Introduce yourself with 10 bands you have seen live The Beat The Specials Elvis Costello and the Attractions Ian Dury and the Blockheads Eurythmics The WHO Blur Van Morrison Pentangle Jethro Tull

Tina Turner put one hell of a caveat in Simply the Best, pivoting from all the rest to everyone I've ever met which would be a considerably smaller number of people. I hope someone raised it with her.

I'm finding it difficult to believe this is happening. It's like a bad dream.

“Freedom is not a state; it is an act.....Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." John Lewis SCOTUS has effectively gutted key protections of the Voting Rights Act. They have hurt so many people.

An entire article on Pep’s departure without once mentioning City’s 115 charges of corruption and their potential relegation. Bizarre journalism. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This is such a blatant abuse of economics/data I will assign it in my Data Analysis course next term..

This really ought to be a serious problem for Farage. Practically everyone else in Britain is worse off due to Brexit, including the voters he claims to represent. Not him though; he has mysterious billionaires giving him £5m Not to mention he’s now changed his story

Important data from @persuasionuk.bsky.social showing how Labour's vote fragmented in the England local elections last week. Of those who voted Labour in 2024: 🟦5% voted Reform 🟨10% voted Lib Dem 🟩22% voted Green persuasionuk.org/research/may...

One of my favorites...... Pretty timely 😀

i just dont get why the billionaires want us all to be poor- surely its better for everyone if we have money to spend on the random shite they keep advertising to us?

Badenoch again threatens to leave the ECHR, which would rip up the Good Friday Agreement, not to mention the Brexit deal (meaning immediate no deal with our largest market) and leave us all extremely vulnerable to authoritarian abuse of our rights. She and Farage want to make us poorer & less safe

🙄

True.

Press takes:- 2024 - Labour win a landslide victory with 34% of the vote Press - Illegitimate, no-one wants Starmer, this is not a mandate 2026 - Farage wins the most council seats with 26% of the vote Press - The people have spoken, Nigel is Godlike, make him PM tomorrow, Starmer must resign

Stop calling reform a new party. It was ukip. It was the brexit party. It is now reform. It isn't a new party it's a new logo. It embarrassing to pretend anything else. Foreign funded Farage has been the puppet for foreign billionaires in British politics for decades.
