The British aristocracy has never been so wretched
Our propensity to be seduced by the grandeur of country houses and noble families is rarely impeded by our politics. New Statesman writers have bravely confessed in these pages to weeping at Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, despite it being shameless Tory propaganda, or enjoying Brideshead, Saltburn, Bridgerton – all having the same alarming effect on audiences who should know better.

Gulf expat reactions to Iran war show us how countries like UAE instil loyalty in western migrants
When the US and Israel launched their strikes on Iran on February 28 and Iran retaliated by targeting the Gulf Arab states, I was closely monitoring social media accounts from the region. I research Middle East politics, with a focus on the Gulf, and the social media platforms I use are full of people living in the region – including western migrants, or as they tend to style themselves, expats.
