Frank Kermode and Stephen Spender resigned from “Encounter” when the magazine was revealed to have been funded by the CIA. But were they really taking a principled stand?

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media.
It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.

There’s an increasingly strong case that Rory Smith is the best journalist in Britain
I’ve been talking to Jordan Henderson, on and off, for the last three months or so. We talked a lot about captaincy and responsibility, but also about the Super League and player welfare and equality and the NHS and abuse. He has a lot to say. nyti.ms/3wsfhgu
