WALKOUTS AN ACT OF SELF-HARM, SAYS PM
BORIS JOHNSON issued an 11th-hour plea today to rail unions to call off strikes this week as millions of commuters were warned to prepare for crippling disruption on the train and Tube network.
The Prime Minister told rail workers that if they went ahead with the walk-outs they would be committing an "act of self-harm" as the industry had to modernise given that fewer people are using trains as the Covid crisis has led to a shift to more working from home. He also stressed that the industrial action would stifle London from "unleashing its full potential" as it seeks to recover from the pandemic.
Speaking to the Standard this morning, Mr Johnson said: "It is our first full summer in two years where we face no restrictions to our way of life. Here in London, I want to see the capital's businesses thriving, theatres full and pubs and restaurants bustling. I want the city to unleash its full potential.

Album review: The same Harry Styles, only better. Techno, very occasionally
Harry Styles is not a risk-taker. While much is made of his androgynous style (the first man to wear a skirt on the cover of Vogue!) or mammoth stadium tours (30 nights at Madison Square Garden!), the biggest risk Styles has ever taken was in 2016, when he and his One Direction bandmates decided to go on indefinite hiatus, prompting the start of their solo careers.
