MPs urged to push for โradical reformโ after NAO finds former prince made income from Royal Lodge properties Campaigners have called for radical reform and a public inquiry into โall royal financesโ after revelations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor received an undisclosed private income from subletting three cottages on his Royal Lodge estate while paying a โpeppercorn rentโ. A report from the public spending watchdog, the National Audit Office (NAO), found the rental income went to the former Duke of York, but said: โWe do not know what rent was charged.โ Continue reading...
When Marc Payoyo was roused early from his slumbers, it was not the sultry night that had disturbed his sleep but the worried-sounding voices outside his open window.
King footing bill for Beatrice and Eugenie, and Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh subletting among findings A report that revealed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor received undisclosed private income from subletting three cottages on his Royal Lodge estate in Windsor while paying a peppercorn rent to the crown estate also shines a spotlight on the property arrangements of other members of the royal family. The National Audit Office findings include the revelation that King Charles foots the bill for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenieโs accommodation in royal palaces, despite both being โnon-working royalsโ (in that they donโt carry out royal duties), and that the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh also benefited from subletting their crown estate property.

John Hansard Gallery, Southampton Farewell Sweet Innocence references cinema, football, music and Windrush โ itโs about trying to fit in, but always falling short, even as a Turner-nominated artist Thereโs that old Marxist (Groucho, not Karl) saying about refusing to join any club that would have you as a member. Simeon Barclay takes that idea one step further in his work, because he knows that even if the club would have him, heโd never be truly accepted anyway. He calls his show in Southampton โa lament of sorts, to access and lossโ. It comes just a few weeks after he got nominated for the Turner prize, and itโs a damn fine argument for why he should probably win it. This is an exhibition all about exclusion, about trying to fit in but never quite managing. Itโs razor-sharp, funny, pop-cultural, obtuse conceptual art about growing up black in Britain, about trying to make it and knowing youโre bound to fail, because the system is geared towards failure.

More than 1 million people advised to evacuate homes amid 80mph winds and heavy rain Typhoon Jangmi (also known as Typhoon No 6) moved northwards over the course of this week. From Okinawa to mainland Japan, prolonged and heavy rainfall led to landslide warnings and the flooding of rivers, with Japan issuing level 4 warnings for some rivers, signalling a risk of overflowing. This level is high enough for municipalities to issue evacuation orders. Three-hourly rainfall totals on Wednesday reached 105mm in Chiyoda, Tokyo, which was a record high for the month. Sustained wind speeds of 80mph (130kph) were recorded on Monday โ making it a category 1 typhoon โ bringing damage and disruption to businesses, transport, infrastructure and the environment. By Wednesday, 23 people had been injured, 17 of whom were in Okinawa. The typhoon damaged 57 homes and led to 60,000 homes losing electricity. In addition to this, 1.52 million people were advised to evacuate by authorities. The typhoon damaged the exterior wall of Himeji Castle, a Unesco world heritage site in western Japan. The maximum recorded wind speed at Himeji was 56mph, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. The typhoon has now weakened into a tropical depression and has moved eastwards, away from the islands. Continue reading...

Margaret Hodge concerned over use of taxpayersโ money after revelations about former princeโs subletting UK politics live โ latest updates A former chair of an influential parliamentary committee said it was โshockingโ that the public spending watchdog had not established Andrew Mountbatten-Windsorโs income from subletting properties.

(Felt) From birdsong to pool balls, this Lithuanian musician โ a graduate of Copenhagenโs buzzy Rhythmic Music Conservatory โ mixes beguiling found sounds into left-field pop and modern classical Copenhagenโs Rhythmic Music Conservatory has become associated with a specific gauzy, esoteric sound, which draws on, and reshapes, classical instrumentation and pop songwriting. Think ML Buch, Astrid Sonne and Erika de Casier, all of whom have graduated from the institution since 2019. Following in their footsteps is Lithuanian musician Gintฤ Preisaitฤ, who works with piano, voice and electronics to create atmospheric, unsettling ambient compositions. Instruments of Forgetting and the Singing Bone, Preisaitฤโs first solo release under her own name, draws on her background in improvisational techniques and composing for large ensembles. With additional instrumentation from a cluster of collaborators โ strings, woodwind, tape โ she presents eight tracks that build in intensity through her collage-like assembling of strange sounds and effects.
