Rate that art | Panic buying | Rich pickings | JD Vance’s antichrist | Autumn’s arrival A five-star review of the Bayeux tapestry ( The Bayeux tapestry: a stupefying, thrilling, horrifying masterpiece that shakes the earth, 3 September ).

Perhaps we need to bring back rationing? Jean Austin Crawle
