BUDGET REACTION. The £135 LV exemption for imports to the UK is being abolished from 2029 in what looks to be an anti-Shein move... wondering if that means more customs charges for, say, long sleeve USHC shirts bought from Bandcamp? (Gifts under £39 still except, though)

Reforming the customs treatment of low value imports into the United Kingdom

broken record on this but a similarly great beat for left wing media would be covering arts and culture and not just focusing primarily on politics and current events because there's a massive void there right now
it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.
