it's so sunny and mild out today and seemingly no one in New York is up for a terrace drink at 5pm sharp, would have convinced at least four people to bunk off work early in London by now, a terrible city

Grumpy senior teacher (or similar) annoyed about their tax rate gonna be a feature of Question Time by end of decade
It used to be that only a small number of people paid higher rate tax – that is no longer the case. By 2027/28, the IFS has estimated 14% of adults will be in this tax band, which equates to about a quarter of all individual income taxpayers.
Very surprised to end up with this in a field amid some absolute bosses. Nowt without sources, lawyers and eds.

It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. ✌️ I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine…
