NEW: Is Britain becoming more generous?

Despite a pandemic and a cost of living crisis, the amount of money given to charities has risen since 2019.

Here’s why I think technology, rather than soaring altruism, is behind it…

In 1997 the late Sir John Prescott said "we're all middle class now". What's happened to class since? I'll be on Times Radio later with Henry Bonsu to discuss

At the time, most people would've said they didn't belong to any social class. But in the mid-2010s, working class identity surged
