‘A God-almighty punch-up’: rare footage shows Battle of Hastings (the 1966 one)

‘A God-almighty punch-up’: rare footage shows Battle of Hastings (the 1966 one)

English Heritage acquires film of first re-enactment, ‘a lot of pushing and shoving’ between Kent and Sussex students At the top of a hill in a field near Hastings, a group of defiant English combatants awaited the invading army of William the Conqueror, brandishing their spears and shouting “Harold! Harold!”. Unfortunately, the Norman army had been held up in traffic on the A27 from Brighton, meaning the most significant battle in English history had to be delayed by 20 minutes while the French got into their costumes.

Badenoch is trying to match Farage step for step – but it’s a dance of death for the Tories | Polly Toynbee

Badenoch is trying to match Farage step for step – but it’s a dance of death for the Tories | Polly Toynbee

At conference here in Birmingham I’ve found a growing swell of opposition to the leader – and a vision of the Conservative party to come You can walk all the way from Somerset to Sussex without crossing a Tory-run constituency, if you wish. You could also travel through each of the counties of Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset and Surrey without setting foot in Tory lands. They are now mainly Liberal Democrat, and there’s not one Tory MP in all of Oxfordshire. Is Kemi Badenoch bothered? Everything she does seems cleverly designed to keep those places lost to her forever as she woos Reform voters, unsuccessfully. The more she leans right, the more she repels home counties moderates. Those Reform voters are not coming back, psephologists say. Without reclaiming the old “blue wall”, there is no hope, ever, of a Tory majority, say both profs Tim Bale and Rob Ford and just about every political authority you care to ask. Polly Toynbee is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

Football Daily | Klopp, Xavi, Zidane, Mancini: big nations ready to unleash bigger dogs

Football Daily | Klopp, Xavi, Zidane, Mancini: big nations ready to unleash bigger dogs

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! While Thomas Tuchel continues to gaslight his employer s at the FA into believing he was in no way responsible for England’s comically shambolic semi-final exit at the hands of Argentina, not every head coach who underperformed at the Geopolitics World Cup is still in their job. A total of 17 different managers who took teams to North America have since left their roles, with safety-first’s Steve Clarke, failing-up’s Roberto Martínez and tyranny’s Marcelo Bielsa among them. In Europe, teams such as Portugal (Jorge Jesus), Croatia (Slaven Bilic), Scotland (Sébastien Pocognoli), Czechia (Santi Denia) and Belgium (Mark van Bommel) will go into the Nations League under new management, but it is towards the bigger dogs of the football pack where Football Daily wishes to turn today’s beady gaze. Prize o’ the day to Barry Glendenning, surely, for mentioning Johnny Crumplin (football genius) in Monday’s Football Daily . As an Ipswich fan marooned in Sussex, I spent much of my teenage years at the Goldstone which, despite being a dump (I stood on the crumbling South Stand), held a certain magic for me. It still does, actually. Haven’t been to the Amex yet – hopeless nostalgia is undoubtedly a factor. The team weren’t much better than the ground for most of that time, but the 1987-88 promotion season was memorable. Garry Nelson was a bit special, Doug Rougvie had played under Fergie at Aberdeen and Gerry Armstrong had legendary status after *that* goal, but the rest of the team probably (and unfairly ) fall into the journeyman category. I loved them all. Keith Dublin dribbling his way into and then out of trouble, sleeves-up Kevin Bremner who grafted and worked the Albion into the promotion places, Deano (one of the Wilkins brothers) classy and, of course, Barry Lloyd, who never brought a sub on until the last four or five minutes, frustrating us beyond belief. And into this pantheon came teenage Johnny C who, to start with, was utterly hapless, hence the nickname football genius. Somehow, despite this, we took to him from the off and it was lovely to see how he grew into becoming an Albion legend in what were fallow years. Blimey, not sure where that all came from – you can probably tell I’m stuck out in the middle of the Fens on a slow-moving train. But thank you for bringing it all back to me!” – Jonathan Foulkes. I know the powers that be have listened to Football Daily’s ‘Stop Football’ pleas and given us very little to do for the next three weeks but, as we are just five games in to the Premier League season, can everyone stop going on about the race for the Golden Boot and which team are going to bloody champions” – Nigel Sanders. Judging by the photo of him sitting behind their ‘Life’s Good’ logo in yesterday’s Quote of the Day , LG could do a lot worse than appoint José Mourinho as a brand ambassador for their campaign. As football watchers have long known, he exudes the spirit of that exclamation from every single pore” – Andrew Parker. So, Jonathan Wilson has a new book, about football in Eastern Europe, Behind the Curtain , while his take on Zidane as the new France manager will reveal the ‘ wizard behind the curtain ’. Brilliant effort from the subeditor and marketing team working in harmony” – Paul Vickers. Continue reading...

Autumn by Kate Mosse review – tender reflections on time and place

Autumn by Kate Mosse review – tender reflections on time and place

The author of Labyrinth on the turning of the seasons and the lore and landscape of her beloved Sussex Kate Mosse’s new book is a love-song to West Sussex, part of a series designed to bring out its authors’ personal connections to a home landscape. It began last year, with Michael Morpurgo welcoming spring in Devon, where he has lived – at the farm that inspired War Horse – for over 50 years; and then Val McDermid celebrating winter in Scotland, where she grew up and still lives . Bernardine Evaristo will explore summer soon – but, meanwhile, we have Mosse, also deeply and endearingly rooted in her chosen patch. Mosse grew up in the village of Fishbourne. She now lives in Chichester, where she got to know her husband when they revised for A-levels in the shadow of the Bishop’s Palace, and held hands when she turned 17 on the day of the city’s annual Sloe Fair. Twenty-three years later, they celebrated her 40th there, with their children. Today, they live with his 90-something mother Granny Rosie – also “Sussex to her bones” – who remembers watching cattle herded in fields where a supermarket now stands. Continue reading...

Diana's brother likens media treatment of Harry and Meghan to princess' experience

Diana's brother likens media treatment of Harry and Meghan to princess' experience

London: Earl Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, has compared the media treatment of Prince Harry and Meghan to the intense scrutiny his sister faced before her death, warning that important lessons must be learned from that period. In an interview published on Sunday, Spencer said tabloid coverage of Diana and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could be "really, really unpleasant". “If you look at an article in a tabloid about Diana or the couple that you were mentioning, Harry and Meghan, you know, they can be really, really unpleasant,” he told the BBC. “I think it would be really beholden on people to learn from Diana's example. “I'm not here to speak for Harry and Meghan, but for anyone who's being destroyed in this way daily, it must be such a cancerous influence in their life.” Princess Diana died aged 36 in a car crash in Paris in 1997 as photographers pursued her vehicle on motorcycles. Her death prompted widespread public grief and renewed debate over the role of the media in covering the private lives of public figures. Prince Harry and Meghan have previously spoken about the impact of what they described as a toxic media environment on their lives before stepping back from royal duties and relocating to the United States in 2020. The couple also launched legal actions against several British tabloid newspapers before returning to Britain in August. Spencer has attracted significant attention in recent days following the publication of excerpts from his book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, serialised in the Daily Mail. In the book, he accuses Diana's former husband, King Charles, of sounding “giddily elated” in the hours after her death. Buckingham Palace responded by saying that the King “is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss”. The publication of the book and the return of Harry and Meghan to Britain present fresh challenges for King Charles, who continues to undergo treatment for cancer. Diana's family has long accused the royal household of failing to provide sufficient support to the princess before her death, allegations that have also been echoed by Prince Harry, whose relationship with much of the Royal Family remains strained.

Yorkshire v Somerset, Sussex v Nottinghamshire: County Championship cricket, day four – live

Yorkshire v Somerset, Sussex v Nottinghamshire: County Championship cricket, day four – live

All the latest updates from around the county grounds Middlesex crisis deepens | Email Tanya or post BTL It was a tense day at Headingley, cold enough in the shade for the stewards to wear gloves, but hot on the pitch where Somerset wobbled but just about held on to their Championship dream. It took more than a session to break Yorkshire ’s overnight partnership of George Hill and Dom Bess, who played with swaggering patience in a seventh-wicket partnership of 166. Hill finally fell to a top-edged pull for a season’s best 89 to Craig Overton, who chased him to the rope to say well done. The former Somerset player Bess followed for 77, all material for Tom Abell’s best man’s speech at Bess’s wedding next month. Set 287, Somerset had a catastrophic start when Josh Thomas was caught behind in the first over, and a couple more wickets followed, the fielders providing regular reminders that the title has never gone to Taunton, before Abell and Tom Lammonby saw things through to the close. Tomorrow’s magic cider number is 214. Continue reading...

England ’Til I Die review – a chilling portrait of a town turning on its neighbours

England ’Til I Die review – a chilling portrait of a town turning on its neighbours

Film-maker Jamie Roberts follows a Sussex man’s journey into the far right. If it wasn’t so horrific, parts could feel like they’d been written by Chris Morris Standing in the street shouting virulent slogans or chanting loaded refrains about Islam was the mainstay of British far-right groups such as the EDL in the early 2010s. Now, that behaviour feels almost quaint. Recent weeks have seen major anti-immigration blockades in Dover led by balaclava-wearing men, and direct action against asylum seekers arriving on a small boat in Portsmouth. Clearly, in 2026, the blame for much of the societal rot that has set in has been placed frequently at the feet of migrants, and vigilante tactics are on the rise. Channel 4’s one-off documentary arrives with depressing timeliness, then, telling a story that serves as a synecdoche for events playing out across the UK, at large. It is, says its maker, “the story of a community on the frontline of Britain’s broken asylum system, and one man’s journey into the heart of the far-right movement”. Continue reading...
