A lost work by Virginia Woolf will be published for the first time The author’s early fiction, written in tribute to her friend Mary Violet Dickinson, shows her in a startling new light.

Long before “A Room of One’s Own,” Virginia Woolf wrote a trio of fairy tales about a woman named Violet.

This early experimental fiction, rediscovered in 2018, is now being published for the first time, showing Woolf in a startling new light.

‘Don’t pay any attention to what Trump says about medicine’, Wes Streeting tells Britons – UK politics live Medical experts concerned alarms after US president warned pregnant women to avoid taking Tylenol in move contradicted by research Wes Streeting, the health secretary, has urged pregnant women to ignore Donald Trump’s claims about a link between taking paracetamol and autism. Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, Streeting said: I trust doctors over President Trump, frankly, on this. I’ve just got to be really clear about this: there is no evidence to link the use of paracetamol by pregnant women to autism in their children. None. In fact, a major study was done back in 2024 in Sweden, involving 2.4 million children, and it did not uphold those claims. Between January and April 2020, Labour held a leadership contest. Evidence from that period suggests that the prime minister accepted potentially thousands of pounds’ worth of advice and polling via the members’ association Labour Together. A review of his register of members’ interests for that time reveals no record of these donations. The parliamentary rules are clear that “support in kind” from Labour Together should have been declared, but it was not. In 2021, the Electoral Commission fined Labour Together for failing to report donations covering the period 2017 to 2020. New evidence has since come to light which raises questions as to whether this failure was deliberate, in an attempt to mislead the Electoral Commission. At the time, the prime minister’s now Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney, was a director at Labour Together and responsible for legal compliance. Neither Keir, nor his leadership campaign accepted monetary or in kind donations from Labour Together during the leadership election. Continue reading...
