

Putin’s play for an Indonesian airbase was always likely to fail – but Russia has wider ambitions
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 05:13:50 GMT

Russia remains a key arms supplier in South-east Asia, and Trump’s unstable leadership is providing more opportunities to make inroads

A defence industry report claiming that Russia requested a permanent base for its warplanes in Indonesia’s remote Papua region, right on Australia’s northern doorstep, sent Canberra into a tailspin. But in Indonesia, it was the frenzy whipped up in Australia’s tight election campaign that came as the real surprise.

Foreign policy and defence experts are highly sceptical about the prospect that Jakarta would ever acquiesce to such a Russian request, and besides, it is hardly new. Moscow has sought permanent basing rights for its planes at Indonesia’s Biak airfield in Papua for almost half a century – and not once has it won approval.

Ex-UK defence minister ‘disgusted’ by Trump’s attitude to Putin and Russia

Pronouncing himself “disgusted” by Donald Trump’s favorable attitude to Russia and Vladimir Putin, the former UK defence minister Grant Shapps said the US president calling a Russian missile strike that killed dozens in Ukraine last weekend a “mistake” was an example of “weasel language we used to hear … from the IRA” terrorist group.

“All anybody needs Putin to do is get the hell out of a democratic neighboring country,” Shapps told the One Decision podcast, regarding attempts to end the war in Ukraine that has raged since Russia invaded in February 2022.

On a warm spring day relatives gathered to say goodbye to Viktor Boiko and his wife, Olha. Their open coffins were laid out next to one other. Viktor wore his best suit. Olha was in a flowery blouse, with carnations heaped around her slippered feet. A priest sang prayers. Gravediggers lowered the couple into the ground, and shovelled earth on top. It landed with a percussive thud.

“Give me a weapon. Any weapon. I want to kill those butchers in Moscow,” said Viktor’s brother-in-law Anatolii Prykhodko, as his wife stood sobbing next to him. “They have murdered so many people.

Two of China’s largest fast fashion retailers, Temu and Shein, have warned US customers that they will face price hikes from next week, as Donald Trump’s hefty tariffs on Chinese imports come into force.

Both companies will be hit by new import levies, which will mean taxes of up to 145% being applied to Chinese goods. They will also suffer from Trump’s cancellation of so-called “de minimus” exemption, under which shipments worth less than $800 (£600) could be imported duty-free.

Can we stop pretending a trade deal with Trump will be a gamechanger for the UK. It won’t | Martin Kettle
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 05:00:30 GMT

I’m not saying Britain should refuse every sort of free trade agreement with the US, but there may be options that better suit Labour’s purpose

It’s a deal. The words sound good. Most human beings are primed to think of a deal as desirable in itself. It isn’t hard to see why. Agreement is generally better than disagreement. In most aspects of life, shaking hands under shared rules makes sense. So it takes a bit of effort to think more objectively. But it is important to do that now, especially in the case of the proposed UK trade deal with the United States.

Even before Donald Trump became president again, and long before the US started its current tariff wars, there were already plenty of reasons for caution about what a free trade deal with the US might look like. In the wake of Brexit, these concerns centred on whether a deal could be struck – and sold at home – on bilateral trade issues such as pharmaceuticals, food products and digital regulation, on all of which very different standards and assumptions have long applied on the two sides of the Atlantic.

Trump press secretary attacks Maryland senator for traveling to El Salvador – as it happened
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 01:37:04 GMT

This blog has now closed. You can read our latest story here

US attorney general Pam Bondi on Wednesday unveiled legal action against Maine, in an escalation of Donald Trump’s conflict with the state for refusing to ban transgender athletes from participating in women’s and girls’ sports.

Reuters reports that the lawsuit comes five days after the administration tried to cut off all of Maine’s federal funding for public schools and its school lunch program over the issue, following a 21 February meeting of Trump and a group of US governors where he clashed with Maine’s Democratic governor, Janet Mills.

Nothing in Title IX or its implementing regulations prohibits schools from allowing transgender girls and women to participate on girls’ and women’s sports teams. Your letters to date do not cite a single case that so holds.

It was a compelling meeting. And toward the end, we actually came up with – I’m going to say ‘finally,’ but I don’t mean it in the way that we were waiting, I mean it in the way that it took a while for us to get to this place – what Putin’s request is to get, to have a permanent peace here.

The Guardian view on UK-China relations: a dilemma made sharper by Brexit | Editorial
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 17:30:16 GMT

The Eurosceptic model of a globalised Britain detached from its local continent has aged very badly in the era of Trump’s trade wars

Even when the transatlantic alliance was more functional than it is now, there was not a united view of China. There has always been common wariness of Beijing as a commercial rival and potential security threat. But for hawks in Washington the idea of an alternative superpower closing in on economic and technological parity feels existential. More dovish Europeans have been readier to leaven caution with engagement.

Britain has veered between the two poles. In 2015, David Cameron promised a “golden era” of open trade with China. In 2020, under pressure from the US, Boris Johnson banned Huawei, a Chinese telecoms company, from UK 5G infrastructure.

Trump-style book censorship is spreading – just ask British librarians | Alison Hicks
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 14:28:53 GMT

UK schools are coming under pressure to remove titles from their shelves. It’s not coming from the place you might think

For all its talk of free speech, the Trump administration seems remarkably comfortable with censorship. Earlier this year, children studying at Pentagon schools (serving US military families) were prevented from accessing libraries for a week while officials reviewed their shelves for titles that might be “related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics”. Trump’s presidency has injected new energy into the book-banning movement that has been simmering for years on the US right. You might think that censoring school libraries would be totally unimaginable in Britain. You’d be wrong.

I worked as a librarian for 10 years, and now I teach on the library and information studies master’s programme at UCL. After the pandemic, I began noticing signs of an eerily similar trend. It erupted in the spring of 2022, when a Catholic school in Croydon invited Simon James Green, a prominent gay children’s author, to give a talk. The US anti-LGBT website Catholic Truth ran a campaign encouraging readers to contact the school and protest against the event (one reader said, somewhat implausibly, that Green’s visit to the school was “100% as much of an issue as the ongoing war in Ukraine”). The commission responsible for the school released a statement suggesting the event should be cancelled, teachers went on strike, and the story reached the national press.

Spreitzer said:

The very public actions that are being taken by ICE and the Department of Homeland Security around some of these students, where they are removing these students from their homes or from their streets, that’s not usually done unless there is a security issue when a student visa is revoked.

Doge tried to embed staffers in criminal justice non-profit, says group
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 22:41:46 GMT

Vera, an independent organization, says Musk’s team demanded meeting as administration expands targets

Staff at Elon Musk’s so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) demanded to meet with an independent non-profit to discuss embedding a team within their organization, according to the non-profit, stating that refusal to take the meeting would mean a violation of Donald Trump’s executive order empowering Doge.

Doge staff member Nate Cavanaugh emailed the Vera Institute of Justice, a criminal justice reform non-profit that is independent from the government, on 11 April to demand the meeting, according to a copy of the email. Vera’s staff was confused by the request, as its government funding had been canceled a week prior, but agreed to a call which they said took place on Tuesday.

Maryland’s Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen says the government of El Salvador has denied his request to visit Kilmar Ábrego García, his constituent who was wrongly deported to the Central American country last month.

Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday with the intention of meeting Ábrego García at the Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot), where US authorities have said that the Maryland resident is being held along with others deported at Donald Trump’s orders.

The sinister psychology at the heart of populism | Letters
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 16:32:34 GMT

Readers respond to George Monbiot’s piece on how economic inequality fosters resentment, exclusion and nostalgia

George Monbiot (Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature, 13 April) makes some very important points about the psychology of those who follow demagogues and rightwing populist leaders. But this knowledge is not new. After the horrors of the rise of the Nazis and the persecution by them of Jews and other minority groups before and during the second world war, psychologists, many of them Jewish, began to systematically study the origins of such hatred. One was Henri Tajfel, a Jew born in Poland whose family were murdered by the Nazis.

Tajfel was primarily interested in group identity, and popularised the terms in-group and out-group. Most importantly for understanding our times, Tajfel’s work helped to show that not only do we work for, and experience reward through, the in-group’s success (familiar to supporters of any football club), but, more sinisterly, we will work for, and experience reward through, the detriment of the out-group, even if that also means the in-group suffers, so long as it is to a lesser extent.

Truss social: the latest chapter from a woman who really knows what the people want | Zoe Williams
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 15:39:48 GMT

She’s threatening to launch an ‘uncensored and uncancellable’ online platform – like we don’t have enough of those already

Liz Truss has unveiled her new chapter, and if you can think of a better place for the madcap-economist former prime minister to do so than a cryptocurrency conference in Bedford, it would at the very least have to involve pirates or chimpanzees.

The “deep state”, “the elite” and the mainstream media cut short her time in office, so from here she sees no option but to launch her own social media platform. It’s a puzzler, because if she wants to praise Donald Trump and Elon Musk, peddle dark conspiracy theories and give the fullest possible account of her grandiose self-belief, she’d be in great company on X. But that wouldn’t be thinking big enough – she wants to create an entirely new network, “uncensored and uncancellable”, which will grow a grassroots movement of Trussites.

Trump effect leaves Canada’s Conservatives facing catastrophic loss

Pierre Poilievre had hoped to be the next PM, but a sharp change in mood amid Trump tariffs has the party in turmoil

When the Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, finally emerged from a holding room, excited shouts erupted in a tsunami-like wave throughout the banquet hall. Party faithful – some in the ill-fitting free T-shirts handed out by staffers – craned their necks for a glimpse of the man they hoped will be the next Canadian prime minister.

Hair perfectly parted and clad in his standard-issue crisp blue suit, Poilievre embraced the first supporter, a gesture that appeared to leave her overjoyed. Another supporter, wearing a red “Save Canada” shirt, was crestfallen when Poilievre seemed to miss him, before the leader turned and gripped the man’s hand in a firm shake.

Trump’s deportation ‘mistake’: the man trapped in a prison in El Salvador

Kilmar Ábrego García was deported, detained and flown to a notorious prison – before officials admitted they had made an error. Why is he still there? Maanvi Singh reports

Kilmar Ábrego García was 16 when he came to the US, after his family were targeted by criminal gangs in his home of El Salvador. He joined his brother in Maryland and started a new life.

In 2019, he was arrested by immigration officials and accused of being a gang member, but his lawyers argued there was no evidence for this, pointed out he had no criminal convictions and insisted he should not be sent back to a country where he was himself at risk from criminal gangs. A judge agreed and gave him protected status so he could not be deported.

US tariffs on Chinese goods now total 145%, while most other countries, including the UK, have maintained a 10% tariff on goods following Donald Trump’s announcements on Wednesday pausing “reciprocal” tariffs for 90 days.

Venice’s €5 tourist fee returns – and will double for last-minute day-trippers
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 04:00:30 GMT

City authorities still hope the scheme, which made an unexpected €2.4m last year, will help tackle overtourism

Venice’s entrance fee will resume from Friday, with the main novelty this year being that last-minute day-trippers will pay double.

Last year, as part of an experiment aimed at dissuading day visitors during busy periods, Venice became the first major tourist city in the world to charge people to enter.

Just Act Normal review – to watch this wonderful show is to see stars being born
Wed, 16 Apr 2025 20:35:20 GMT

Heartbreaking, hugely funny, endlessly subtle: this tale of three youngsters trying to avoid being taken into care after their mother’s disappearance is incredible TV. And its youthful cast are exceptional

Ten-year-old Tanika (Kaydrah Walker-Wilkie) is encouraging her depressed older brother Tionne (Akins Subair) to get out of bed after their mother’s disappearance, lest social services notice something is wrong with the family and put them into care. “I’ll get adopted, because I’m young and pretty,” she says gently. “They’ll keep you in a home because you look like you’ve got problems.” Baby sisters – always keeping it real.

The BBC’s new six-part comedy drama Just Act Normal is the creation of Janice Okoh, based on her 2011 play Three Birds. With their mother gone, the children are trying to fly under the radar of the authorities until the oldest, Tiana (Chenée Taylor), turns 18 and can officially look after them all. So far, the optimism and energy of youth has seen them – or at least the girls – through, and they are keeping Tionne braced between them. While Tanika gives pep talks, Tiana and her best friend, Shanice (Kelise Gordon-Harrison), are out stealing him the live chicken he apparently needs for an experiment.

A walk with Romans and ghosts on the Great North Road
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 06:00:32 GMT

Tracing part of an ancient highway in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire – now the A1 – proves rich in stories going back 2,000 years

After a while it is clear that someone, or something, is following us. A figure, some distance back. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t appear to draw any closer, or get further away. It seems to remain, matching our pace, just at the edge of vision – at the edge of the dusk now descending over the grand Lincolnshire parkland surrounding Burghley House. When we stop, the figure vanishes. When we set off again, it returns. A shrouded shape; a shadow stalking our steps.

Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise. The old Roman highway we’ve been intermittently tracing from Water Newton to Stamford is a nine-mile track layered with history. Now overgrown and concealed, it was once a bustling leg of a great north-south thoroughfare that has run, in some form or another, like a backbone through the body of Britain for at least 2,000 years. A unique assemblage of ancient trackway, Roman road, medieval path, pilgrim route, coach road and motorway. Today, hereabouts, its modern incarnation – the A1 – loops west, leaving, as it does in many places, forgotten, discontinued ghost highways to their own devices.

America used to fire the world’s imagination – but now the cultural conversation is being silenced | Van Badham
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 05:56:37 GMT

Not only are TV-watching, book-reading, show-going, music-listening travellers declining to visit the US, we have started to cease to imagine it

This week, fresh data revealed the United States has seen its biggest drop in Australian tourists since Covid. It’s hardly surprising. Innocent people are being snatched by authorities from American streets. Citizens of foreign countries are being stopped, shackled and detained. The EU is now sending its emissaries with burner phones, lest personal social media posts critical of President Trump be discovered by border agents and … who knows what happens next? Forcible relocation to a Salvadorian supermax prison, seemingly without chance of release, is suddenly not out of the question.

It all seems like something from Hollywood dystopia; the V series, maybe. Or Escape from New York. It’s pretty much the plot line of the first season of Andor – which I strongly recommend that everyone watch before the Trump regime clocks what that show is advising and it vanishes faster than a copy of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl from an American high school library.

Venice’s entrance fee will resume from Friday, with the main novelty this year being that last-minute day-trippers will pay double.

Trump press secretary attacks Maryland senator for traveling to El Salvador – as it happened
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 01:37:04 GMT

This blog has now closed. You can read our latest story here

US attorney general Pam Bondi on Wednesday unveiled legal action against Maine, in an escalation of Donald Trump’s conflict with the state for refusing to ban transgender athletes from participating in women’s and girls’ sports.

Reuters reports that the lawsuit comes five days after the administration tried to cut off all of Maine’s federal funding for public schools and its school lunch program over the issue, following a 21 February meeting of Trump and a group of US governors where he clashed with Maine’s Democratic governor, Janet Mills.

Nothing in Title IX or its implementing regulations prohibits schools from allowing transgender girls and women to participate on girls’ and women’s sports teams. Your letters to date do not cite a single case that so holds.

It was a compelling meeting. And toward the end, we actually came up with – I’m going to say ‘finally,’ but I don’t mean it in the way that we were waiting, I mean it in the way that it took a while for us to get to this place – what Putin’s request is to get, to have a permanent peace here.

This week: top tips for buying preloved; the best secateurs, tested; and genuinely great-smelling diffusers

While waiting for a show during London fashion week in February, I and a few fashion writers, stylists and editors were admiring each other’s outfits. Surprise, surprise, we discovered that the pieces we loved most were preowned (and largely from charity shops, I might add).

It’s no secret that industry insiders love secondhand fashion: Kate Moss is known for her love of vintage; British Vogue recently hosted a vintage sale in collaboration with eBay; celebrities such as Zendaya, Kendall Jenner and Miley Cyrus are turning to archive looks for their red carpet appearances; even Selfridges now offers Reselfridges, a range of preloved designer bags and accessories.

Reimagining Democracy
2025-04-11T00:35:00Z

Imagine that all of us—all of society—have landed on some alien planet and need to form a government: clean slate. We do not have any legacy systems from the United States or any other country. We do not have any special or unique interests to perturb our thinking. How would we govern ourselves? It is unlikely that we would use the systems we have today.
