9 things that only midlifers know about parties
Parties do strange things to the human psyche. Just as the television programme The Secret Life of 4 Year Olds is set in a playground, if The Secret Life of Midults were a show, it should be set at a party. Or perhaps in front of the mirror before the party because of the weird things we do there – pulling skin taut, examining back fat, shooting ourselves a ‘winning smile’.

The 4 things Theresa May might have been trying to say with her Frida Kahlo bracelet
Amid the Mayhem, it could easily have gone unnoticed. But a few eagle-eyed commentators spotted that, during her press conference, in the wake of minister resignations and a letter of no confidence from Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Prime Minister was wearing a bracelet bearing the image of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Michelle Obama is right - we need to talk about miscarriage
She is unquestionably one of the most powerful women in the world — strong, authoritative; wonderful mother, supportive wife, world-class lawyer and dedicated campaigner. Even before she was First Lady, Michelle Obama was probably all of those things. The idea that her glamorous international life could bear any resemblance to mine seemed doubtful — or that’s what I thought, before I read last week that she too was a woman who has experienced the agony of a miscarriage. It’s amazing, really, that it is still so surprising to hear someone in the public eye talking about losing a child like this. It’s something so many women experience, and yet even in 2018, a woman who suffers a miscarriage often won’t know that two of her dearest friends have been through that same trauma.

Pale, male, and stale: are men really suffering from workplace discrimination?
Are men now under threat in the workplace? If you were to listen this week to a group of advertising executives at J Walter Thompson, you might believe so. The men claim they were made redundant for being “white, male, straight, and British”, and are said to have approached lawyers about the possibility of bringing a discrimination case against the company.

Could you have inherited your mother’s sex life?
No-one likes to think of their parents having sex. Every generation prefers to imagine they invented it themselves, although according to the poet Philip Larkin the precise year of its inception was 1963. So if your mother came of age before then, it might give you cause for concern. Why? Because researchers have found that children follow their mother’s example when it comes to the number of romantic relationships they have.

Who were the female faces in the sand?
Commemoration ceremonies took place up and down the country on Sunday as the UK poignantly marked the centenary of the Armistice. Tens of thousands came out in force to remember the selfless men and women who gave their lives, 100 years ago. Veterans and relatives of fallen soldiers marched past the Cenotaph in London, church services were held, and 1,000 beacons of light were lit up in the nation-wide ‘Battle’s Over’ tribute marking the end to the darkness of the Great War.

This was a #Metoo election and those who say differently ignore the ‘Pink Wave’ at their peril

Five things you only know about the US midterms if you’re a Brit living in New York
I honestly couldn’t tell you where I was for the 2014 midterm elections if my life depended on it. And not just because I’m a disenfranchised British expat with no voting rights here in America. I’d wager that barely any of my home-grown American friends could tell you where they were either. Because, until this year, nobody really paid that much attention.

This popular video game had a suffragette character - the results were depressingly predictable
It was such a nice idea. The makers of Red Dead Redemption 2, the most anticipated video game of the year, decided to do their bit for women's rights by putting a suffragette character in the cowboy-themed adventure, which was released last month. The game is set in the American frontier in 1899, the thinking went, just as women were campaigning across the United States (as well as Britain) for the ability to vote.

Women need to stop choosing career or family - and take the third way instead
Last week, while speaking on a panel on how to negotiate your worth at the Telegraph’sWomen Mean Business Live event, confirmed something intriguing I have seen in recent years: that female workers in the UK seem to approach the question of career or family as black and white. Either you work full time, with all the joys of long hours, overtime and commuting that come with it, or you become a stay-at-home mum. There’s no in-between.

‘Anti-bad vibes’ circles, price tags left on show… everything we learned from Meghan’s first royal tour
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first royal tour was always going to be a big deal. Their wedding five months ago was a veritable Who’s Who of global A-listers and while their job abroad was to practice a little soft diplomacy and serve as a projection of British culture and heritage, it was never going to be totally immune from Hollywood sparkle either. Thousands lined the streets; the young screaming at the smallest glimpse of the newly wed couple while grandmothers, who had witnessed countless royal tours, waited patiently to shake the latest pair of Windsor hands, curious to know what they would discover about the latest glossy addition to the family.

Porn star Stormy Daniels on Donald Trump: 'If I could go back I'd say no'
There are two types of people in the world, according to Stormy Daniels. ‘There’s the people who own their choices, and there’s the people who try to blame someone else.’ She elucidates with a scenario. ‘You got really drunk, went home with somebody from a bar. You wake up the next morning, realise you cheated on your boyfriend and you’re ashamed. So you’re like, “He must have slipped something in my drink.”’ Then, she says, ‘There’s the other set, that are, like, “Oh f—. I did too many dollar shots and woke up with an ugly dude. My bad. Now, can I get out of here without waking him up?”’
