He's the outlier in that community, most people his age wouldn't even know where to start with running their own business, unless it was some online hustle posing as a business.

Vape shops but no jobs: one young manโ€™s search for work in Grimsby

The Lincolnshire seaside town is often written off by YouTubers as a place defined by deprivation and decline. But for many young people it's a place they love and are proud to call home, even though high unemployment limits their opportunities. As part of the year-long Against the tide project reporting on the lives of young people in coastal communities across England and Wales, the Guardian follows 19-year old Cohen, who is desperate to find a permanent job while running a mascot hire company and chasing his dream of becoming a professional wrestler

Just written to my MP on the extremely urgent subject of electoral reform. The two-party system is dead and FPTP is not fit for purpose. If Labour doesn't bring in PR now, it is putting the country at genuine risk in the next election.

Perhaps if the carers could all drive their tractors into Westminster a few times, they might get a deal out of this government.

Car was at the garage a few weeks ago so I had to take the bus. Used to have 2 bus routes there, now only 1 so it takes a long time and goes on a magical mystery tour.

Went through a very pretty village - all stone houses, cobbled streets, tables outside the cafes, benches in the sun at the pub.

Dismayed to see a St George's cross flag hanging at half-mast right opposite the village war memorial with the Union Jack on the flagpole.

"Please, give us time..."

Yet it could take a month or two for the UK to deprive every Trans Person of basic rights, funny how some get a largesse of a decade while others get a few months...

Wait a moment: Britcard?

The latest IT dream to tackle small boat crossings? For all "Brits"? For which parts of the British Isles precisely?

Waiting for the people who went on the 'Unite The Kingdom' march to denounce the violence that occurred in their name on Saturday.
Could they denounce the guy who called for Keir Starmer's assassination, seeing as they're crying about 'Political Violence' now?

When I see some of that, I might reconsider that everyone in that march is Fash and is coming for my Family.

Not going to happen though, is it?
