Ukraine, Iran, Palestine and Sudan: it has so many problems to confront and fails to do so. Seen up close, it is a study in stasis and decline, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Ahead of my new book, What A Time To Be Alive!, I am answering reader questions in today’s Guardian. Some great questions and at least two non-facetious answers theguardian.com/politics/202…

We asked you what you most wanted to put to our Guardian columnist. You responded in droves, querying her ‘beef’ with Burnham, who she thinks is this generation’s Hugh Grant, and what she really...

I’ve had some complaints / feedback due to posting too much about the RNLI, and so I have made a very difficult decision. After a great deal of consideration, it is with a great deal of regret that I have decided to carry on posting about them regardless because The Flying Farage Appeal is now at almost £370,000 and it’s my account so if you don’t like it you can just f**k off.

Hope those knuckleheads realise they’re acting as fundraisers for the brilliant work the @RNLI does. To the volunteers risking their lives at sea to save ours, thank you

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us. Any person or organisation questioning their actions or loyalty to this country should be corrected and ostracised. Anyone can drown, but no one should. rnli.org/support-us

It’s clear here in Silicon Valley that AI is advancing faster than humans’ ability to control it. That means even sober prophecies seem optimistic, says Guardian columnist Timothy Garton Ash
