A musical jazzy Christmas is coming to The Waverley in #Chippenham on Wednesday 17th December at 7.30pm. We will be listening to Ella Fitzgerald's classic 1960 Christmas album on #vinyl, PLUS we will have FREE live music from the Rob Brian jazz trio accompanying vocalist Karolina Griskute.

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

Huge disappointment when I saw it on release week. I understand Coppola has recently done a re-cut which is some improvement

Just a reminder to all non-US retailers. If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving there is no such thing as Black Friday or Cyber Monday - just reduced the price anyway!!

You just cannot take the iPaper seriously when it wheels out Kwasi ‘mini budget’ Kwarteng to comment on the budget. We don’t *ever* want to hear from this arrogant clown again. “No prudence” FML.

#BrightFriday #PaintItLocal #Evvnt Wednesday 17th December from 7.30pm Free live music at The Waverley, Chippenham

RIP Mani

After another week of banging on about immigration, Keir Starmer's ratings fall to their lowest ever level. At what point do Labour strategists start to think that maybe this isn't quite the winning strategy they believed?

Last night at The Waverley #livemusic #craftale #fundraiser

Tonight at The Waverley in Chippenham - FREE live band LUNDA! share.google/mtddGRRSe8Vd...

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

Someone they REALLY ought to listen to www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

Not really surprising except how long its taken this to gain traction. He can't keep brushing this off. www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Politico: "The vote for Brexit inflicted a GDP blow of between 6 percent and 8 percent in the decade following the referendum — even worse than predicted beforehand, according to U.S. think tank the National Bureau of Economic Research" Don't imagine this will end up on many Faragist front pages...

Nitin Sawhney 'OneZero' 2013 direct cut vinyl boxset

Next week alongside music from LUNDA! at the Waverley Album Listening Event fundraiser for Dorothy House Hospice we will also listen to funk queen Betty Davis. "...something like Madonna; something like Prince, only as a woman. She was the beginning of all that...She was just ahead of her time."

That's Daniel Hanna born in Peru...😉

Chippenham people come to The Waverley next Wednesday 19th November at 7.30pm for free live music from Bristol's LUNDA!

Labour timidity in defending the BBC is a great shame, but explicable. To defend them here you have to point out that notwithstanding the unfortunate edit Trump *did* incite the riots, having falsely claimed the election was fraudulent, and later lauding and pardoning the rioters.

Nigel Farage, who has appeared on BBC Question Time 38 times, says the BBC has been insitutionally biased for decades. He may have a point.

Trying so hard to be Lord Haw-Haw isn't he.

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

Worth reading in full by someone who knew the inside workings

Although its clear that the editing inaccurately points to a conclusion that Trump disputes, the USA House of Representatives report from Dec 2022 stated that former President Donald Trump was responsible for what happened on Jan. 6. I hope he sues and loses www.theguardian.com/media/live/2...

Remember when the BBC reversed the sequence of events at Orgreave to show miners throwing things at the police horses, when in fact they were responding to being subjected to a mounted horse charge? Who resigned then??

Monday

Oldest victim of Post Office scandal, 92, receives final compensation payout. At last. But ruined lives can't be restored. £1.2bn paid to 9,100 victims from public purse. Not a penny from PO execs, Fujitsu, lawyers, accountants, advisers who benefited from persecution of the victims.

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments

He needs to rip it up and start again😉

Herbie Hancock on Instagram about Jack DeJohnette "I first met Jack when he was about 20. I brought him on as a bass player, not realizing he was usually hired as a drummer, but I already had a drummer. 😉 I learned in time that what Jack really wanted was to be a piano player"

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

As Robert Jenrick accuses David Lammy of having a "chequered past", here's a quick reminder of Jenrick's

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.
