A few events coming up in East Anglia.

“Iranian music should be international.”
Why is Iranian music still hidden from global ears, and how is one refugee composer changing that in Cambridge?

Jeez. Where did all these bots suddenly come from. For the record I am not Australian (that’s a different Stefanovic), I was born in the UK, I’ve never worked for Sky or Murdoch & much as I would love to visit I’ve never been to Australia. Hope that clears it up

Starmer's reset may be the least opposed arrangement, but the solution that has the greatest "strongly support" for anything is:

Becoming a full member of the EU.

A majority (53%) of the public support it, even before removing "don't know".

Remove "don't know" and you get 60% for rejoining.

Important polling evidence. Confirms previous census-based analysis that deprivation is a clearer driver of social distrust than is diversity. In fact, diverse areas have *higher* feelings of social cohesion and that people get along locally (once controlling for deprivation)
