Masquerade is probably *the* book of my childhood. Many many many hours spent poring over it on rainy 80s Sundays, discovering new details in the illustrations, desperately trying to intuit some kind of logic to the clues.
One of the most beautiful bits of english eccentricity and glorious design is coming back to Sotheby’s and should be bought by a musuem (or me) for THE NATION. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The reason why our media class think £2 million isn’t much for a house is that half of them went to private schools and grew up in houses now worth £2million. Bet they’re serving mum and dad funny tasting cups of tea

Research shows unequivocally what the benefit limit means: kids go without food, clothes, and heating. You can think it’s unfair some parents get cash you don’t or made poor choices you didn’t. But if you think that resentment is more important than a child, I’d suggest you might reflect on that.

The thing about "left on the economy, right on culture" is it's based on analysis of swing voters. Those voters are often low attention and their politics are often not especially coherent. Which is fine for them, it's not their job to run the country, but, you know, the government is

This country seems to have a bottomless well of sympathy towards asset rich pensioners and only contempt for anyone under 50 who is putting half their income into paying their landlords fourth mortgage and a big chunk of the rest into skyrocketing bills.
Look it’s never nice to find yourself in a position of having to move when you don’t want to but given that due to the volatility of the London housing market I have had to move FIVE TIMES since 2020 I’m struggling to feel very sympathetic towards people whose ’problem’ is a paid off 2mil property.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.
