Dear Cheapskater,

So… we have a new government! And we were heartened to see in last week’s poll just how many readers were planning to vote in the election (far more than the national turnout of around 60%). Here’s what you said:

Are you planning on voting this Thursday?

What are your thoughts on the result - and how do you think the new Labour government will impact your day-to-day life? Please share any thoughts here (and let us know if you’re happy for us to anonymously republish your reflections in an upcoming edition of Cheapskate).

This week, we’ve partnered with the Southbank Centre, which is hosting a special weekender in partnership with AZEEMA - a print and digital magazine, creative agency and community celebrating women and non-binary folk. From Friday July 26 until Sunday July 28, everyone’s invited to take part in a celebration of culture and unity through music, conversation, performances and workshops. Find out more here!

Have a fabulous week,
Kate and Georgia x
