What if you could get tipsy drinking a pint without consuming a drop of alcohol?
Even if some reports are sensationalist drivel put out by the anti-drinking lobby, people in Britain are boozing less. Gen Z in particular is choosing to go booze-free, or opting for low-alcohol options to maintain a level of sobriety once only consigned to children. No hangovers make for an easier life.

First Night This ludicrous, bawdy trash fest isn’t the pile-up that was expected
Brimming with powerhouse vocals, tawdry razzmatazz and in-jokey sentiment, this musical — extrapolated by Steven Antin from his silly 2010 film in which Christina Aguilera's small-town Ali becomes a star in the neo-burlesque club run by Cher’s imperious Tess — is also kind of fun.

Nightclubs are the capital's creative heartbeat-we can't let them go extinct
I'm returning to music with a mission: to save London's nightlife. I still remember it like it was last weekend. It was around 2011, in a sweaty Cargo in Shoreditch. I was watching a crowd go crazy to a DJ set that cost less than a round of shots. No guest list. No section. Just pure energy.

If people aren't allowed to speak their minds, how can we hope to change them?
When the vice-president of the United States took Sir Keir Starmer to task earlier this year for failing to uphold free speech, the Prime Minister was quick to hit back. “In relation to free speech in the UK, I'm very proud of our history there,” he said. “We've had free speech for a very long time, it will last a long time, and we are very proud of that.”
