The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 16:01
Harry Kane's 150th Premier League goal allowed Tottenham to visit the top of the table - for the first time in six years - though once again they left it late. Just as at Burnley a couple of weeks ago... Spurs found it hard to break through an organised defence but found a winner in the last 10 minutes. Kane's header here was even later in the game than Son Heung-min's at Turf Moor. Another couple of minutes and West Brom might have been able to claim a valuable and deserved point, but Spurs are gaining a reputation for persevering right to the end and a momentary lapse of defensive concentration cost the home side dear.

The former prosecutor and senator is the first woman to fill her upcoming White House role. What does her life so far tell us about how she will govern?

She was the first female district attorney of San Francisco, the first female attorney general of California, the first Indian American in the US Senate, the first Indian American candidate of a major party to run for vice-president. Soon she will become the first female vice-president. If Joe Biden only serves one term, as expected, there is a chance that in 2024 she could become the first black female president. The problem with phrases like "first black female president" is that they confine the California senator to the sort of boxes she has...England v Iceland Nations League game under threat due to travel restrictions

While no law requires losing candidates to acknowledge defeat, it's become an American tradition intrinsic to the orderly transition of power. Ken Hensley obituary
The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 15:47
Principal songwriter for the 1970s British heavy rock band Uriah Heep, who sold more than 40 million albums worldwide As a teenager Ken Hensley, who has died aged 75, was determined to become a rock... star. "Everything I did from the age of 16 onwards was focused entirely on that," he said. "I didn't recognise the sacrifices that would be involved, but I learned to live with them for the greater purpose of achieving my goal." Given this statement, which he made in 2016, Hensley might be thought to have been a shallow or arrogant individual. But the reality was that he was a good-natured intellectual whose prodigious musical talents helped to elevate the heavy rock band Uriah Heep, formed in 1970, to a level of great critical and commercial prominence, with global album sales in excess of 40...'Daughter of our village': Kamala Harris's Indian ancestral village celebrate her win as VP-elect

Ariana Grande: Positions review - saucy but safe
The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 15:00
(Republic)The pop titan's sex-fixated sixth album belies its introspective soft centre Whether she's singing about her exes or world-shaking tragedy, or both, Ariana Grande has always been an... open-book superstar. But few expected the balladeering Barbarella to release a sixth album so explicitly about bonking. Clearly she's been having a more eventful pandemic than most, though the warped MGM strings on Positions suggest that Grande, a lifelong Judy Garland fan, is blurring Pornhub and eroto-pop fantasy. With her pleasure-seeking hubris leaving little to the imagination (well-fitting vaginas! cunnilingus!), perhaps it's unsurprising that the production plays it fairly safe: Grande falls comfortably back on 90s-indebted, trap-speckled R&B, her voice breathy and gleaming.

The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 15:00
Would you harm yourself just to get at someone else? Spite is in us all, but there are unexpected benefits to it On a memorable episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, the curmudgeonly protagonist Larry... David is angered by the lukewarm lattes at his local café so he opens a "spite" café. It is an identical coffee shop and right next door, but everything is cheaper. He runs it at a personal financial loss, but is driven by the thought of putting his neighbour out of business. It is magnificently mean-spirited, petty, spiteful - and humorous. A murkier question is can spite be good? It seems counterintuitive to put an optimistic spin on behaviour that, by definition, involves hurting others while incurring harm to yourself. But a new book by Simon McCarthy-Jones explores its benefits. "Spite came...Progressives Had Some Success In 2020, But They're Getting Blamed For House Losses

Biden adviser: Presidential campaign 'was less consultant-driven than any' in 'modern history'

President-elect Joe Biden's path to victory wasn't an easy one -- at one point, early in the Democratic primaries, it even seemed like he could wind up an afterthought -- but he ultimately emerged as... the projected winner Saturday. And it appears that sticking to his own personal vision during his campaign, even if it seemed unpersuasive at times to other Democrats, is at least part of what pushed him over the line, The New York Times reports. "It was his campaign," Anita Dunn, one of his closest advisers, told the Times. "It was less consultant-driven than any presidential campaign in modern history." Sen.

The relief of Biden's win will be tempered by economic headwinds | Larry Elliott
The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 14:57
The president-elect is unlikely to buy the the argument that he should have been more radical In the end, for the Democrats it was a case of euphoria mingled with relief. Relief that they had not... managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Relief that the president's lies about electoral fraud failed to gain traction. Relief that Donald Trump's days in the White House are now numbered. But really, it should not even have been close. There may have been worse presidents than the one Joe Biden has defeated but off hand it is hard to name one.

The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 14:54
YouTube In character as an offensively aggressive comic, Heidecker weaves dodgy jokes with engaging meta twists, but ultimately a lack of variety spoils the party Parody hack standup is a genre all of... its own, with its own superstars (Neil Hamburger) rookies (Zach Zucker's alter ego Jack Tucker) and leftfield contenders, like Zoe Coombs Marr's macho meathead Dave. So when playing such a character, it's not enough just to be bad - you've got to be bad in creative and distinctive ways. I'm not sure Tim Heidecker pulls that off in the Tim & Eric man's first standup special, recorded in 2017 but only now appearing on YouTube. What he has in his favour is subtlety.

She knew we were studying the Soviet Union, and it was a subject she felt close to: her parents were Polish-Jewish refugees who'd found safety in the USSR after fleeing east in 1939. Her father was in the Red Army from 1939 to the end of the war. When I replied that I'd learned how many people Stalin had killed, estimated at 6 million or more, my mum bristled: "Is that really all they teach you?" At the time, my mum's prickly response surprised me. Stalin's death toll seemed too big to carry any caveats.

Joe Biden could bring Paris climate goals 'within striking distance'
The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 13:32
Biden's presidency could help reduce global heating by about 0.1C if plans fulfilled, say experts The election of Joe Biden as president of the US could reduce global heating by about 0.1C, bringing... the goals of the Paris agreement "within striking distance", if his plans are fulfilled, according to a detailed analysis. Biden's policy of a target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and plans for a $1.7tn investment in a green recovery from the Covid crisis, would reduce US emissions in the next 30 years by about 75 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide or its equivalents. Calculations by the Climate Action Tracker show that this reduction would be enough to avoid a temperature rise of about 0.1C by 2100.

The time to create a new future is now. And the cultural realm has a role to play | Hal Foster
The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 13:26
Change doesn't just happen through our elected officials. Cultural activism has an important role to play Some key events seem to occur twice, Marx warned us long ago, "the first time as tragedy, the... second time as farce". For American children of the radical 1960s like me, Reagan was the tragedy and Trump is the farce. (This takes nothing away from the double travesty that was Bush I and II.) The question now is: what comes after farce? Tragedy followed by farce is at least a narrative, however bathetic. But maybe even that bit of coherence was an illusion. Certainly nothing necessarily comes after farce; nothing is guaranteed. Today the old-time religion of "the moral arc of the universe bending toward justice" (King), believing in "a place called Hope" (Clinton), or striving "toward a...'Are you from Wales?'

Luxor review - Andrea Riseborough digs deep in PTSD drama on the Nile
The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 13:00
Riseborough plays a medic traumatised by her Syrian war work in this meandering tale Andrea Riseborough floats around the Egyptian city of Luxor in this contemplative drama from British... writer-director Zeina Durra about a doctor with PTSD. Hana (Riseborough) has been working in a war trauma unit along the border between Jordan and Syria, and has returned to the city to re-centre herself; by her own bleak admission she's "seen things nobody should've seen". For much of the film the heaviness of Hana's spirit is felt rather than explained, reliant on Riseborough's nuanced facial expressions and physicality rather than dialogue. She gets drunk and dances in the hotel bar, but the scene is tragic rather than cathartic; as she crumples against a wall we sense the weight of what she's been...'It's crazy, but I started my own bank': the story behind Starling

As the social makeup of different parts of the country is shifting, so too is the balance of power in electoral politics.

Moving to the outskirts of town? Here are my five top tips For the first time in my life, I'm a trendsetter. Young people, no longer tied to offices, nightclubs or adult ball pits, are moving out to... the suburbs, where rents on sensible maisonettes are rising at the same rate that flats in town are falling. I am proud to say I was early to this; I was the first to officially give up. Give up on the city. Give up on £4 coffees drunk meaningfully on pavements, give up on night buses that stop on your doorstep, give up on nighttimes altogether. Give up on knowing the exact shape of your neighbour's orgasms, and the sweetness of losing yourself in a crowd.

Torment and catharsis: Sunderland's David Corner and the 1985 League Cup
The Guardian - 8 Nov 2020 10:00
An error at Wembley in the 1985 final led to years of bullying. But a play about his life has enabled David Corner to share his experiences The second half was a few seconds old. Dave Watson, the... Norwich centre-back, pumped a long ball into the corner. There seemed little danger. The 18-year-old Sunderland centre-back David Corner tried to shepherd the ball out for a goal-kick but John Deehan nipped round him, kept the ball in play and cut it back to Mick Channon. He was tackled but the ball broke for Asa Hartford and his shot flicked off the chest of Gordon Chisholm, wrong-footing the goalkeeper, Chris Turner, and scuttling in at the near post. It was the only goal of the 1985 Milk Cup final and would come to define Corner's life.

This life of Maurice Wilson, the son of a Bradford mill owner who tried to climb Everest alone in 1934, is a riveting tale of trauma, spiritual awakening and postwar derring-do On 16 April 1934,... Maurice Wilson set off from the Rongbuk monastery in Tibet to climb Mount Everest via the North Col, entirely alone. He carried 45lb of equipment and food including a defective altimeter, his talismanic "flag of friendship", an ice axe (but no crampons), a copy of The Voice of Silence (his Buddhist text), and a concave mirror (to signal his progress). He also bore the blessing of an ageing lama, and the dream of reaching the roof of the world - the first person ever to do so - on his 36th birthday.
