Lovely rehearsal last night with two young soloists from Enfield Music Service. The Flute and Harp concerto is all about teamwork, and they had it in spades. Saturday will be fun.

Not sure I've posted this one yet for #HillfortsWednesday. Feel free to hurl digital tomatoes and cabbages if a) youve already seen it here and I am repeating myself or b) you haven't seen it before and that's just how you liked things. youtu.be/SJxOrNroapY?...

Ooops! Forgot to buy the onions. Making beef bourguignon for tonight; is it OK to substitute a jar of pickled onions if you cook them long enough? 🤫

Why Labour? What's wrong with regulations? What's wrong with safeguards? Siding "downstream" of the US? Is it the MONEY talking again? #Labour - you do disappoint time and time again. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Can Brexiters who still remain loyal to the Brexit cause be considered the Colin Clumps, Peter Pisspiddle and Gandpa Gapheads AND his goat referred to by Henry VIII in #wolfhall? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYWG...

HMRC hasn't prosecuted anyone for enabling tax evasion in 5 years. But it fined 95,000 people who dodged nothing, £100 each because their returns were slightly late. HMRC, pinching the pennies, ignoring the stolen Pounds.

JD Vance says "Trump will take Greenland because he doesn't care if the Europeans scream at us." If you still don't see that Trump is a Nazi, you have brain damage.

Hi, BlueSky! My name is Bayly Hoehne. I’m 17 years old and the Chief of Staff at @votersoftomorrow.org I’m working to make sure my friends and peers are registered to vote and ready to stand up to Donald Trump. Can you repost and follow to help me reach others?

"batshit crazy" - #Labour do you have to resort to Trump/Farage like expressions to get a point across? Be better than this.

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has called Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde “nasty” and demand she apologize for her sermon yesterday at the National Cathedral that called for justice for the poor and marginalized. REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Donald Trump’s hatred!

Whoever dubbed this new US administration, the "Nerd Reich" was frankly a genius.

"Your sacred cities are made a wasteland ... Jerusalem a desolation". As the world's flagship democracy prepares to kneel before Donald Trump, here's some music by William Byrd: a composer who knew what it was to see the things in which he most believed laid waste. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWAy...

I used to admire this guy but he's a bit of a dinosaur now though. How is he defining productivity - we're not all hammering rivets into a hole you know? Hmmm progressive Conservative peer... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Too many UK MPs take second jobs, serve corporations, get rich. Claim it helps to serve people. Oh ... Hardly any volunteer to work for charities, hospices, food banks, housing associations ... there is no money in it. Must ban second jobs for MPs. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/mps-...

Truth & Lies. Mix Musk's interventions with Starmer's unpopularity, is it possible to separate the truth from the lies? (Strong language and adult themes.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R19...

Tactfully changed from a "yellow snow warning" as it was previously. 🤢 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

A reminder that there are FOURTEEN TIMES more Lib Dem MPs in Parliament than there are Reform MPs. Three times as many independents. And nearly as many Greens. We should not be paying so much attention to them.

This disgusting Tory position literally reads like a BNP leaflet

Farage’s refusal to condemn Musk’s outrageous statements shows total unfitness for public office. But @bbclaurak.bsky.social fails to hold him to account & allows whole interview to be on his terms. No focus on Reform’s divisive policies & no effective challenge to his dangerous insinuations
