Journalists and politicians often make friends across the divide – but it's not always for the best

Journalists and politicians often make friends across the divide – but it’s not always for the best
The most effective MPs end up being liked and respected by the other side almost by accident.
One of the strange features of journalistic life is that you are more likely to meet people who work for publications you disagree with. With some honourable exceptions, the default way that BBC producers cover knotty issues is to pick one journalist from a left-leaning publication, another from a right-wing one and let them have a row. (The actual politics of the journalists are wholly secondary, and the politics of their publications seem to have been decided in 1970, never to be revised.) ....

Guardian and Observer style guide: B

bete noire
betting odds
We frequently get this wrong. A brief explanation: long odds (eg 100-1 against, normally expressed as 100-1) mean something unlikely; shorter odds (eg 10-1) still mean it’s unlikely, but less unlikely; odds on (eg 2-1 on, sometimes expressed as 1-2) means it is likely, so if you were betting £2 you would win only £1 plus the stake.
Take care using the phrase “odds on”: if Labour is quoted by bookmakers at 3-1 to win a byelection, and the odds are cut to 2-1, it is wrong to say “the odds on Labour to win were cut last night” – in fact, the odds against Labour to win have been cut (the shorter the price, the more likely something is expected to happen). ....

Obituary: Nikki van der Zyl, voice artist who dubbed several Bond girls including Ursula Andress

Died: March 6, 2021.
NIKKI van der Zyl, who has died aged 85, played a vital but unacknowledged part in one of the best-remembered scenes in 20th-century film history. In the first James Bond film, Dr No (1962), it was her voice that issued forth from the bikini-clad form of Ursula Andress, whose own tones were judged “not exotic enough”, as she emerged onto a Jamaican beach, under the intrigued gaze of Sean Connery in his debut as 007.
A specialist in dubbing – or “revoicing”, to use her preferred term – van der Zyl stood in vocally for several leading ladies in subsequent Bond films. Her fees were modest – £25 per session for Dr No, rising to £30 for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969). ....
