Ayesha Hazarika: this leadership race has less dignity than a Love Island final

While many of you are getting ready to (attempt) to jet off to a Greek island to get away from it all, I’m heading to Scotland. For me the cooler climes is the equivalent of going to the Caribbean. Many of us are in despair about the state of our…

Ayesha Hazarika: Boris Johnson, like Icarus, faces a reckoning of his own making

No one was prepared for the sheer unbridled drama that unfolded yesterday afternoon in Westminster. Just before it all kicked off, I took a call from a prominent Tory who sounded utterly dejected. But what’s going to happen, I pressed them? Probably nothing they said. Cabinet members are too scared…

Ayesha Hazarika: I’ve realised why I like the Queen so much — it’s her Asian Mum vibes

I’ve been pondering why I’ve become so fond of the Queen. I was never one to fawn over the monarchy growing up — apart from when Fergie married Andrew because I loved her red hair and felt Anne of Green Gables had joined the royal family. That went well.

Evening Standard

Ayesha Hazarika: Keir Starmer may face disaster, but Labour stand to win either way

For a man whose nickname is No Drama Starmer, the leader of the Opposition properly kicked off this week with his promise to resign if given a fixed penalty notice for having a beer and a curry during a campaign visit to Durham last year. His team are confident that…

Ayesha Hazarika: I want to weep for an America that is no longer our moral beacon

When I was younger, I was obsessed with America. Like so many, I grew up on a television diet rich with American treats from Roseanne and The Cosby Show to The West Wing. Roseanne became a racist, “America’s Dad” was accused by dozens of women of sexual assault and Donald…

Evening Standard

Ayesha Hazarika: Our golden Queen ties us together. Will the royals unravel without her?

I had mixed feelings watching the royal family gather at Westminster Abbey for the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial service. It’s been another rough week for the monarchy following the visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, which turned from Caribbean Dream to PR disaster in real time. This comes…

Ayesha Hazarika: I was floored by Covid. Rumours of its demise are greatly exaggerated

I wouldn’t say that my body was a temple — although my middle resembles the dome of a mosque, the closest I get to my religion these days — but I was quietly proud that I had managed to dodge the old Covid for two years. I told myself that…

Evening Standard

Ayesha Hazarika: Woman to woman, Priti Patel, I’m feeling utterly ashamed by your lack of pity

Yesterday was International Women’s Day. I kicked off the celebrations by upping my HRT and plucking out a massive chin hair, the thickness of nautical cable. Forget closing the gender pay gap, life doesn’t get much better than that ladies, amirite? I was lucky enough to be invited to several…

Ayesha Hazarika: A year after Sarah Everard’s death it is high time for deeds, not words

Tomorrow, it will be a year since Sarah Everard went missing. She was abducted as she walked home after visiting a friend in Clapham on the evening of March 3, 2021. She did everything we women are told to do when walking at night. She was on a main road.…

Ayesha Hazarika: WWIII is on the doorstep — and my anxiety levels are through the roof

I know we’re all meant to be cheering the end of Covid restrictions but the fact that we’re on the brink of World War Three has slightly killed the vibe. Although maybe Putin can get away with it if he only invades Ukraine for 25 minutes and says he didn’t…

Ayesha Hazarika: Don’t blame romance scam victims — we’re all vulnerable to conmen

We have much to thank Netflix for, even if it’s holding you back from purchasing your dream mansion. Watching The Tinder Swindler and taking the bins out in the rain was the perfect way to mark Valentine’s Day and expose it for the fake, over-commercialised load of toilet that it…

Ayesha Hazarika: I felt queasy reading Met police officers’ ‘banter’ — it reveals a rotten culture

When it comes to Britain’s least trusted institution right now, it’s a toss-up between Downing Street and the Metropolitan Police. Both are mired in scandal and haemorrhaging trust at a time when we need strong, clean organisations which aren’t institutionally corrupt, incompetent or rotten to the core.
