Jamaat e-Islami, oppressed under Sheikh Hasina’s rule, could take unprecedented share of the vote on Thursday As the clock hit midnight, the women held their flame torches aloft and marched into the Dhaka night. “The people have given their blood, now we want equality,” they shouted above the roar of the traffic. For many in Bangladesh, the past few weeks have been a cause for jubilation. The first free and fair elections in 17 years have been promised for Thursday, after the toppling of the regime of Sheikh Hasina in a bloody student-led uprising in August 2024 in which more than 1,000 people died.

House of Commons business and trade committee calls for changes after series of scandals in sector The UK government needs to eradicate “unsustainable” gaps in the policing of franchise businesses after a series of scandals to hit the sector, a parliamentary committee has found. The conclusion forms part of the business and trade committee’s small business strategy report and follows a Guardian investigation in December which revealed claims that Adrian Howe, a former Vodafone employee who had agreed to become a franchisee in 2018, drowned after becoming convinced his deal with the multinational company would prove financially disastrous.

Public accounts committee says ‘systemic issues’ at DWP led to carers being wrongly forced to repay overpayments An influential MPs’ committee has urged welfare bosses to speed up redress for tens of thousands of unpaid carers who stand to have huge benefit debts written off after they were wrongly hit with carer’s allowance penalties.

Watermill theatre, Newbury This music-laced adaptation of Flora Thompson’s novels is a coming-of-age story that finds quiet beauty in a world on the brink of change Flora Thompson’s autobiographical novels, about growing up in the late 19th-century Oxfordshire countryside, have been adapted for stage before, in a 1978 promenade production at the National Theatre. They’re now better known for the BBC series where Laura – note the rhyming name – guided us through the quaint doings of village folk, as quiet rural routines encountered an industrial, urban future. In Hammerpuzzle theatre company’s new adaptation, Laura’s own story is very much the focus. We follow her journey from a childhood in which her future is limited, and her reading actively discouraged. Jessica Temple’s Laura is a tender mix of game and sensitive, clever and unworldly. Alongside her, director Bryn Holding deftly musters his five-strong ensemble of actor-musicians into entire communities, be it fellow schoolchildren comically reciting a backwards alphabet, or pubgoers performing a drinking song you’ll be desperate to join. At Watermill theatre, Newbury, until 14 March Continue reading...
National Portrait Gallery, London Freud was a master painter, but his drawings ranged from ordinary to awful. Guess which aspect of his work this show focuses on? If painting is a fast car, drawing is more like taking the bus. At least that’s how it felt to me, puttering along on the 27 to Paddington that is the National Portrait Gallery’s trawl through Lucian Freud’s sketches, engravings and even childhood crayonings, daydreaming until my stop, with the occasional flash of colour and flare when one of the exhibition’s “carefully selected group of important paintings” rolled past. This is a sad review to write. Freud seemed an unquestionable genius in his lifetime and I still stand in awe of the great modern paintings with which he won that crown. One of his 1990s portraits of “Benefits Supervisor” Sue Tilley towers here, in every sense, her face slumped into her hand as she sleeps vertical in an armchair, while Freud eagerly inspects every pore and blemish on her big naked body and translates her into an ecstasy of oily greys, whites, purples, ridged, pockmarked, magnificent.

Special spaces are a key part of government’s planned overhaul of special educational needs support Secondary schools in England must provide specially designed areas for neurodiverse children and pupils with special educational needs, ministers have said.
