The White Lotus season two review – this immaculate show’s writing is utterly unrivalled

The glorious, layered comedy-drama is back – with sex on its mind. Set in Sicily, impeccable turns come from Jennifer Coolidge and new faces including Aubrey Plaza It is a measure of just how good the first series of The White Lotus was – the writing, the blending of murder mystery and sharp satire, the performances, the direction, the gorgeous photography even under lockdown conditions – that although people do vividly remember the turd being curled out into a guest’s suitcase by a man driven to the edge of tolerance, they remember it as only part of a flawlessly executed whole.

The people of Iran are teaching the west a song too many of us had forgotten | Jonathan Freedland

Iran’s football team have dared to show solidarity with those demanding basic freedoms that we take for granted You don’t have to be Welsh, Iranian or especially into football to have found good reasons to watch today’s World Cup clash of the two nations. Not because of what happened in the game – two late Iran goals to break Welsh hearts – so much as what preceded it. For the few moments before kick-off offered a brief glimpse of an uprising that may yet become a revolution – an upheaval that not only has enormous implications for Iran, its region and the wider world, but which is also reminding those of us in what we like to think of as the liberal, enlightened west of things we take for granted and may even have forgotten. The specific focus was the pre-match singing of national anthems. When Iran played England on Monday, the team pointedly refused to sing , a gesture of defiance against their country’s rulers and in solidarity with its people, many thousands of whom have spent ...
