Women, being married needn’t make you unhappy – if you choose the right man | Hadley Freeman
A happiness expert says wives are more miserable than other women. Is it because they find they’ve married another child? Tchuh, women. Never bloody happy, are they? Except, it turns out, they are, just not in the way they were told to be, and thought they should be. According to a new book by Paul Dolan , a professor of behavioural science at the London School of Economics, marriage and children do not – despite several millennia of literature claiming otherwise – give women the sought after happy ending. In fact, they put them at “higher risk of physical and mental conditions than their single counterparts”. (Dolan does not specify whether those mental conditions include insanity from watching the same Peppa Pig episode 1,174 times.) Now, I’m going to take some things for granted, the first of which is that Dolan is referring to heterosexual married couples, as is implied by how he has discussed his findings so far. The second is that the people Dolan interviewed are answering hones...
Forget Boris Johnson. The Tory leader could come from the centre | Martin Kettle
He may be the frontrunner, but the former foreign secretary will surely lose his allure. Look out for the unexpected Something important and wholly without precedent is happening in plain sight in British politics – but not enough attention is being paid to it. The something is that never before has a new British prime minister been chosen by the grassroots members of the ruling political party. Such a thing might have happened in 2007, when Tony Blair resigned, but Gordon Brown was chosen unopposed. It nearly happened in 2016, after David Cameron stepped down, but in the end the other candidates stood aside in favour of Theresa May . Now it’s the third time it could happen, and this one is almost certain to be different. There are already 11 candidates in the field to succeed May. Five more are said to be weighing whether to join. Many will fall at the first and subsequent hurdles in June, when Tory MPs begin a series of elimination votes in Westminster. But it would be a surprise i...

The Guardian view on German responses to antisemitism: frankness and honesty | Editorial
The rise of anti-Jewish actions in Germany is profoundly worrying, but Angela Merkel’s fightback sets an example of moral seriousness and rigour The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, has spoken openly about the spectre of antisemitism in Germany. She told CNN that “We have always had a certain amount of antisemites among us ... Unfortunately there is to this day not a single synagogue, not a single day care centre for Jewish children, not a single school for Jewish children that does not need to be guarded by German policemen.” Her remarks came a week after the country’s ombudsman for antisemitism, Felix Klein, suggested that observant Jews would be wise not to wear kippahs (skullcaps) in public. Taken together, these developments might suggest that Germany is sliding back into its dreadful past. In fact, they are signs of a determination that this must not happen. The crime figures do not suggest there is a crisis under way – though crime statistics do not measure fear. The Jews of...
The Guardian view on defending democracy: honesty over simplicity | Editorial
Beware the MP – and Tory leadership contender – who claims there are easy ways out of Britain’s Brexit crisis In the aftermath of Sunday’s European election results, and as the ranks of Tory leadership contenders swell, every MP should be in a state of alarm about the condition of British democracy. The problem is not that people are denied a voice – millions of opinions have been freely expressed in polling booths – but that parliament looks incapable of satisfying voters’ conflicting demands. Brexit, as it was sold to the country in 2016, cannot be delivered. The view asserted by Nigel Farage and much of the Conservative party that pro-Europeans are refusing to deliver it is false. It is true that parliament prevented the UK from leaving the EU without a deal, but that outcome would have betrayed promises made by the leave campaign three years ago. The offer of that campaign was an easy glide into a brighter future where Britain would have “taken back control”. But the reality of u...
Tory leadership rivals are literally running for office | Adrian Chiles
Raab is still on the starting line, Gove is doing OK – but when it comes to jogging for the cameras, Hunt is showing everyone a clean pair of heels Prospective Conservative party leaders are out for early morning runs. It feels like they’re all at it. What are they trying to prove exactly? Well, I suppose that’s obvious: physical and, by association, metaphorical fitness for office. I decided to apply some rigorous analysis to these jogging photo ops. You can do this too. All you need is a computer, an internet connection and the knowhow to search “[candidate’s name] running. Images”. Herewith are my conclusions: zero points for Dominic Raab. Not one running shot could I find on Google. And he looks as fit as a butcher’s dog, doesn’t he? There’s also that allegation about him being a karate expert , but I couldn’t see a decent shot of him in his martial arts pyjamas either. He must be keeping his powder dry for a big athletic photo op on the morning of the first vote. James Cleverly ...
Chelsea win Europa League after Eden Hazard inspires thrashing of Arsenal
At the end, even Maurizio Sarri’s superstitions went out of the window. The Italian normally refuses to step on to the playing surface, though he could not contain himself at the final whistle.

Old failings rear up in Baku to leave Arsenal’s ambitions shipwrecked | Amy Lawrence
Unai Emery’s side capitulated against Chelsea and, with such an important summer ahead, the damage may be severe There was something almost pitiful about Unai Emery gesturing enthusiastically from his technical area, urging his team forwards, in the 90th minute at 4-1 down. He suddenly looked like a footballing King Canute, trying to stem a tide that washed all over Arsenal and left their present and future ambitions shipwrecked. The scale of the capitulation left Arsenal in shock. At the end of it all, the shattering despair felled their players. They had been banking on this, hoping that the Europa League final would bring a happy ending to this season and positivity for the next with a return to the Champions League.

England hope home World Cup can break down barriers on and off pitch
Eoin Morgan’s side start as favourites to lift their first title but tournament offers once-in-a-generation to revive interest The last time England hosted the Cricket World Cup 20 years ago they suffered the embarrassment of being knocked out before the official tournament song had even been released. Their record has scarcely improved since. Yet when Eoin Morgan’s side open the 2019 tournament against South Africa on Thursday they will be in the unfamiliar role of favourites. England’s captain also has his eyes on another prize: a once-in-a-generation chance to revive interest in cricket, which has slipped since it went behind Sky’s paywall after England’s Ashes victory in 2005. As Morgan said yesterday: “The World Cup raises the profile of the game and is a platform for every young kid in this country to have a hero or inspiration to pick up a ball or a bat. If we were to go on and win it, I couldn’t imagine what it would do.” Continue reading... from The Guardian https://www.t...

Exclusive: move likely to anger hardliners who fear Bercow wants to stop no-deal Brexit John Bercow has said he plans to stay in his post as Speaker of the House of Commons despite previous expectations he was about to leave, risking the fury of hardline Eurosceptics who believe he wants to thwart a no-deal Brexit.
