Okay, that's fine, that's fine. I also didn't get tickets, not because I wouldn't enjoy it. Who doesn't love singing their heart out? And, you know, I'm of the age where I do appreciate the Britpop. But I just had this moment where I was like, I'm going to leave this for the real fans. And there are plenty of them.

Tickets sold through Ticketmaster were subject to what's known as dynamic pricing, where as demand for tickets goes up, the price rises. Ticketmasters say dynamic prices keeps the price in line with what scalpers might be selling them for, with an aim to keep the money with the artist and also with Ticketmaster, and is allowed under consumer protection law.

Nonetheless, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has ordered a probe into ticket surge pricing, saying we will include issues around the transparency and use of dynamic pricing, including the technology around queuing systems, which incentivize it in our forthcoming consultation on consumer protections for ticket resales, which I guess is her way of saying I will look back in anger and I will not roll with it.

Yeah. Did you get that?

Okay, well, let's talk about Keir Starmer's theme song of the summer. He's not an Oasis fan. He's not living his brat girl summer. I can't imagine Keir Starmer listening to music. No. I think he just sits in silence. Our producers have written a joke here that I don't understand, but I'm going to read it. He's much more of a paramour, misery business kind of guy. Yeah, do you get that?

I get that one, yeah.

Yeah, he's got... Sad, sombre expression. He genuinely looks like he's at a funeral. Part of me was thinking, who died? Was it Larry the cat? Who died? But he's actually just telling us that everything's going to be a lot worse. So what's the logic of making that announcement?

But speaking of very unpopular policies, one of the groups most likely to feel the pinch that Starmer is trailing here are pensioners. Before parliamentary recess, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the government's decision to restrict winter fuel payments of up to £300 to only those receiving pension credit. So the government has been on the defensive over their decision.
