THE POLITICS OF PANIC

Katy Balls
‘We’re so close’: there’s a cautious optimism at Labour conference

When Liz Truss scheduled her mini-Budget for the Friday before Labour
conference, there was concern in Keir Starmer’s office. After months of
meticulous planning, Starmer’s team feared the new Tory government would use
their event to upstage his and distract from the party’s annual gathering in
Liverpool. They were right to think that Kwasi Kwarteng’s statement would
dominate the headlines; what they didn’t realise was that this would work
entirely to their advantage. The market chaos provided the perfect backdrop to
Labour conference: it reinforced a belief that, after 12 years in the cold,
Labour is finally on the cusp of power. They can now present the Tories as the
dangerous, slightly mad radicals and pitch themselves as the sensible option.

Suzi Feay
Explorer, author, soldier, lover: The Romantic, by William Boyd, reviewed
From the magazine

William Boyd taps into the classical novel tradition with this sweeping tale of
one man’s century-spanning life, even to the extent of providing the accustomed
framing device: the chance discovery of a cache of papers and mementoes. The
items listed by ‘WB’ in his ‘Author’s Note’ – a musket ball, a fragment of a
Greek amphora, a crinkly lock of hair – all find their place in the tale of this
19th-century adventurer, lover, traveller and author. Cashel Greville Ross (his
name turns out to be as mutable as his identity and nationality) is born in
Ireland in irregular circumstances – so irregular that a swift flight to England
as a boy is effected, the first of his many transitions. The temptation is great
for authors who place fictional characters in historical settings to have them
meet famous people along the way, but at least Boyd is knowing about it.

Don’t Worry Darling’s flawed feminism
From Spectator Life

Don’t Worry Darling, the highly anticipated psychological thriller directed by
Olivia Wilde, has arrived in cinemas after months of online gossip and
speculation about its production. The controversies include: an alleged affair
between the director and main actor, Harry Styles, who also happens to be one of
the most famous pop stars on Earth; the firing – no, sorry, ‘replacing’ – of the
originally cast main character (Shia LaBeouf was switched for Styles); a
reported fall-out between lead actress Florence Pugh and Wilde, which led to
Pugh not doing any publicity for the film; and a bizarre TikTok theory that Kiki
Layne and Ari’el Stachel were hired to meet the Oscars new diversity
requirements only to have most of their scenes end up on the cutting room floor.
