Satire is nothing without contempt
On 30 April, the solicitors Mishcon de Reya asked me to join a panel commemorating the 25th anniversary of the High Court trial in which David Irving unsuccessfully sued Deborah Lipstadt for calling him a Holocaust denier. Deborah was there, alongside her lawyer, Anthony Julius. Irving's anti-Semitism had a particular purpose. Postwar, the chief obstacle to restoring the ideas of Adolf Hitler was what happened to the Jews. If their genocide could be denied, fascism could be rehabilitated. For the occasion, I prepared a list of the 16 principal characteristics of fascism which I take to be: 1) Exploitation of historic grievances 2) Frequent resort to states of emergency 3) Rule by executive order rather than by assembly 4) Disempowering of the judiciary 5) Attacks on the media 6) Threats to annex territory 7) Constant blaming of an enemy within 8) Insistence that the leader is above the law 9) Assaults on higher education and universities 10) Withdrawal from international organisations 11) Extreme nationalism 12) Elevation of the heterosexual family 13) Obsession with birth rates 14) Impassioned denial of historical truth 15) Persecution of particular racial groups and 16) Attacks on cultural institutions. With Donald Trump planning to turn the Kennedy Center in D.C. into his very own Bayreuth, we can surely say he is returning a full score card. Theatre is normally the most uneven of art forms. You must sit through a few bad plays to discover a good one. But, for me, 2025 has been unusual. Everything I have seen is good. I had already caught Mark Rosenblatt's Giant before I saw Howard Brenton's lovely play about Churchill and Stalin. Then came Kyoto, centred on the 1997 climate conference; An Interrogation, by a new writer, Jamie Armitage; the brilliantly directed opera of Festen; and Robert Icke's Manhunt, an evening investigating Raoul Moat. Most original of all, Self Esteem staged her new album A Complicated Woman at the Duke of York's, in an evening which blazed with energy and warmth.

Katie Price 'heartbroken' as kids 'advised to stay away' due to 'toxic brand'
Former glamour model Katie Price's children Junior and Princess, who she shares with ex-husband Peter Andre, are said to be keeping a 'professional distance' from their mum Katie Price has reportedly been left heartbroken after suggestions emerged that two of her eldest children, Princess and Junior, should publicly distance themselves due to worries over her unpredictable behaviour. The former glamour model's eldest two children, who she had with ex-husband Peter Andre, are carving their own niches in the limelight but are seemingly steering clear from being associated with their mum's celebrity status. A source confided in "There's been a clear shift. Princess and Junior love their mum but have been advised not to mix business with family, especially when it comes to joint red carpet appearances or interviews. It's not about cutting her off, it's about protecting their own brands." These revelations come in the wake of Katie, 47, facing a variety of legal woes, including a warrant for her arrest issued in March when she failed to attend a court date concerning her bankruptcy case. Despite owing in excess of £750,000 to creditors, Katie defended herself saying she was abroad at the time of the hearing. After being detained at Heathrow Airport upon her return to the UK, Katie made an appearance at the High Court. The star has been discharged of her tax debts since, with her overdue payments comprising income tax, VAT, surcharges and interest, as reported by the Express, all accumulated from self-assessments in the two years leading up to 2022. Katie Price has recently come under fire from animal rights campaigners after she shared a video showing her new puppy Rookie looking distressed during horse riding activities. "She's constantly in the headlines for the wrong reasons," an insider commented. "It's tough for her kids who are trying to build their own reputations. No one wants to see their parent branded 'toxic' online, but it's the reality they're navigating." Asked for a statement by Katie's representative declined to comment. Princess, 17, is carving out her niche with multiple beauty deals and is rumoured to be putting together a reality show separate from her mother's fame. Her brother Junior, 19, is forging ahead with his music ambitions, often appearing alongside his dad Peter and stepmum Emily at events. Despite any possible friction, Katie opened up about her relationship with her children on The Katie Price Show podcast, expressing: "They're doing their own thing, they're busy, but I'm always here for them." Regarding co-parenting with ex-husband Peter Andre, she admitted: "I don't always agree with things, but at the end of the day we both love the kids and that's what matters." Sources say there might be a "professional distance" between Katie and her children's burgeoning careers for some time yet. The source added: "They'll never turn their backs on Katie, but when it comes to their careers, they're being smart. They want to be seen as individuals, not as part of the circus."

More info Lady Helen Wogan, wife of the late British icon Sir Terry Wogan, left millions in her estate. The loyal spouse of 51 years stood by Terry's side throughout his life. Sir Terry passed away in 2016 at the age of 77, while Lady Helen died last year, leaving a substantial sum in her will. She passed away at the age of 88, leaving behind three children who are now set to inherit her wealth. Upon her passing, their son penned: "Lady Helen Wogan - 1936-2024. Our beautiful mum left us last night after a fantastic life. From a young Irish rose to Lady Wogan, she was the epitome of style and grace.

A strength and a belief that saw her through many of life's trials. A sense of humour and a turn of phrase that would have you in fits of laughter. "A proper lady in every sense of the word. Her and Dad are hopefully sharing a vodka martini and hoping we don't make too much of fuss. We love you Mum, now and forever.", reports the Mirror. Lady Helen left an impressive £4,948,334 in her will, which was reduced by £31,000 to £4,917,989 after costs and fees were deducted, according to documents approved by the High Court. The Sun also reported that Lady Helen left two tax-free gifts to two of her children - £850,000 to her son Alan Wogan, who is an executor, and £750,000 to their daughter Katherine. Sir Terry Wogan, who passed away in January 2016 after a brief battle with cancer, has left behind a substantial legacy for his loved ones. Each of his grandchildren has been gifted a £100,000 trust fund, accessible when they turn 25. The remainder of his estate will be divided among his three surviving children, Mark, Alan, and Katherine. Sir Terry died just months after hosting his final show on Radio 2, during which he revealed he had prostate cancer. His health issues led to his withdrawal from presenting Children In Need later that month. At the time, a family statement released by the BBC said: "Sir Terry Wogan died today after a short but brave battle with cancer. He passed away surrounded by his family. While we understand he will be missed by many, the family ask that their privacy is respected at this time."
