Truth to power – the ability to hold those in the very highest office to account – is one of the many privileges of living in a democracy. It takes persistence, strength, the ability to speak freely and, above all, time. But last week justice was finally served – despite an avalanche of opportunities in the months that preceded – and our Prime Minister was held to account. This isn’t just a win for those who felt betrayed by Boris Johnson over Partygate or the many lies that shrouded it, it is a win for democracy, for navigating life with a strong moral compass and for living by the values as a society we teach so young: “Do the right thing”. In a world of wrongs, where each month of…

shopping Super high cut, held together with floss, totally transparent after one dip… today’s swimwear isn’t exactly wearable. So we asked the experts for some styles you can actually swim in fashion: billie bhatia diving in Alix Walker, stylist’s editor “My issue with swimwear right now is that it’s not made to actually swim in. Unless you’re entirely static ona sunlounger, your boobs don’t have a chance of staying put under the flimsy flaps of fabric that – even worse – go transparent as soon as they hit the water. Show me a bikini that looks great while swimming, running and chasing a toddler and is crucially not see-through!” “Having swum across lakes in Italy and in London’s lidos, Speedo remains supremely comfortable,” says make-up artist and open-water swimmer Lisa…

the great regression From the rollback of abortion rights to the widening gender pay gap, it feels like we’re playing a losing game. Stylist’s Meena Alexander charts the Great Regression illustration: Niege Borges A few weeks ago, a clip was doing the rounds on TikTok. The title read, “How to marry a high-value man and become a housewife”, and it had 1.7 million views. It was not, as first suspected, a Mad Men parody from Saturday Night Live. It was a self-help video and, judging by the comments, lots of women were buying into it. In the clip, one woman asks another, “Tell me what you do for a living?” The subject replies, “I love my husband,” and explains how being “feminine” and “submissive” is key to becoming a stay-at-home…

The titles worthy of a place on your bedside table cult classic by sloane crosley “Some of us get smaller denominations from the romance ATM that others,” ponders Lola, a 37-year-old New Yorker, who for various reasons has had about 15 five-month relationships. Now, just as she’s about to commit to a guileless man nicknamed Boots, our wry narrator finds her exes emerging from the woodwork one after another. Is it all just a coincidence, or is something more sinister at play? Crosley, author of the bestselling essay collection I Was Told There’d Be Cake, is the sort of writer whose observations are so astute yet beautifully idiosyncratic, you want to grab a pen and underline them: “She ordered food as if she and the waiter were working on a project…

stylist advertorial From festival snacks to understanding ‘gut-lag’, we discuss how to keep your tummy happy and healthy this summer rom balmy evenings in the park to the return of festival season, there are plenty of reasons why we eagerly anticipate the arrival of summer. But the long days and hot nights can also disrupt our regular routines, impacting our body – especially our gut. Often called the body’s ‘second brain’, the gut plays a crucial role in our health and wellbeing, affecting many functions, from our mood and energy levels to our sleep and immune system. At the centre of this is the gut microbiome (GM), a unique ecosystem in our digestive system teeming with trillions of bacteria and microscopic organisms. Bigger than the average human brain, the GM communicates messages to our brain…

A ONE-DAY DIARY FROM FLAT WHITE TO LIGHTS OUT Darina Connolly, 39, is the head of music label partnerships at TikTok. She lives in Walthamstow, east London, with her partner, Wendy My alarm goes off at 7am. I always start the day with a cup of tea and a chat with Wendy, followed by a coffee (I highly recommend double caffeine) and breakfast – usually poached eggs, spinach and avocado. I’ll catch up on the news and social media, then squeeze in a quick trip to the gym before I start work at 9am. My earliest memories all centre around music. Growing up in Ireland, my older sister would bring home tapes from Virgin Megastore and I’d play every single one straight away. At school, swapping mixtapes with friends…

opinion With anti-abortion sentiment flying freely around parliament, now is not the time for complacency, writes Labour MP Stella Creasy If you live in England, Scotland or Wales, you do not have the right to abortion. There is nothing set down in the law of this land that says women have the right to choose, and yet we’re constantly told that what’s happened in the US could never happen here, that we shouldn’t worry about a rollback of our freedoms. America had the right to abortion carved into their constitution, and now it’s gone. Here, we only have the 1967 Abortion Act, which exempts us from prosecution for committing the crime of having an abortion under certain circumstances: we must get sign-off from two doctors who believe having a child…

beauty Still haunted by those orange, streaky, biscuity self-tan disasters of the past? Lay those demons to rest with the newest innovations, tested by Team Stylist words: LUCY PARTINGTONPhotography: HARRY PEDERSEN Self-tan sceptics, rejoice. Times have changed, and slapping on brown, gloopy liquid before a night out is no longer part of the experience.

The 24-year-old headed to Worthy Farm with…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS What will The Baby actor make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? To make it easier for people who come after you. I don’t know, as a whole, that we’re succeeding, but I think that’s the meaning: to try and pass on the lessons you’ve learned so younger generations don’t have to repeat them. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? It’s instinctive. You know the difference and if you have to overthink it too much, that probably isn’t a good sign. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? On Hampstead Heath with my sister playing frisbee. NATURE OR NURTURE? Nurture. I’ve been in therapy for years; I think it can do so much. And if I didn’t believe…
