‘I thought the grownups were back in charge!’: John Crace on how Labour shattered his expectations After 14 years of Tory rule, the Guardian’s parliamentary sketch writer thought he had seen it all.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

‘We faced hunger before, but never like this’: skeletal children fill hospital wards as starvation grips Gaza For months Israel kept food shipments to Gaza far below starvation rations. Now the death toll is rising rapidly * Starvation in Gaza is destroying communities – and will leave generational scars Mohammed’s skeletal arms stick out of a romper with a grinning emoji-face and the slogan “smiley boy”, which in a Gaza hospital reads as a cruel joke. He spends much of the day crying from hunger, or gnawing at his own emaciated fingers. At seven months old, he weighs barely 4kg (9lbs) and this is the second time he has been admitted for treatment. His face is gaunt, his limbs little more than bones covered in baggy skin and his ribs protrude painfully from his chest. Continue reading...

The Prodigy praised for ‘electrifying’ and ‘unhinged’ Glastonbury closing performance ‘You can only begin to image the raw energy they bring’ wrote fans

Catching up on Glastonbury. The Prodigy blowing everyone else out of the water. Genuinely considering getting a ticket for the Coop gig next year. I'm probably too old but then Maxim is 9 years older than me so no excuse really.

The Ballad of Wallis Island review – funny, melancholy yarn of a folk duo reunited by oddball superfan Tim Key bring his trademark pleasant awkwardness to the island-owner who pays Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan to come and play for him

Sad and beautiful film that's also made me immediately want to go to Wales. Tim Key magic.

Wow. I cannot recommend this show enough. Hilarious, incredible music, stunning production. Wherever you think the second half is going you'll be gobsmacked. Tambo and Bones on at HOME Manchester until Saturday.
