UK budget plan aims to shift power from Westminster to local postcodes
A recent UK budget proposal calls for moving financial authority and resources out of Westminster and distributing them to every postcode across Britain, aiming to decentralise fiscal power.
In Singapore, celebrated artist Lim Tze Peng, now 103, continues to create art daily, having produced over ten thousand works and receiving multiple national honours, including the National Day Medal (1963, 1981, 2016) and the Cultural Medallion (2003). He hopes to establish a personal museum to donate his collection to the nation.
An essay on historic sites of social change highlights locations such as the Smolny Institute in St. Petersburg, where Lenin and the Bolsheviks planned the October Revolution, and the Tunisian government palace where Mohamed Bouazizi self‑immolated, igniting the Jasmine Revolution and the wider Arab Spring.
