£25 charge every time this landlord has to respond to her tenant complaining about mould.

You couldn't make it up.

British travellers in Thailand are getting into kratom, a naturally occurring opioid which was legalised there in 2021. It's being brewed into brightly-coloured so-called 'potions' and promoted over TikTok. Read my report in THE FACE...

Some reporting from me this weekend The Times and The Sunday Times 🧵

The synthetic opioid cat is out of the bag (and won't be going back in)

There is *no enforcement solution*

We need an emergency public heath/ harm reduction response NOW if we want to avoid a N.American style drug death catastrophe bbc.co.uk/news/uk-687123…

Gutted to hear Wire in #Leeds is closing. When will UK Prime Minister start taking the collapse of #nightlife and #hospitality seriously?

(Answer - not under this regime). Shame on you.

18 years of musical heritage, *almost* as long as I’ve been on dancefloors, lost. For what?

Why do all ITV dramas feel like Corrie?
