It's here!

NEW ALBUM - LET THE MUSIC (TAKE CONTROL) - buy it here now thefarm.os.fan

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza by seeking to starve its population. Western leaders, including those in the UK, are saying nothing of consequence about this. Why not? Have they really chosen to walk on the other side in the face of this atrocity? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...

Our brand new single “Moment In Time” is out now and available to stream across all platforms🐑 thefarm.os.fan

Why don't economic commentators, like Martin Wolf at the FT, appear to know that if you want growth in the current stagnant UK economy, the best way to deliver it is by redistributing wealth? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

If only mothers ruled the world #HappyMothersDay

We should be shocked, humiliated and ashamed that 4.5 million children live in poverty in the UK and that Labour is planning to increase this number by conscious choice. Radical action is needed. No child deserves this. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

The government says it must balance its books and benefits cost too much, so they must be cut. Nothing could be further from the truth. youtu.be/rvTw4euk27E?...

Elon Musk says empathy is threatening civilisation. He’s wrong. He is that threat. What’s worse though is that his threat is totally consistent with neoliberal economics. youtu.be/eLPGzfBIrGI?...

Labour is going to pick on the vulnerable in its desire to balance its books. There is no need to do so. The wealthy get higher levels of state subsidies than the vulnerable. So why not cut the benefits of the wealthy instead? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

Many moons ago

RIP Rick - part of the soundtrack of our youth

US Vice President J D Vance attacked Europe yesterday. His charge was, in essence, that we are not as fascist as he would like. The political battle lines have been drawn. We have to now stand up and fight against the tyranny he and Trump are unleashing. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

When fans unite, they get results. This freeze shows our arguments – and those of fellow Supporters' Board members – were heard. Our work continues, as does the #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign with @thefsa.bsky.social Join SOS: spiritofshankly.com/membership/ Join The FSA: thefsa.org.uk/join/

It’s decision time for Starmer www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... Trump is imposing tariffs on UK steel. Starmer cannot pretend that is not happening. It's trade war with the UK. Is Starmer going to respond? Or will prevarication in the hope of getting a trade deal with a fascist prevail?

Musk ‘salutes’ his fans whilst parading Tesla’s through a 1930’s German town

Give a man a fish and he’ll shut up for 10 minutes while he eats it. Teach a man to fish and he’ll f*** off out of the house for 5 hours. Either way, it’s a win-win situation.

Labour needs an urgent re set, because it’s failing youtu.be/UHDrIECErgE?... Labour’s plan for government is based on some vague aspirations that are almost meaningless, and probably undeliverable. So, what should it do?

Scotland’s finest: Denis Law never forgot his country and it always revered him

Representatives of 🆘, SpionKop1906, LFCWSC, cultuRED and the OLSC network have written to Liverpool FC ahead of discussions around ticket pricing. #LFC #StopExploitingLoyalty

Reform wants to destroy government and the economy as we know it www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Reform revealed their economic thinking to the House of Commons last week. It is an exercise in economic insanity.

Brilliant to see the price of football and the #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign discussed at length on @wearetheoverlap.bsky.social with our committee member @robbohuyton.bsky.social joining the debate. youtu.be/2Slep7QNKE8?...

The Musk/Farage divorce is getting very messy. They’re arguing over who gets custody of Lee Anderson. Musk wants Farage to take him and Farage wants Musk to take him. ✌️

Since 2004, they have toured frequently &, taking new ideas - as the blueprint for a potential new album, a refreshed sense of creativity emerged. Sessions with producer, Mike Cave (The Charlatans, Bloc Party) captured that fresh energy @classicpop.bsky.social www.classicpopmag.com/2024/11/the-...
