Amid the massive row triggered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks on the Congress manifesto, party chief Mallikarjun Kharge has written to him, saying that he "would be more than happy to meet you in person to explain our Nyay Patra".
BRADFORD schoolchildren have created an animated film exploring their hopes for a post-Covid world. Youngsters at Lapage Primary School on Barkerend Road took part in Zoom workshops earlier this year, looking at themes of light, hope and inspiration for them, their families and communities as lockdown restrictions ease. The result was a poem written by the students which has been brought to life by a children’s animator and is being screened on Bradford Literature Festival’s website. The project is part of the festival’s ‘Bradford Inspired’ programme, delivering a range of free-to-access creative projects using digital technology to engage people at a time when access to cultural and creative resources is limited, and to help people feel connected within their communities.

I keep reading about fantasy dressing. Getting dolled up for the big fin de siècle party at the end of lockdown. Call me a northern miserabilist but I won’t be buying any special partywear for a potential Gatsby-grade knees-up. I have plenty already. And while I can’t wait to see my friends and get back to normal, my only sartorial plan for When All This Is Over is to throw out a pair of off-white canvas trainers trashed along the way.
