Spectator Life

This week on Spectator Life, Andrew Watts wonders whether he was sent packing by his latest squeeze for his Zionism. Elsewhere, Alexander Larman argues that our national bear is Winnie-the-Pooh not Paddington and over in the canine world, Harriet Dolby laments the rise of middle-class dogs in coats. Meanwhile, Max Hardy tries to imagine what professions his three sons will enter into while Rhys Laverty gives some film tips to fathers on paternity leave. Finally, Zoe Strimpel needs a holiday; will she manage to book one without a travel agent?
