This week’s action-packed issue of The London Standard is out — the paper dedicated to you, Londoners, and everything you’re talking and thinking about now.
We take a look at how Donald Trump is harnessing crypto and ask whether digital currencies could be the answer to our growth problems too.
Our big music interview is with Myles Smith, the mega-streaming smash-hit artist and this year’s Brit Rising Star Award winner. He talks movingly about the miracle of his success and his fears for young musicians in London trying to break through now.
Elsewhere, we investigate the crisis at London galleries, and explore how a woke agenda has driven audiences away. Could putting on shows that people actually want to see be the answer?
In business, we ask if the last millionaire in London could please turn out the lights, while in sport we explore Spurs’ nightmare and pitch Maro Itoje as the answer to all England’s rugby problems.
And this week’s London Question is a personal bugbear of mine — whatever happened to Tube etiquette?
I hope you enjoy! As ever, let me know what you think of the issue @annavanpraagh
The London Standard is available for free pick-up across the city from Thursday to Monday or you can read the digital edition online.
