Clinton pledged that half her cabinet will be women, and her closest political adviser, Huma Abedin, was Muslim. The last Muslim woman who appeared prominently at a Trump rally was Ghazala Khan, the mother of a fallen American soldier who Trump implied was not allowed to speak because of her religion. And now a white man who promised to ban Muslim immigration is entering the White House

One of the most persistent sexist ideas is the assumption that women’s bodies always have to mean something: long legs in short skirts mean sexual availability, big boobs are unprofessional – it’s tiresome

'Within hours of arriving, I was on a yacht with some investors, being asked to join the Freemasons'

Suggesting that you can work out whether a woman was raped by speaking to her ex-boyfriends is tantamount to saying that there are certain women who are ‘asking for it’ so much by their very character that they cannot be raped

It’s a nice idea that if you become rich enough, you can start to play God – but there are clear limits to the Facebook creator’s apparent omnipotence

If you liked Brexit, you'll love seeing Carswell stick it to an expert who thinks he knows about science

It’s astounding to me that people can hear ‘Three-quarters of your society could be obese by 2035’ and react with: ‘This is clearly a problem at an individual level’

Sidebars of shame are usually the Daily Mail’s thing, but it’s good to see that the Sunday Times is muscling in on some of that action – because shaming women is a big job concerning half of the entire world’s population, so one newspaper can hardly be expected to answer that calling alone

In 1978, Margaret Thatcher claimed that 'there may be poverty because people don’t know how to budget, don’t know how to spend their earnings, but now you are left with the really hard fundamental character – personality defect'

As someone who is not so much on the housing ladder as standing directly underneath the scaffolding while thousands of well-heeled pensioners periodically dump buckets of their own sewage onto my head, there’s only so hard I can laugh when I hear gags about the three Brexiteers squeezing a bunk-bed into a mansion

'Listen to this: Britain has the lowest social mobility in the developed world,' David Cameron said in a speech five years after he became Prime Minister, which was about as encouraging as what May has said this week

May wants to stand up for the 'ordinary worker' and pull big business bonuses into line. I guess she forgot about the time she voted against creating jobs for young people using money from bankers' bonuses

When even Boris Johnson and Michael Gove look like they're speaking at a funeral, you know we're in trouble. Not even they really wanted this

The rent I’ve paid in London since I left UCL has steadily increased by around £80 per month. I’ve lived on people’s floors and sofas, inside a friend’s airing cupboard and in a condemned property without glass in the windows

I like the idea of opting in to a positive, forward-looking community that takes – and has taken – serious steps to affect climate change, animal welfare, employment rights and humanitarian responses to global conflicts

We find make-up for fair complexions that will go the distance this summer
