What are the planned new ticketing laws, and how much could they save fans?
A proposed law will make it illegal to resell tickets for events such as concerts above face value.

This is properly boss. About 20 minutes in one panelist said cost of ink if printing at home per milileter is more than that of the semen of a derby winning racehorse. This is the reason authoritarian creeps want the BBC shutting down

That British Library exhibition on maps is deffo in the dance off / lipsync / whatever it is that best describes something indifferent. Also Houseman's Book trip uninspiring. In short crossing the Euston Road proved, as so often in the past, to be a mistake.

Fascinating look at possible reasons why Reform’s former leader in Wales Nathan Gill became a Russian asset using the CIA’s MICE spy recruitment framework: Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego.
