Margaret Atwood is doing her grocery shopping in her local supermarket in Toronto, and it is taking longer than usual. This is not because The Handmaid's Tale author turns 86 this month, but because she is checking the provenance of every item before it goes in her trolley: California satsumas out; Canada spuds in.

Reports on Thursday, initially in the Times, suggested a vote that would determine Israel's participation in World Cup qualifying and that of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League could be held by Uefa's executive committee before the international break begins on 6 October. Uefa said there were no meetings scheduled for next week, with the next exco gathering scheduled for 3 December.

There is no honour like an invitation from the King, and not to accept his invitation goes against all of our instincts. But I fear we could have a situation where Donald Trump comes to our country, is honoured with a lavish dinner at one of our finest palaces, yet no one reminds him that he has the power to stop the horrifying starvation and death in Gaza and get the hostages released.

Swatch has faced backlash and accusations of racism for an advert that featured a model pulling the corners of his eyes, causing significant outrage on social media.

"It's time for women to vote with their wallets," the gender-critical author wrote. "If stores like M&S continue to flout the Supreme Court ruling on women-only spaces, prioritising the wishes of men who want to undress near, or help fit bras on teenage girls, a boycott seems appropriate."

In a staunch reaction, Megyn Kelly has threatened Versace over their collaboration with Dylan Mulvaney, warning of potential sales declines driven by conservative backlash.

Many stores across the country are open today for those needing last-minute items, despite calls for a boycott against retailers over DEI policies.
