By Jack Peat (@JackNPeat) Explosions In The Sky Support: We Were Promised Jetpacks Royal Albert Hall 25.4.16 I feel I should start with a disclaimer. I'm not a music writer, nor am I a particularly big gig-goer, but there are certain concerts that compel even the most lukewarm music fan to pen their thoughts after. Explosions In The Sky at the Royal Albert Hall is one such concert. That noise, in that venue. You didn't have to be John Peel to know that...

Venezuela's Vice-President Aristobulo Isturiz has announced that the country's two million state employees will only work Mondays and Tuesdays until the energy crisis that has crippled the country is over. The announcement follows news that the country is to put the clocks forward by half an hour to reduce demand for electricity in the early evening. The government has also told shopping centres to reduce their opening hours and generate their own energy Isturiz spoke on national television, saying: "We are requesting...

On Monday Labour MP Dennis Skinner told Jeremy Hunt to 'wipe that smirk of his face' and 'start negotiating now and sort the matter out', referring to the impending doctor's strike. The junior doctor's strike took place yesterday and is due to take place again today.

Prose by John S. Locke Justice was seen to be done today and a victory for working class people everywhere was seen to happen. Today was a victory for working class people against an establishment fully prepared to lie and damage the reputation of normal people to protect itself. A day when working class people beat establishment corruption and truth finally won. A very important day in history for a working class people, truth and justice in our country. Fought in...

By Alex Lodge (@alexlodgemusic | Insta @alexlodgemusic7) Alex Lodge is a music supervisor for film, TV and advertising at Thirty Two.  I’ve basically been listening to this Kate Tempest song on loop for the last week. I love what she does, how she articulates her vision and most of all what she represents in the music industry. She’s not trying to be anything she’s not and she’s found a home on Ninja where she’s not going to be manipulated into...

Unwary British holidaymakers are falling foul of Spain’s one year time limit for injury claim compensation.  The country’s one year limit sits in stark contrast to other parts of Europe, such as France, where some claims can be filed up to 10 years after an accident. The latest figures provided by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) show that over 60 British tourists are hospitalised abroad each week, with 20% of these occurring in Spain.  These figures also show that...

By Esin Huseyin (@Esin_Huseyin) It’s not often that I can thank social media for introducing me to new artists and albums, but I was introduced to Norwegian singer Aurora Aksnes, or AURORA, via a Snapchat story. Many will know AURORA and her music through the eagerly anticipated, and well received, John Lewis Christmas advert last year. But, listening to the 19-year-old’s latest album All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend, was actually the first time I truly had the...

A two-year inquest into the Hillsborough disaster has 'totally vindicated' families of those killed in the incident, ruling that the 96 people were unlawfully killed. In what has been described by Labour MP Andy Burnham as the "greatest miscarriage of justice of our times", justice for supporters and families who suffered on that fateful day has finally been delivered. The inquest ruled that Hillsborough had no accurate way of assessing fan numbers in the pens and that the stadium had inherent design...

Labour's Heidi Alexander hit out at a smug albeit sheepish looking Jeremy Hunt regarding his "kamikaze approach" to the junior doctors' strike. Alexander accused Hunt of being solely to blame for the loss of morale in the NHS and the potential exodus of staff to the Southern Hemisphere.
