After decades of chaos, what Andy Burnham and campaigners have achieved could be a blueprint for the rest of the UKCat Hobbs is the founder of We Own It, which campaigns for public ownership of public servicesAfter nearly 40 years of Thatcherite deregulation and privatisation, the buses in Manchester are back under public control. On Sunday, 50 Bee Network electric buses will take their first journey across Bolton, Wigan and parts of Salford and Bury, with the full rollout across Greater Manchester scheduled to be complete by January 2025.Andy Burnham, the mayor of Manchester, should be proud. He faced down his critics, and stood firm against the immense pressure of the private bus operators who challenged his decision but failed to overturn it in the courts. The role of local campaigners Better Buses for Greater Manchester in this result must also be recognised; they clearly made the case for why public control would improve services and put pressure on Burnham to go through with his campaign promise. Thanks to them, the chaos of bus deregulation in the city will finally come to an end.Cat Hobbs is the founder of We Own It, an organisation that campaigns for public ownership of public services Continue reading...

It’s rich, witty and looks exquisite. This vibrant, lively, 70s-set series about a sex mag is huge amounts of fun – and deserves a gigantic fanbaseWhen Minx was shooting the finale of this second season, it received the news that its then home in the US, HBO Max, was going back on its renewal and was dropping the show. It looked as if this vibrant and lively 70s-set sex-mag comedy, which never quite seems to have found the audience that it deserves, was dead in the water. But another US network, Starz, threw it a lifeline, and here it is, thrusting its “queen of dicks” Joyce Prigger back into the spotlight.By 1973, Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) has turned a pornographic publisher’s pet project into the bestselling new women’s magazine in the US, with a two-year waiting list for advertisers to tout their wares in its pages. As season one ended with publisher Doug (Jake Johnson) handing ownership of the magazine to Joyce, the first job at hand is to get the old band back together. Though they can barely make it through a minute without bickering, Doug and Joyce work best when they’re a duo, provoking each other and being annoyed at each other’s shortcomings. One of the show’s many clever decisions is to make Joyce a bit of a prude, still tied up in the academia of her feminist studies at university, even if she’s having to highlight the witticisms of famous women by slotting them into a calendar full of nude men. (“It pulls focus from the schlongs!” argues Doug.)Minx season two is on Paramount+ Continue reading...

Crushed-up chocolate sandwich biscuits provide the foundations for what might just be the ultimate creamy fridge cakeBourbon biscuits provide a really good foundation when crushed and layered in a dessert. One of the great parts of preparing a chocolate mud pie is its adaptability to suit the dish at your disposal: you can make it in a round pie dish or large deep bowl; I even tried this in a rectangular pie dish and it worked well. I particularly like this dessert for gatherings, where it can be casually placed on the table and generously served with a large spoon. It requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavour. Don’t hesitate to generously season with salt – it works! Continue reading...
