Dear readers Law firms advised to stop addressing each other as ‘Dear Sirs’

Style it out, baby

'Perhaps “Dear Sirs, Mesdames and Others”, just to be safe?

Certainly not, says the Law Society: we should avoid gender-specific terms completely. And why put men first?'

But is it true? (Let’s hear it for reality) Tom Holland’s book Dominion is much touted these days by those proclaiming a “Christian revival”.

'Jordan Peterson, an even more famous soothsayer of the so-called Christian revival, not only ignores facts, he openly disdains them. Drunk on symbolism, he seems sincerely not to care whether something is factually true or not'

Where do I begin with... The Lemonheads As the first Lemonheads' album of original material in nearly two decades hits the world, Simon Harrison guides us through the best – and worst – records of one of indie rock's most troubled bands

'It was OK to be sensitive, pleasant and shambolic. In our ingenuous and artless marginal lives, validation was just another pleasurable exotic encounter'

Nick Cave says he is "neither on the left nor on the right" and "finding both sides indefensible and unrecognisable" Nick Cave has shared insight on his political outlook, and said that he is "neither on the left nor on the right” as he finds both sides “unrecognisable”.

'I don’t particularly care where my art comes from,” he added. “It doesn’t bother me if someone wears a For Britain badge [Morrissey] or is an anti-semite or whatever and they’re making extraordinary music'
