You're a voter in Clacton. Your MP triggered a by-election to delay an investigation into his financial affairs. The other parties refuse to pander to his self-indulgent vanity project. The only opposition he has is a man dressed as a bin, because this is not a serious election.
truly never felt more excited to share a piece of news with you all. i’ve had a dream of doing this festival for years and i am so ecstatic its finally coming true!! Daisy Chain Fields features an all-women lineup and 100 percent of the net proceeds will go to charities dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls. the lineup is truly insane and full of my heroes and friends. i firmly believe that joy, community, and music can be the drivers of meaningful change and I’m hopeful this festival will be just that. I absolutely cannot wait to scream and dance and sing with you guys August 29th!!!!

How the fuck are people on minimum wage in the UK meant to survive alone? The maths just doesn’t work. Take home pay for a 37.5 hour week (because nobody's paying breaks anymore) is around £1,700 after tax, national insurance and pension contributions, but rent alone somewhere cheap is around £800. Add £220 council tax, £350 utilities, and at least £70 a week on food, and you’re left with about £50 for the whole month and that's before transport or anything going wrong. Minimum wage doesn’t even cover basic living anymore.
they might be shit, it might end up that nothing they want to do works and they make everything worse, but everyone else is already doing that without the upside of even trying to make things better
I don’t care if it’s naive, I’m going for the ones that say nice things for once
If you can face it, these words written by Sarah Everard’s mother have never left me.

This is the image that will define this war - 165 young Iranian girls, killed while at school, who are mere ‘collateral damage’ to an out of control US-Israeli war machine.
