it really sucks going from “wow, i’m really happy this artist i love is finally getting widespread recognition and acclaim” to “i don’t think anyone should be allowed to hear charli xcx ever again” in the course of 2 months

I hate how everything costing a fortune is so normalised now. What do you meeeean £150 for a concert ticket? What do you meeeean £100 for a train ticket? What do you meeeean £50 for a family to have a chippy tea? What do you meeean £7 for a single pint? Robbing bastards!!

Ash Sarkar breaks down the real reason British culture is crumbling. Hint: it’s got nothing to do with immigration.

A fundraiser has been set up to buy toys and sweets for children living at a hotel for asylum seekers that was attacked yesterday by a far-right mob bristol247.com/news-and-feat…

In Bristol today it was not the police that prevented a lynch mob of fascists gaining access to immigrant housing but a cordon of antifascists bravely putting their bodies on the line to protect the people within.
The state is failing catastrophically to protect minorities.

Labour getting a lower vote share than 2019 obviously doesn’t make this a worse result, obviously. It does though make it seem particularly unfair that 2019 led to a consensus that the Corbyn movement were all freaks and weirdos with nothing to say to the country.

Big story is obviously Labour. But looking at the Reform surge, I wonder if we are one or two elections away from where France is now.

i’m sorry it lost the grammy to fucking what – at Chicago, IL
ALT "I Will Follow You into the Dark" is a song by American rock band Death Cab for Cutie, the third single from their fifth album, Plans, released in 2005. The song was nominated for the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, but lost to "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas.

Today on the 35th anniversary of Hillsborough, I'll be thinking about those lost, their families, and their enduring courage and determination to pursue justice.
Making the Hillsborough Law a reality would be a priority of my Labour government.

in those 14 years rents have gone up by about 40%, electricity has gone up by 36%, bus fares have increased by 60%, whilst food prices have gone up by 25% in the last two years alone.
In 2010 under Labour, someone earning £15,000 paid £2,726 in tax.
In 2024 under the Conservatives, someone earning £15,000 will pay £679 in tax.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is misleading because it completely ignores inflation. If inflation was taken into account the £15K in 2010 would be worth £22k in 2024. £22k would attract tax of £2,964.
