The Conservatives said Reeves was only left with seemingly "impossible choices" because she "chose to push borrowing and spending to the limit".

The coin dropped instantly back home in Punjab, which absorbed logo fashion like a sponge when luxury brands arrived in the 2000s. For Punjabis - who are largely a farming community - it was an aspirational uprising, symbolic of how success and prosperity should look."It symbolised the movement of the Punjabi identity from a farmer to a global consumer," says acclaimed singer Rabbi Shergill.

Arguing that performers, like everyone else, are a product of their times, Shergill says these impulses are "a response to the hyper capitalist world".Curiously, the style game of Punjabi musicians - from hip-hop, R&B, bhangra pop, fusion, Punjabi rap, reggae or filmy music - has also remained rooted and androgynous, instead of being hyper masculine.A pop star may wear Balenciaga or Indian designer Manish Malhotra's opulent creations; perform anywhere from Ludhiana city to London; dance with Beyonce around Dubai's Burj Khalifa, atop a luxury car, or in a British mansion - but they always wear their Punjabi identity on their sleeves.

Dosanjh underlined this clearly with his maharajah look at the Met Gala. "It's like the popularity of his androgynous style was waiting to happen," Pande says.The composite impact of this trend on emerging artists is unmissable today in Punjab.

Local Bhangra performances, for instance, are no longer limited to traditional "dhoti-kurta-koti" costume sets paired with juttis (ethnic footwear). Performance attire now includes sneakers, typographic T-shirts, deconstructed bottoms and even denims.

"Such items are highly sought after by customers," says Harinder Singh, owner of the brand 1469.Vape use has risen rapidly over the last decade with 9% of the British public now buying and using e-cigarettes.

Latest figures suggest about one in four vapers use the disposable versions, although that proportion has fallen since the ban was announced.And while it is illegal to sell vapes to anyone under 18, disposable vapes, often sold in smaller, more colourful packaging than refillable ones, have been cited as an important factor in the rise of youth vaping.

Currently one in seven 18 to 24-year-olds vape but have never smoked.Vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking but it has not been around for long enough for its long-term risks to be known, according to the NHS.
