Thanks to the first volume of Michael Palin's diaries, I recently discovered the glory of one of the greatest travel pieces in British publishing history.
In early April 1977, The Guardian published a 7-page travel supplement on this "little-known" island nation.

Reform say they stand up for the working class - but they never have.
They’ve voted to block the Employment Rights Bill again and again.
It’s Labour on the side of workers: creating jobs, ending zero-hours contracts, and protecting workers from unfair dismissal from day one.

Turning Point UK published a video yesterday promoting “The King’s Army”, a group protesting against “immoral culture” while dressed in uniform.
This type of activity has been illegal in the UK since the 1930s under legislation brought in to combat fascism.

V good, clear case made by @instituteforgov
Local taxes aren’t scary, Treasury shouldn’t fear them, and if we’re going to do a hotel tax *anyway*, it should be a local tax and not a central one

I worked with Andrew a couple of years ago on something. I was impressed by his intelligence and astuteness. Truly an excellent journalist. Very sad.

Oh no, a fincel.

We need more of this. Morally this makes sense, but economically it does too. Poor people can’t participate in the economy. People who work shouldn’t be poor.
If we are all richer, then, well, we’re all richer!

Whoever you vote for tomorrow, don’t fall for the divide and rule tactics of the right.
Sending people to Rwanda will do nothing to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.
It will do nothing to rebuild the NHS, improve our schools or build more homes.
And it will do nothing to help the millions in work, struggling to pay the bills.

I’ve worked with sir Howard several times over the years and the depth of his expertise and advice was always second to none. When we say that we stand on the shoulders of Giants, we’re talking about people like Sir Howard.
