I think this is a mature take. Spotify should be more heavily regulated ultimately. Without some controls then their service is inevitable. If it wasn’t Spotify it would be something else doing the same thing.

Likewise with touring, breaking up ticketmaster and livenation would be a great start, but then you still have the cost of running a venue which is harder in the current economic climate. Ultimately local governments should be subsidising venues to ensure that artists have viable spaces to perform.

Leaving it up to the market results in the situation you have now where people think it’s logical to pay 1000s for a Taylor Swift ticket, an insane exercise of pure greed.

Jolyon Palmer described him as a career killer on the official f1 podcast. Basically underrated and therefore out performs in the crap teams he is in. IF Audi get their 26 design right, that podium should finally come!

Boycott them purely for how they treat their staff. Fuck em

I just don’t feel like this is the time. Tories out is the only measurable positive outcome that can be achieved at the next election. So I would advocate to vote for whatever is the most likely to help with that.

One the Tories are gone, the next target simply has to be proportional representation otherwise they will be back in 10 years or so. And the only way to achieve THAT is to organise!
