When my aunt felt unable to cope alone, she sold her house and moved happily into a small hotel for he final years. She was lucky to have her health. Andy Burnham spoke a lot of sense yesterday, care costs should come from a central fund, but should the taxpayer fund a second residence for anyone?

Wednesday cover from the enigmatic Lúc. His stripped back, folky versions first appeared in 2020, with 4 subsequent independent albums, and that is all we know. Original by Australian Gotye in 2011 was, so far, a one hit wonder. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/0Bb9oR...
