What happened to Gibraltar? I went to the Rock for @dispatch__media, and people kept telling me that they live under a dictatorship…
Angus Colwell retweeted
Every so often, a fashionable new concept is born. Witness the arrival of 'matrescence', which, for the uninitiated, is a phrase used to describe the physical, psychological, emotional and social transition a woman undergoes when becoming a mother. Or, as my mother and grandmother would have put it, and perhaps yours too: motherhood. 'Matrescence' first appeared in the 1970s, coined by the medical anthropologist Dana Raphael, but it seems to be reaching maturity now. Adverts splashed across the back page of the New York Times make the case for the inclusion of the word in the dictionary. A 'global movement' is being launched (by a social networking site for women and a company that sells baby bottles) to put matrescence on the cultural map. 'When we don't name what happens to women, we don't study it. We don't fund it. We don't support it.' ✍️ Lara Prendergast Article | spectator.com/article/beware…

I observed Willie Dalrymple for @spectator
He’s really quite thick, I’m afraid.
🗣 "Jamie Smith, what were you doing?!" The England keeper-batter will not want to watch this one back. 🤦

Angus is one of the most exciting young food writers around. For the past few weeks he’s been exploring the length of England for this fantastic feature on the slow death of fish and chips. Make some time for it. 👇
I went to Scarborough for @dispatch__media to talk to struggling fish and chip shop owners, as yet another nail gets hammered into the chippies’ coffin. I became convinced the owners must be mad to keep going.
Such a fun piece to work on and immensely grateful to @jacobfuredi – subscribe to @dispatch__media! dispatch-media.com
I also ate quite a lot of the material.

England’s chippies are getting battered. In Scarborough — the capital of fish and chips — the Iran war, soaring fuel costs and dwindling fish stocks have sent prices soaring. So why do chippy owners keep frying? @AngusColwell reports: 👇

What should gents wear in the heat? The phrase ‘stiff upper lip’ was invented for this sartorial dilemma, according to Spectator columnist Philip Womack. Megan McElroy asked some of Westminster's finest, most fashionable men for their summer style tips. With thanks to Michael Gove, James Heale, Gawain Towler, William Atkinson and Christopher Hope.
