Saturnalia and Wheels of Aurelia developers Santa Ragione have announced that they will "wind down operations and face a high risk of closing the studio", following Valve's refusal to allow their upcoming horror game Horses on Steam. https://bit.ly/49BcR6i

The (Parliamentary) LDs need to wake up in terms of economics. Negotiating a new trade deal with Europe would undoubtedly help, but it's not a quick fix or a cure-all. There needs to be an understanding ASAP that there are trade-offs that have to be made now. Opposing all tax rises is ridiculous.

oh yes I should have said in my post earlier, my audio book has made _me_ £2550 in three years, publishers take their cut first.
Oh one thing I should add is that earning out an advance on royalties is not the same as the book being profitable to your publisher; those are different numbers, but they are frequently conflated in these discussions. Ok done. Thank you!

Honestly, her response is absolutely risible, and I'm hardly a fan of Reeves.
When has Badenoch ever apologised or shown humility?

But it is appalling for the female leader of the opposition to be so personally vindictive against the first female Chancellor.
It is simply childish. Using personal insults to cover up for the lack of policy response from the hollowed out con party

The Chancellor is giving secondary schools £5 million in the #Budget for new libraries - shame it works out at just £1,200 for each school!

Good thing this government never u-turns at the first sign of opposition to trailed tax rises. I’m sure this one will never stick, motorists being a famously quiescent lobby of no interest to the tabloids who obsess Downing Street
💥 Govt says fuel duty to *go up* from next September.
In the past the OBR has assumed that fuel duty would start to rise after a one-year freeze.
This time, the govt has said explicitly that it will only be frozen for five months, and will start increasing it after that.

Around 300,000 women have been affected as a result of being administered DES to prevent miscarriages.
It was right that the Health Secretary apologised for this, but more must be done.
I am pleased that he will meet with me and campaigners to discuss the issue further.

After a year trying to persuade this government that migrant children also do not deserve to live in poverty, I can confirm that they know their policies cause poverty - especially for children - and they don’t care.
The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities

New asylum policies making homeless refugees “targets for the far right”
Labour’s abrupt return to the 28-day move-on period is pushing vulnerable people into rough sleeping and exposing them to fraud and abuse.
