Labour whispers “hard choices.”
The Tories shout “more cuts.”
Reform shouts “maths is optional.”
The Bear hears only one thing: snip-snip-snip.

The ceaseless snip-snip-snip of a dying state
Fifteen years of cuts have left the UK trying to "efficiency" its way out of a collapse – and somehow still expecting growth to show up as well

Funerals should just be car boot sales of all your stuff with a jacket potato and real ale stall, and everyone can wander round your stuff reminiscing about how weird you were, and wondering why you’ve so many sea-salt dispensers. The family can keep the money or donate it to charity.

Though she be little, she is fierce. A Midsummer Night’s Dream - William Shakespeare Welcome to the tiny but awesome Boston Blackfriars. Formerly a thirteenth century Dominican Friary, this venue was converted in the mid-1960s and now consists of the main theatre space, a cabaret bar and an art gallery. The theatre is a hemp house with a wooden grid, proscenium arch and a 24ft stage - not a lot of room in the wings but we managed to work around it.

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country.
I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him.
Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.

Microsoft is going to price gouge you by adding their genAI to your subscription without your consent, and they are not transparent about how to avoid this bullshit.
