Excellent news 👍

In 1966 I remember as a 12 year old listening to a transistor radio with an earphone (Radio Caroline or Luxembourg) at night, in my bed, & being absolutely blown away at hearing Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys for the first time #RIPBrianWilson #BeachBoys #GoodVibrations #music

Great concert - saw this at a rain soaked Charlton. SAHB & The Who were awesome

Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot Economic inequality breeds resentment and a desire to get even. That’s what fuels support for even incompetent regimes, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's a straightforward relationship: high #inequality leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer.

Beautifully serene

Benefit cuts with a red rosette are in many ways no different than those stained in blue. Joints still throb when the heating has to be switched off in winter. Stomachs still pang with hunger when there is only a biscuit for tea. And yet cuts signed off by a Labour Chancellor are in a sense particularly brutal. They come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal. The feeling that if this is life under the “good guys”, there really is no hope that anything will get better. Politicians, it turns out, really are all the same. That is the sort of loss that can’t be measured by a Treasury spreadsheet. It is also one that - once lost - is deeply hard to get back.

That will be yellow

It's a shame that your article on staff cuts in Yosemite National Park doesn't show El Capitan as captioned. However it does show a nice photo of Half Dome
