Feminism for a World on Fire by Natasha Walter review – hope amid the hopelessness

By Samantha Ellis

A writer and activist links the climate crisis to battles for justice around the world in this vital book It has become increasingly difficult to change our minds, to question our own views or to find common ground with people we disagree with, all of which makes Natasha Walter’s new book both refreshing and exhilarating. In her ebullient 1998 debut The New Feminism, Walter hailed Margaret Thatcher as a trailblazer.

Penny Lane Is Dead review – Aussie slasher comedy zips from Neighbours to nasty

By Leslie Felperin

Mia’Kate Russell’s 80s-set Ozsploitation horror is a tad slapdash, but the grungy gore and seething catfights save it from dud status Here is a muddled if energetic effort from Australian writer-director Mia’Kate Russell. There’s a little too much blurriness around the edges, making relationships and motivations slightly opaque, while the last-minute entrances and exits are a bit on the haphazard side. But as a study

Carse’s night out shows Fleming must get a grip on this England squad immediately | Mark Ramprakash

By Mark Ramprakash

Another ill-fated nocturnal excursion by a contracted player shows the new Test head coach should be on hand to set and enforce standards After a brief reprieve following the dominant Test victory last week against a timid Pakistan, once again talk of England and cricket is focused not on the game but on the behaviour of the people playing it.

The war on ‘loudcasting’ phones can be won, but it will take some very British nudging | Dan Hancox

By Dan Hancox

Although mobiles blared in public are nothing new, this crop of headphone-dodging irritants are truly maddening. It’s time to take them on ‘Interesting cities can’t be quiet”, runs one of grime DJ and music industry thinker Elijah’s epigrams – and in its essential spirit, he is right. Silent, tidy, prim cities should be treated with suspicion. Any such atmosphere denotes that something has gone wrong at a macro level

Zip Wire review – cancer-curing scientist is on the hook for cable-dangle thriller

By Cath Clarke

This nonsensical film sees an OCD-afflicted scientist fending off assassins while hanging from an aerial wire, and fails to get pulses racing for even a minute In this silly, low-adrenaline thriller, the title star is a rickety old zip wire bolted into the side of a mountain in the Italian Dolomites that was never intended for human use. It was constructed in the first world war to sling weapons and supplies hundreds

Lloyds Bank is holding on to our urgently needed £5,500

By Anna Tims

We want our balance back, but we can’t access the money to pay for essential repairs and settle an electricity bill Last November, Lloyds Bank informed me, in my role as treasurer of my parish church, that the church account was to be closed and that I should open a new business account instead. This can only be done online, but a fault with their system prevented me – and local branch staff – from doing so. At the b
