September 4th will be the very last gig of Alan Reed and The Daughters of Expediency. I don’t know beyond the next 6 months how I’m going to be, so I’d rather go out on a high. Planning gigs is no way to do it. It’s genuinely the last chance to wish me a happy retirement.

Donald Trump say his critics suffer from 'Trump derangement syndrome' - but after this week's events, is that call now coming from inside the house? "The simple question is whether Trump himself is deranged," says Lewis Goodall www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/is-i...

Now more than ever ITV needs to make ITVX actually work

Having illustrated the problem of X ignoring its legal duties, I want to build an effective coalition for intervention. If you are or know people on X receiving racist abuse, rape threats, I would welcome receipts of one rejected attempt to report to the platform an indefensible case
