Bold ideas for a well-dressed salad - and without the need for oil
It's hard to deny the transformative power of a good salad dressing, but you don't need much oil, if any. Honey, for example, will give \"a natural stickiness that helps adhesion to your salad, while the sweetness balances the acidity of vinegar\", says Tony Rodd, head chef at Pomus in Margate

You asked me questions that I've never asked myself. That may seem funny, but part of being Keir is just ploughing on' The man likely to be Britain's next PM
WHAT ABOUT A QUICKFIRE ROUND, Isay to Keir Starmer, who is pushed for time on the campaign trail, a few snapshots to help glimpse the man likely to be PM? Starmer is nodding. He's keen to be helpful, keen to be a sport, although a little unsure of this magazine profile business and the need to talk about feelings. We are in the green room, all mirrors and concrete, backstage at Labour's Scottish launch in Inverclyde, and unless I'm mistaken he still has on a layer of foundation. Ready? He folds his arms across his chest. \"Yes, by all means.\"

'Enough is enough' In red wall, Tory support is crumbling
It sounds odd to describe a wellto-do village with neat privet hedges, freshly mown lawns and three cars on each driveway as a no-go area. Yet for almost three decades, the pretty parish of Silkstone, on the edge of the Pennines, was unwelcoming territory for Labour folk.

Burning bright Arundhati Roy talks forcefully about India's 'mad pathology', the self-absorbed west and globalisation
By 2001, when this collection of 12 interviews with US writer and broadcaster David Barsamian begins, Arundhati Roy was already under fire. Leftwing critics, among them Aijaz Ahmad, had attacked her Booker prize-winning The God of Small Things (1997) for its anti-communism. In Kerala, where it was set, she was charged with \"corrupting public morality\".

A disaster foretold The story behind 1986's Challenger space shuttle explosion is a gripping catalogue of underfunding and stifling bureaucracy
In 1986, two catastrophic events occurred on either side of the cold war divide that shocked the world. On 28 January, 73 seconds after takeoff, the US space shuttle Challenger broke apart in mid-air, killing all seven astronauts on board and traumatising millions of viewers watching live on TV. Three months later, on 26 April, a meltdown at Chornobyl sent a radioactive cloud across the USSR and Europe. Two workers died immediately and the estimated death toll over time ranges from hundreds to tens of thousands. It's widely believed to have contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

A wild ride Tragedy and farce collide in the Irish author's beautiful, lovable and fun tale of lovers on the run in 19th-century Montana
The hero of Kevin Barry's new novel, The Heart in Winter, is a dope-fiend Irishman haphazardly subsisting in the mining town of Butte, Montana, in the 1890s. Tom Rourke has a poor excuse for a job as assistant to a poor excuse for a photographer, and earns drink money by writing letters for illiterate men luring brides from the east. His spare time is spent haunting brothels, racking up debt through his opium habit, and writing songs along the lines of: Ain't got a dime / But the sun's gonna shine/ Coz we's all bound for heaven/ On the Cal-i-fornee line. In his own mind, he is \"set apart from the hoarse and laughing crowd. He was at a distance of artistic remove from it was what he felt.\"

If Starmer is a 'political robot', he's one that has been hardwired to win
No drama Starmer. No surprises at last week's manifesto launch, no rabbits, no hats. Some in the audience are getting restless. Reporters yawn, or laugh, when the Labour leader says, for the millionth time, that his father was a toolmaker who worked in a factory. A voter at last Wednesday's Sky News debate told him to his face that he was a \"political robot\". The complaint is not only about style, but substance too. Opponents on the right lambast the lack of plans and policy detail; on the left they condemn the dearth of radical ambition.

Swipe. Swipe. Swipe. For a while I was swiping so much I was barely thinking. Dating apps had hijacked my fingers, brain and evenings. I'd swipe, mindlessly and without looking, under the table at group dinners or during TV ad breaks. \"This is modern dating,\" I'd tell myself. \"It's a job. I have to keep on going. This is the key to my happy ending.\"

'Look at me, look at me,\" said Martha-Ann Alito. \"My heritage is German. You come after me, I'm gonna give it back to you.\" It was a bizarre outburst from the wife of a justice on America's highest court. Secretly recorded by a liberal activist, Alito complained about a neighbour's gay pride flag and expressed a desire to fly a sacred heart of Jesus flag in protest.

Tommy is, without doubt, the head of his household. If he wants the air conditioning on, he simply glares at the unit on the wall. If he wants an early night, he'll miaow for the TV to be silenced. But, until now, Tommy has been living in violation of a law that bans cats from much of Singapore's housing.

Packed into the back room of a feminist bookshop in Madrid, 17 women hunched over their laptops, chatting and laughing as they passed around snacks. Every now and then a hearty burst of applause punctuated the sound of typing, each time marking a milestone as the group chipped away at what is perhaps one of the world's most pervasive gender gaps.
