When lockdown started, The Times columnist and author Sathnam Sanghera (The Boy with the Topknot) invited his two young nieces aged 21 and 23 to live with him in his London flat. As they bickered over film choices, snacking, alcohol consumption and long hairs blocking the drains, his articles and social media posts chronicling the experience proved hugely popular. Sathnam and his nieces Jasveen and Simran Kular talk to the Labour MP Jess Philips (Truth to Power) about family ties, learning from each other, and life with an uncool uncle. Cheltenham Literary Festival. Online viewing option. £14 plus booking fee; Live Captioned
