@brynhgriffiths.bsky.social interviews Mark Perryman on his Labour Left Podcast: youtu.be/qb50qcMmcow?.... Great wide-ranging interview, on how politics is best when it's fun, the internal culture of the current Labour Party & (for me) a very moving Class Hero nomination for the late Mike Marqusee.

Keir Starmer the football fan really should know better labourhub.org.uk/2025/10/17/k...

"Below the tyrant the captive figure of Justice lies bound, while the figures of Cruelty, Deceit, Fraud, Fury, Division, and War flank him, and above him float the figures of Avarice, Pride, and Vainglory." (The Allegory of Bad Government in Siena, Italy) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_All...

Very moved by this appreciation of Mike Marqusee by Daniel Finn in Jacobin. A deep understanding of Mike's work, politics and cultural life. jacobin.com/2025/01/mike...
