Review: Need a sound night's sleep? These earbuds can even cancel your neighbours
I am incredibly noise-sensitive. I have the disposition of an irritable bat, which is only exacerbated in a sleep setting. And I have neighbours whose noise is constant: coughing, kids screaming, shouting.

Shabana Mahmood faces revolt over her asylum changes
DAILY MAIL “For the millions in this country who want an end to unchecked illegal migration, Shabana Mahmood’s proposals for a Danish-style asylum system are a decent start. There are simple, commonsense tweaks to rules widely regarded as far too generous. A key sticking point will be Mahmood’s struggle to sell the proposals to her own backbenchers.

There's nothing accidental about the fantastic Mr Anderson
Film can be difficult to curate as not much material tends to survive once production has wrapped. Not so with the director Wes Anderson who has kept a meticulous archive of objects from all his movies ever since he came to reshoot some of the scenes for his first feature film, Bottle Rocket, in 1996 and found the props he had created had been sold. From that moment on, Anderson stipulated in his contracts that he would be the one “who looks after things”, as he put it.

AI's appetite for destruction of the jobs market is the biggest story of our times
At the beginning of this year, I saw something in the jobs market I'd never seen before in my 30-plus years in the recruitment business. The economy was growing, yet jobs vacancies were shrinking. This is not normal. Usually when the economy is growing, this goes hand in hand with job creation — but not this time. It's particularly bad in London. The capital has, it was announced last week, the highest jobless rate in the country, hitting an 11-year high.

Review: The life-affirming gospel of Patti Smith
Patti Smith has created a memoir which reads more like a gospel or beat prose-poem than a conventional autobiography. Which is, of course, entirely in keeping with the oeuvre that has made Smith such a lauded cultural figure, less a rock star than a wandering shaman; she achieved what Jim Morrison was too drunk, and then too dead, to pull off.

The Gleneagles Hotel
There are few places in Britain that blend old-school elegance with such effortless warmth as Gleneagles. Tucked into the rolling hills of Perthshire, this grande dame of Scottish hospitality has been welcoming guests since 1924 — from royals and golfers to weary Londoners in search of crisp air (and yes, the air really does taste different) and a slower pace. A century on, it remains a unique destination: part country playground, part five-star sanctuary and part time machine to a gentler, more gracious era.

The inconvenient truth about the decline of London's public loos
How very inconvenient — images have emerged of Peter Mandelson appearing to relieve himself against a wall after visiting George Osborne's house in Notting Hill. If only there had been a public facility nearby, he would have been saved the embarrassment. The irony is that he made a great exhibition of himself thanks to the absence of an invention first showcased at the Great Exhibition of 1851. That Victorian extravaganza was home to many firsts: the first major display of photography; the first demonstration of mechanical cooling (foreshadowing modern fridges); and the world’s first large-scale prefabricated building. It was also the first time that the public could use flushing lavatories — more than 800,000 people paid a penny for the experience, hence the phrase. The man responsible was George Jennings, an engineer and master plumber.
