The Prime Minister’s boast at #PMQs having been told of a child eating cereal with water because their parents couldn’t afford milk should send the country into outrage. If you share my anger RT this widely

And then a small boy called out, "But the King is wearing no clothes!" He was immediately arrested by the Metropolitan police, and was prosecuted for disrupting the coronation celebrations. And that, children is how civil rights became a fairytale.

NTIA Says Goodnight to Printworks as UK Clubs face crisis with 10 Businesses Closing Every Month across the UK Michael Kill CEO NTIA Says "Printworks has been described as "the theatre of dreams", a "cornerstone of culture for the capital", and as this iconic space closes it will leave a huge void in the UK's music venue scene. Playing host to some of the biggest names in the music industry and for many fans this venue will be hard to let go. It has shaped communities, nurtured talent and has an emotional connection with millions of music lovers from around the world." "As we say goodnight to this iconic space, we recognise that clubs and venues across the country are in crisis, with recent figures showing 32% of clubs closing since 2019, and only 865 nightclubs remaining in the UK, with 10 nightclubs closing permanently every month." "With the impacts of Brexit, Energy & Cost inflation biting, we need the Government to address the immediate issues faced by some of the hardest hit business sectors. The night time economy has already suffered irreparable damage, and similar to the wider hospitality sector will face further losses over the coming months, if we do not see immediate and decisive support from the Government for the remaining businesses." "The long term strategy for recovery has seen our industry suffer a huge amount of collateral damage, with independent businesses and culture being hardest hit. It will require swift and direct action in terms of a sector wide VAT reduction, strict management of energy supply and relief by OFGEM, a reevaluation of business rates relief particularly for late night businesses and a lowering of visa thresholds for international workers."

Nurses were being applauded by the Government on the steps of Downing Street during the height of the pandemic. Last week, that same government took them to court for fighting for fair pay. RT if you're behind our nurses as they defy the govt and strike tonight 👊

The record is out tomorrow. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a more stressful experience than bringing this to life. I’m also not sure I’ve ever felt anything more rewarding than actually managing to do it. It’s all yours, tomorrow. ✌️🖤💀

I wonder if these beer companies want their brands associated with golli*** dolls hanging from the ceiling? Please retweet if you think they should withdraw their produce immediately. @FostersUK @strongbowuk @Efes @GuinnessGB @LoSBrewery

This is what local journalism should be about. I particularly enjoy the sign by the swinging boats that says “sing while you ride to get half as long as twice the time”.
For generations the Children's Pleasure Park in Southampton has been a brightly coloured, joyous presence. In celebration of one of Hampshire's most charming attractions, where no surface goes undecorated and all the rides are priced as if it's 1985. tinyurl.com/murtx2z7

UK based bands have faced all sorts of issues with European tour dates - Now artists from the EU are being hit with complex and unfathomable rules that are seeing them turned back - cancelling shows and incurring costs
