‘They’re not going to bully me’

We sit down with one of the UK's first female Muslim MPs, plus the rest of our bumper newsletter

Dear members: welcome to this Friday edition on what is — understatement of the century — a very blustery day, courtesy of Storm Eunice. Hope your hatches are battened down; you’ve managed to persuade your boss to work from home and are ensconced in a pile of throws on your sofa! Today we’ve packed in:

• Mollie writing an ode to the divisive but long-running nightclub Fifth Ave (RIP), gone but not yet forgotten.

• Dani’s interview with Bolton South East’s MP Yasmin Qureshi, who was one of the first female Muslim MPs to be elected in the UK.

• “At Home With…” takes us to meet Chorltonian and Miller Dave Wilson, who invites us in for a cup of tea.

• This weekend’s to do list is replete with photorealism, multilingual poetry, wild food foraging, plus a typically vibrant performance by the Hallé.
