Imcredible things are happening in British journalism
Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Upper administration at universities = the absolute worst.

They're going to "deport" Afghan translators and other workers who helped US troops during the war and basically let the Taliban kill them en masse.
That's the American way. "We're done with you, now fcuk off and die."

DOGE has been a FLOP, now disbanded 8 months early. Greatly exaggerating their "success" Trump and Musk lied to the taxpayers, never delivering a cent back to them. The real impact: slashing research, endangering public health, removing competent public servants, & creating chaos.

Listening to the audiobook of Barbra's autobio and WOW had no idea The Way We Were was so butchered—I mean, I too thought the breakup made no sense and the political content was rushed, but they also pushed out the real tragedy of this story, which is Katie losing herself, in favor of nostalgia.
