Donald Trump is considering cancelling a planned series of summer concerts in Washington DC and replacing them with a political-style rally. The shows were intended to mark the country’s two-hundred-and-fifty-year anniversary as part of The Great American State Fair. However, several high-profile artists, including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, and the Commodores, have withdrawn from the event. The celebrations are being organised by the Freedom 250 group, a non-partisan organisation launched […]
Few film characters are as iconic as James Bond. For more than 60 years, 007 has survived changing trends, changing audiences, changing villains and increasingly unrealistic gadgets to remain one of Britain’s biggest cinematic exports. Fast cars. Sharp suits. Ridiculous stunts. Classic one-liners. And somehow always finding time to order a drink properly during international chaos. But every generation has its Bond. Some fans prefer the suave sophistication. Others love […]

And honestly? They still sound brilliant. Here are […]

The sixty-one-year-old used party funds to bankroll a lavish lifestyle, purchasing luxury items including a fountain pen, coffee machine and […]
Everyone says they’ve got “great taste in music”. Very curated playlists. Very cool artist selections. Very serious opinions about obscure B-sides from 1994. But then something happens at a wedding, in a taxi, or late at night on the radio… and suddenly all that credibility disappears the moment a certain song comes on. Because no matter how much we deny it, we all have guilty pleasure tracks. The songs we […]
The United States has dismissed reports from Iran regarding a potential draft deal as a complete fabrication. Iranian state television had claimed it obtained a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding with the United States. Under these reported terms, Iran would restore commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month, while the US would withdraw military forces and lift its […]
