Articles: 2012

 * Boys, now you know why we’re always dieting - Maybe it’s the age — just past the dreaded four-zero — but every time I bump into a male friend these days I do a double take and then have the same conversation - 18th November
 * She’s working class, the Tories need her out there - How many female Tory back-bench MPs can you name? Louise Mensch doesn’t count — she’s moved to America. I’m guessing you’re thinking of Nadine Dorries, and you’re not the only one - 11th November
 * 100 lines, Hollande: homework gets children ahead - It is every working parent’s nightmare. You stagger through the door, knackered, longing for a drink — or just a chance to stare at the wall for a few minutes — and instead find yourself supervising what seems an unremitting flow of homework - 21st October
 * A shot girl of 14 shames the West’s whingeing women - Malala’s crime in the eyes of her assailant was to be a girl who wanted to be educated. - 14th October
 * It’s started: the popular uprising against cyberbullies - I have to confess that internet video clips are a guilty pleasure of mine - 7th October
 * Tell me, doctor, will my baby pass the yuck test? - The woman soldier in Camp Bastion in Afghanistan had “stomach pains” — not surprising, since it turned out she was giving birth. Apparently she had been unaware she was pregnant - 23rd September
 * It’s complicated but broken families have hidden strengths - One of my favourite films of the past few years is It’s Complicated. Written by the late genius Nora Ephron, it is the tale of a late-middle-aged couple who had divorced some years before but bond over a trip they have to make for one of their grown-up children - 16th September
 * An offer of a better education that’s bound to be refused - Last week 40 head teachers from schools such as City of London, Leeds grammar, Newcastle Royal grammar and Godolphin & Latymer signed a letter to The Times saying they are prepared to make access to their schools open to all if the government transfers to them the £6,000 a year that it spends on educating each child within the state system to set against the fees - 9th September
 * Installing a grannycam will halt the care home abusers - Last week I went to visit my granny. She is 97 but is in fine fettle and was tanned from a fortnight’s holiday in France - 2nd September
 * Listen up, Leveson – they’re all too happy to lie to us - It hasn’t been an easy time to be a journalist recently - 12th August
 * Turn on the TV, girls, and see someone to look up to - The best part of Olympic mania is the emergence of a raft of new female role models - 5th August
 * Nappy bag or the boardroom: feel free to choose, girls - I groaned when I read that the Google hotshot Marissa Mayer had been made chief executive of its internet rival Yahoo! last week - 22nd July
 * Swearing is the real curse of this ugly game - The little tyke — aged seven at most — was dressed in a new Chelsea strip, emblazoned with the name of his hero - 15th July
 * Cern’s next big mission is the hunt for female scientists - Fabiola Gianotti runs the Large Hadron Collider’s biggest detector at the Cern laboratories in Switzerland - 8th July
 * Cell 18-30 is taking bookings from our naive kids - The binge holiday has become a rite of passage, a ritual. Once school is out - or even GCSEs are over - gangs of young Brits head off, often by themselves for the first time, to foreign climes to “celebrate” - 1st July
