Well, let’s see how this place goes, shall we?
What a fantastic idea!
Brilliant work here from Tim and his team.
I asked a while back about people collecting (and now missing) physical tickets and it got us thinking

After a couple of months of work we made something amazing (props to tech wizard Andrew and our Merch Market team)

Totally free, yours to use from Friday

To my ear, @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social is the finest Washington correspondent in the game. As well as being available in podcast form, his broadcasts can be heard on LBC in the UK.

It was my pleasure to interview him for the New European.
