It always reminds me what a bloody awful durge we have for the English anthem. Welsh one is the best IMO.

Retired creative constituent here. Are you aware of this? Can anything be done to stop this disastrous move?
Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.
Stuck on two remaining clues so I’ll give the noggin a break and come back to them later.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.
Mine would be, among others:
Agatha Christie
Val McDermid
Kate Atkinson
Susan Hill
Maggie O’Farrell

I’ve just completed the quick crossword for the very first time! (Had to wait for OH to finish reading the paper) Shall spend the rest of the day in a delightful state of smugness…
And yes I have many barely started grids.
