A brutal schedule, merciless crowds and always on the road: is professional darts all it’s cracked up to be?
For many of the performers in the 12-month circus, the tour can be soul-destroying and lonely with only the promise of untold wealth to keep them chasing the dream

Bonmatí scoops top honour for third successive year

Sarina Wiegman and Hannah Hampton win awards
On a breathlessly glitzy night in Paris, Ousmane Dembélé won the men’s Ballon d’Or award for the first time. It was a victory that brought the audience in a fever‑pitch – Théâtre du Châtelet to their feet, reward both for Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League triumph and Dembélé’s own stellar form since Christmas.
Otherwise it was a night of flowers and gongs for English football in Paris as the women’s game swept the opening half of the ceremony. There were awards for the England head coach, Sarina Wiegman, the England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton and Arsenal, the Champions League winners, as club of the year.

Why in the name of almighty fuck would the New Yorker even publish this?
According to polls, Nigel Farage—once nicknamed Mr. Brexit by his friend Donald Trump—is the most popular politician in the U.K., and his right-wing, anti-immigrant Reform Party has a good shot at jolting the country’s ruling duopoly off the rails.
Britain Is Manifesting Nigel Farage as Its Next Prime Minister
Donald Trump’s state visit only added to the seeming inevitability of the right-wing Reform Party.
