Boris's win proves the soul of our nation is intact - I am so proud of what our country has done
God, I love this country. There we were on Thursday afternoon with a sick dread roiling around our stomachs. The worst butterflies since exam results. Clutching at straws – or straw polls anyway. Unable to sleep peacefully until all was well on Friday morning (it’s going to be alright, isn’t it?) Pictures on the news of Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband made you nostalgic for a time when a Labour victory might mean you’d be a bit sad not downright terrified.

I felt desperately lonely, despite being a mum of four
I walked out on my marriage to Graham* in 2013. We had three sons, Harry, Robert and Luke, then 12, 11 and nine; I also have a son, Simon, who’s 30, from a previous marriage. Graham was controlling, at times physically, and I simply couldn’t live with him any more.

RBS boss Alison Rose: Why I'm supporting Women Mean Business
The UK is not short of women who want to start a business and have the combination of passion and skills needed to succeed. However, access to funding, caring responsibilities and even the concept of what entrepreneurship involves can act as barriers. That’s why events like today’s Women Mean Business conference are so important, we need to keep our focus on removing the obstacles that stand in the way.

Farewell to my honest, witty friend and girl crush, Deborah Orr
I’m not a fan of the starling chatter of Twitter. There’s only one person I’ve ever enjoyed following and that’s the brilliant journalist and self-proclaimed “womanist” Deborah Orr, who died on Sunday morning. Deborah was as trenchant, funny, truthful and idiosyncratic in her tweets as she was in person; hence her 63,000, mostly female followers.

Why it's the best time to be a female boss in the UK right now
It is a depressing truth that fewer than half of young people are able to list an entrepreneur who inspires them. Of those who can, 85 per cent will name a man – most commonly Lord Sugar or Sir Richard Branson. How unfortunate that the female tech entrepreneur currently consuming most column inches is doing so not for business acumen, but for an alleged dalliance with our Prime Minister.

Relationship therapist Esther Perel: 'An affair doesn't have to be the end'
‘Tinder won’t last,’ declares Esther Perel with disdain, forking asparagus dusted with Parmesan into her mouth. ‘I’ve yet to find anyone who tells me that dating on any app is fun. Nobody tells me that it’s playful or mischievous – it is utterly uninspired, devoid of imagination, seduction, charge or excitement. It’s just romantic consumerism.

The kids have left home – what now? How to thrive in an empty nest
Of all a child’s rites of passage, by far the most uncomfortable for parents is the day they leave home. It is an inevitability, of course, yet somehow, even after nearly two decades of school runs, homework and the general drudgery of parenting, it can come as a nasty shock. “You suddenly feel desperate to hang on to them; to feel you have a purpose,” says Ros Carman, a psychotherapist based in south-west London.

7 lessons every midlifer should have learnt
‘Why did I say that to that boy at that party when I was 16?’ ‘My face is never going to look untired again.’ ‘Where’s my phone?’ ‘I wonder what the priest looks like naked.’ ‘I’m not going to be able to handle this.’ Just a snapshot of the thoughts that have pinged through our heads in the past two minutes. Sometimes you just have to turn around and tell your thoughts, firmly, that they are being unhelpful. We have between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts a day – some of them are going to be hellish.
