One of my favourite ways of celebrating whatever vegetable is in season is by turning it into pakoras. Cooking them quickly allows the vegetable to sing, and a simple pakora batter is light enough to let spring onions and spinach do just that. With just enough gently spiced chickpea flour to bind the chopped veg

As an industry that makes movies and TV shows—in trade parlance: services, not products—Hollywood may have thought it was safe from President Donald Trump’s tariffs. While the stock market took major dips over the past month, streaming players like Netflix seemed like a good bet. On Sunday, that changed. Trump took to Truth Social to

Downing Street has been accused of being “completely tone deaf” to the damage wreaked by winter fuel cuts as new polling suggested two-thirds of voters would back a rethink on the policy.

Except, rather than

It’s lunchtime in Manchester, and neighbours spanning three generations in Chorlton are celebrating VE Day with music, union jack hats and England’s favourite delicacy: the sausage roll.

Researchers unveiled a cluster of vulnerabilities in Apple’s wireless media streaming platform AirPlay this week that leave millions of third-party devices like speakers and TVs vulnerable to takeover if an attacker is on the same Wi-Fi network as the victim gadget.
