cacophony

First, the Palace wanted to stop the cacophony of terrible headlines about Andrew that kept drowning out the rest of the Royal Family's work.

And the cacophony inside also started hours before the start and, when the action began, every Liverpool touch was greeted with deafening, piercing whistles.

What they're greeted by instead are crowds, traffic and the cacophony of construction, which has ramped up alongside a post-pandemic boom in tourism.

It's a far cry from the noise and cacophony of central London's streets last Saturday where police estimate between 110,000 and 150,000 people gathered to protest.

A cacophony of Labour voices now, via an official party process, are offering their views in public about whether the government is any good or not.
