I walked through central London last night and realised something that made me genuinely sad: The city I once loved—vibrant, safe, recognisably English—is gone. Here’s what I saw 👇
Wondering how Israel keeps doing well in #Eurovision? It’s because they’re pouring millions into ads encouraging non-viewers to vote. Here’s a piece I wrote for Private Eye on last year’s very similar debacle.
