‘It’s a nice surprise to be treated like kings!’ Why are mid-level British indie bands massive in China?
My group, Swim Deep, plays to crowds of hundreds across the UK – but in China, we play to tens of thousands. And we’re not the only ones

Every so often I remember that Girls Aloud did a version of Can't Speak French in French and it makes me laugh every time.

Apologies for bringing the "Wuthering Heights" discourse down to a base level, but having read a few interviews with Emerald Fennell it seems to me she got given tens of millions of pounds to put her teenage masturbatory fantasy on the big screen and I for one applaud her for it.

If there's one lesson from recent history it's that nothing bad ever happens after you're unreasonably rude to an FT journalist.
Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question.
Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

Another triumph for Goodwin's campaign. No doubt he'll continue to pretend he cares about anti-semitism.

Giving Braverman the education brief is quite a choice for Reform. I was on an education commission with her once before she went completely mad and she knew absolutely nothing at all.

Is it more potholes? I mean I'm not an expert but that would be my guess. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
What is behind the spike in pothole related call-outs?
The AA says pothole-related call outs in January were up by 18% across the UK, with 6,235 in the East of England alone.

Vintage quote in Tina Brown piece. After lunch with the-then Prince Andrew, Boris commented, “I’m the last person to be a republican, but fuck. If I ever have to spend another lunch like that, I soon will be.”

Watched the Blair docs. Here's the quote – from Cherie – that has stayed with me:
“He is an amazing politician. As a husband and as a human being, that’s a different matter. But that’s really between me and him.”
What does she *mean*?

ahhhh my mate helped organise some of the Chinese gigs in that piece, totally fascinating, they explained that if you're the sort of band that's only going to be loved by 0.001% of the public but you apply that to a country of 1bn people then suddenly you've gone from the Brudenell to concert halls.

Gonna request Church House provide this decor for #Synod next time
I’m in Westminster where Nigel Farage is about to unveil his ‘shadow cabinet’ and the decor is slightly bonkers. Looks like he’s going to launch a Simon Cowell-era boyband instead.
