New research shows that a class gap on the left threatens any winning coalition – but there are ways to address it Debates on the left are typically framed as a division between moderates and progressives, with the two sides wrestling over how best to form a governing coalition. Yet, in many ways, this divide obscures a much bigger fault line: the class divide. The fact is, many of the Democratic party’s ideological factions consist almost exclusively of college-educated professionals. As a resu

On Saturday, a sold-out crowd cheered on as 15 contestants battled it out to claim the championship spurtle – with a pinch of Celtic salt the deciding factor Oatmeal sloshes out of pots and into stovetop flames as contestants frantically fumble with their finishing touches. The timer is ticking down but spectators clap and cheer, their whoops ringing through the rafters of Pearl Beach memorial community hall before a voice cuts through the chaos: “please make way for the porridge carriers”. The

Fifa backs ‘democratically-elected’ president Thinly-veiled attack aimed on Uefa as crisis roars on Fifa last night issued a thinly-veiled attack on Uefa and other leading figures in European football in a statement which alleged there is a “concerted and ongoing effort by some to undermine Fifa and its president,” as football’s civil war escalated further. Uefa has made it clear they regard Infantino’s continued leadership of world football as untenable following his role in the World Cup sell-

The former Watford player talks about his off-field pursuits, lessons from the World Cup and unfinished business When Maduka Okoye visited Paris fashion week for the Jean Paul Gaultier show, taking his seat in the front row alongside rapper Cardi B, the online reaction was swift.

London City Lionesses’ headline signing talks expectations, the lure of playing in England and the prospect of being kicked by her former teammates Momentarily, Alexia Putellas appears somewhat nervous, stepping inside the cramped conference room in a Kent hotel to see 23 reporters squeezed inside, all eager to hear from the Women’s Super League’s newest global superstar , but she quickly composes herself. Within minutes, she is into her stride, asking for tips about roast dinners and drawing la

⚽ West Ham come from behind to see off Pompey ⚽ Kyle Walker seals shootout win for Burnley ⚽ Millwall keeper Lukas Jensen saves all four QPR spot-kicks QPR 0-0 Millwall. There’s not a lot going on at Loftus Road in today’s only 2pm kick-off. Rangers have had most of the ball, Millwall have just had their first (off-target) shot at goal, and that’s it.

This may be more to do with ageing than a lack of love. Talk about it – hopefully you can work out a new repertoire together My husband and I have been together for six years. He is 60, 20 years older than me . We had a baby last year and went through a really difficult time in our relationship. Things are better after some couples therapy, but we are both still unhappy with our sex life. I take a while to orgasm, and he gets very impatient and essentially just gives up (he always orgasms first,

Crystal Palace Bowl, London Nas performs his gritty but intricate 90s classics, sharing the bill on the first London edition of the Roots Picnic festival with Questlove and co’s exuberant funk Looking out over the audience at the Crystal Palace Bowl, Nas feels moved to reminisce about his first visit to London. It was in 1994, around the time he released his landmark debut album Illmatic ; he remembers performing on pirate radio stations and “eating good Jamaican food”. It seems unlikely that he

Australia got ambushed early and were a hot mess at times. But Kiss showed patience and nous as he found a way to win When scaling a mountain, “don’t look at the peak”, advised the Japanese film-maker Akira Kurosawa. “Keep your eyes on the ground, put one foot in front of the other and climb patiently.” The Wallabies have to get from a current base camp of No 8 in the rankings to win next year’s World Cup. But they put one foot toward that peak on Saturday night by beating Japan . In his first T

Joe Biden’s prostate cancer is reportedly ‘debilitating’, even as ex-president continues to speak out on public issues Former US president Joe Biden ’s prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body and is causing him pain, even as he continues to speak out on public issues, his son Hunter said in an interview.

Weather system tied to warming sea surface expected to intensify in fall and winter, persisting until early spring 2027 El Niño , a recurring climate phenomenon marked by above-average sea surface temperatures, when changes in wind patterns allow warmer water to spread across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, could spell a wet winter for portions of the western and south-eastern US, climate models show. Coastal areas may be at elevated risk of flooding, experts warn. Climate scientists

Jesuit high school deal resolves lawsuit stemming from allegations of molestation by school janitor decades prior For the second time in as many months, a prominent Catholic high school in New Orleans recently agreed to pay an out-of-court settlement to resolve a lawsuit claiming child molestation decades earlier by a janitor at the institution. Both the plaintiff and Jesuit high school struck the agreement ahead of a late September trial date in the city’s civil district courthouse, according t

One official said the blaze was ‘like a bomb going off’ as fast-moving fire displaces people in western Canada with another 9,700 told to prepare to flee Nearly 22,000 people were under evacuation orders, and another 9,700 have been warned they should be prepared to flee their homes after a fast-moving wildfire prompted authorities in British Columbia to declare a state of emergency. The premier, David Eby, announced the emergency as more than 100 wildfires burned across the province, nearly hal

Tehran urges US to ‘correct its behaviour’ as UAE says one of its ships targeted by Iranian missile Iran has issued tough new demands for reopening the strait of Hormuz, while the United Arab Emirates said one of its ships was targeted by an Iranian missile, as a deal to open the strategic waterway remained out of reach on Saturday. Iran’s politburo-like body known as the supreme national security council said the strait of Hormuz will not open until the United States “corrects its behaviour”, a

Architect’s vision for redevelopment of heart of EU quarter unrealised amid political wrangling and rising costs The redevelopment plan for Schuman Square at the heart of the EU quarter in Brussels was very ambitious. From a traffic-clogged, nondescript roundabout, it would become “an urban agora”, a greener, calmer meeting place, nothing less, said a former head of the Brussels government, than “a symbol that beats as the heart … of the European project”. It did not turn out that way. The resul

US-Iran war has stranded up to 20,000 seafarers, mostly Indian and Filipino crews, with none knowing when the nightmare will end The panicked crew of a cargo ship broadcast a distress signal late on Monday night from their location in the strait of Hormuz . About 20 nautical miles north of the coast of Oman, the Minoan Pioneer bulk carrier was hit by an unknown projectile, causing a blackout in the engine room and a fire in the accommodation area. The crew scrambled to put out the blaze and call

Teenage girl treated in hospital after Friday’s school shooting has died, police say The death toll from a school shooting in Thailand rose to nine on Saturday, after police said a 12-year-old girl caught up in Friday’s incident had died.

Israeli prime minister says he will not support 15-point plan hailed by Donald Trump Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a Gaza plan hailed by US president Donald Trump, vowing no military pullout of Gaza until Hamas is “genuinely” disarmed. The Israeli military “will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and our citizens,” Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting. Here are the other key updates from today:

The benefits of all three come down to a crucial piece of cellular kit Sleep. Exercise. Eat well. It’s the oldest recommendation in medicine, repeated so often it’s become a cliche. We know the advice, even if we don’t always follow it. But have you ever stopped to wonder why these three seemingly different habits have such remarkably similar effects on our brains and bodies? For generations we’ve treated them as separate prescriptions – sleep restores us, exercise strengthens us and food fuels

The hit TV show confirms that sports lore is rife with powerful hexes. But there’s really nothing mystical about the dread and self-doubt they can induce As the new season of Ted Lasso started, I was reminded of one of the show’s stranger storylines. When Dani “Football is life!” Rojas gets injured, his teammates blame the incident on a curse said to haunt the treatment room. Absurd? Perhaps. But sports curses aren’t just fictional plot devices. Football is fertile ground for stories of mysterio

In an unseasonable black bomber jacket, with heavy duty company beside him, David Sullivan took his seat. Against the advice of the stadium’s operators, unbowed by serious allegations placed against his name and the weight of public opinion, West Ham’s major shareholder, the former co-chair, sat with arms crossed, always conspicuous by his presence. By beating Portsmouth in relative comfort, West Ham, the club where Sullivan’s name is no longer above the door, had secured a heartening Carabao Cu

They quickly became close but as the year drew to a close, her departure loomed Find more stories from the moment I knew series In 2016 I was an Australian student on exchange in Dublin, plotting to fall in love at Trinity College before Normal People made it cool.

As a tween, Hull’s finest learned the rap from Waterfalls – now she blubs to prog. But which song from a British singer-songwriter is her guilty pleasure? The first song I fell in love with Caravan of Love by the Housemartins, when I was four or five. They’re also from Hull, but I think I mainly liked it because my granny and grandad had a caravan in their garden that I used as a wendy house. The first single I bought I remember buying Thriller by Michael Jackson from HMV in Hull, even though it

Two aviators will take off from Iceland to take pictures of the sun while flying at high altitude along solar eclipse’s path After lunch on Wednesday, two Nasa aviators will climb into a research plane and take off from Keflavik airport on a western tip of Iceland. They will climb north towards Greenland and then bank to head south on a gently curving course 40 miles (64km) off the Icelandic coast. Their mission can be described as chasing an eclipse, but in reality the eclipse is chasing them.

Agent found to be able to find and exploit vulnerabilities without human intervention, and to carry out cyber-attacks OpenAI will pause some work on an artificial intelligence model because of security concerns, the company stated on Friday, following a series of incidents in which AI agents have escaped containment. The company had evaluated the agent, Astra, and found “significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity”, which had moved to a “critical” threshold where it can find and

Using ‘spy glasses’ made by Facebook owner leads to floods of negative comments, say content creators It was hardly an offensive video. Amid the buzz of the Tour de France finale, Oliver Hooson filmed himself whipping up a delicious-looking flat white for a fellow cycling enthusiast. But after posting the footage on social media, the comments that soon rolled in were a real shock. “PERV,” read one. “Out here pushing creep glasses,” said another. His mistake? Documenting the moment with Meta’s “s

As the survivalist takes the cast of the Christian drama out in the wild to discuss faith, it’s surprisingly moving to find two very confident men so comfortable in their gentleness Judas Iscariot is so nice ! That’s a surprise. Just goes to show – you betray ONE messiah, the scroll-media gets to work and people forget everything else. I’m joshing, of course. I’m having a little religious joke because The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls has put me in such a good mood. The Judas Iscariot in q

Chuck Schumer and other senators took part in exercises in which legal experts laid out election disruption scenarios In a Washington DC conference room last month, some of the most senior Democrats in the US Senate gathered to plan for a prospect that only recently would have felt more akin to science fiction: they started to wargame democracy. Chuck Schumer, the US Senate minority leader, and senators including Alex Padilla, Adam Schiff, Mark Warner, Elissa Slotkin and Raphael Warnock were amo

Manuel Hernandez charged with 13 counts of reckless endangerment after boat overturned in New York harbor The captain of a boat that capsized in the New York harbor on Saturday evening has been charged following the deaths of a 27-year-old woman and five-month-old girl.

Gerson Turcios was 17 when he fled violence in Honduras to build a new life in the US. Six years later, he was mowing lawns in his home town of Rhinebeck when immigration officers took him. Within hours, friends, neighbours and local celebrities sprang into action. Could they stop his deportation? Gerson Turcios didn’t recognise the men standing next to a couple of dark SUVs outside his house one July afternoon last year. He figured they were lost and approached to see if he could help.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police face increasing scrutiny from critics who say they have lost touch and should be disbanded With their bright red tunics, dark blue breeches and beige Stetsons, the officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police offer a globally recognised symbol of Canada.

Kinahan built boxing empire while in exile in Dubai but now faces trial in Dublin charged with directing organised crime A decade after escaping assassination and fleeing into exile, Daniel Kinahan is on his way back to Ireland – but it is not the homecoming he wanted.

Turner prize nominee whose installations, sculptures and films returned repeatedly to the histories embedded within bodies In 1994, Christine Borland, who has died aged 61 of cancer, opened her first solo exhibition at Tramway in Glasgow. Its starting point was a mail-order catalogue through which human skeletons could be legally purchased for medical teaching. The discovery that a person’s remains could be bought anonymously through the post gave rise to one of the defining questions of her car

Researchers find microplastics can persist in compost, leaching into agricultural soils Plastic contamination should be a central concern in efforts to deal with food waste, which campaigners call one of the most overlooked problems of the climate crisis, researchers have said. This is despite the fact that, as the chef, author and activist Max La Manna puts it, food waste management is “one of the few climate problems where everyone wins”. Continue reading...

Bold colours are out and short, (seemingly) bare nails in, but some see trend as part of criticised ‘clean girl aesthetic’ Trends at Copenhagen fashion week are usually easy to spot. The so-called “fifth fashion week”, a laidback sibling to the other four main fashion cities, has previously popularised everything from romantic floaty dresses with practical trainers to giant hair scrunchies. But during its latest iteration that wrapped up on Friday, a much more subtle trend had emerged – naked na

A free-form fruit tart that’s easy to throw together with whatever seasonal fruit you have to hand The galette takes its name from the pebble it’s said to resemble – as Elizabeth David observes, it takes many forms, all of them round and flat. For me the word conjures the buckwheat pancakes of Brittany while French friends, in a quick straw poll, tend to think first of the frangipane-stuffed puff pastry galette de rois served at Epiphany, with one vote for a buttery Breton biscuit. Ask the Engli

Huge turnover between seasons means 11 clubs start 2026-27 led by people with under a year in their dugout Nine of the 20 Premier League clubs will begin the 2026-27 season with a different man in the dugout than the one who ended the last campaign. Opta recently revealed that the only other seasons which started with so many men making their managerial debut for top flight clubs were 1888-89 and 1946-47; the inaugural season of league football and the first following the second world war.

Never before has a big name rejected Istanbul for Trabzon, but former Liverpool striker was offered more than riches It began with a text sent during the World Cup. Ertugrul Dogan, the president of Trabzonspor, was watching Egypt when he picked up his phone and messaged his manager, Fatih Tekke. “Coach,” it read. “Do you want Mohamed Salah?” Tekke’s response was immediate enthusiasm, though Trabzonspor’s initial push for Salah went under the radar. For weeks, Besiktas looked most likely to land

The number of student suicides in the country has risen steeply in the past 10 years and many families blame education system mismanagement as a contributing factor When the Indian government announced the resignation of its education minister in late July after weeks of protest, there were widespread celebrations.
