Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Donald J. Trump. President of the United States. Classy as ever.

sure, no one is taking the piss out of you any more

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

My best 2025 Christmas gift, you ask? That would be my Lionel Richie Kitchen Multi-tool. It does everything, and has everything … (wait for it) … mince, dice, three tines, a ladle. I shall not be taking questions at this time.

Once more for the haters...

Excited to announce that my wife Karen has taken up the bagpipes

This is music for many seasons but one of them is definitely early December when it's pissing down outside. I hold this album in as high regard as Bryter Layter. I think it's a masterpiece and Ron Geesin's arrangements are as good as Robert Kirby's.

GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament

Wowsers, we're mighty excited about this!! We've only gone and made no. 5 in MOJO Magazine's Best of Folk 2025! Woohooooo! @lisaknappmusic.bsky.social @gerrydiver.bsky.social @concertedartists.bsky.social @mojomagazine.bsky.social

Tomorrow, another NIReissue! The making of The Beatles Anthology 1992-1995, featuring the most important moment of the documentary. #Beatles #Anthology #BeatlesAnthology

When @ericidle.bsky.social came over to host SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE in 1977, he brought Neil Innes over as his musical guest, and Neil reprised his RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION role of The Rutles' Ron Nasty, performing his Lennon pastiche "Cheese & Onions"...

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

If you're cheering Trump on then you have no right to call yourself a patriot. You absolute moron.

I implore you to read the alt text, and then repeat for the whole thread

Nothing to see here, just a GB News presenter suggesting the BBC bung Donald Trump a few million of license fee payers' money.

Peace, Love & Pop - Ringo Starr’s remarkable solo run, 1970-74 #Ringo #Beatles oldgodsmadenew.blogspot.com/2025/11/peac...

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum. It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh. news.sky.com/story/migran...

During lockdown the then Chancellor Sunak told people to leave creative jobs and get business back on its feet. I decided at that moment (different than any before it) to fly my freak flag high, to put aside a lifetime's aversion to the ISB and embrace them to my heart. It's going well.

My BFI Classic on The Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night is available to preorder now. Here’s the story behind it. I love the cover - inspired by the film poster and a key theme in the book: the power of television in transmitting the Beatles to the world. samiraahmed.blog/why-i-wrote-...

This is, indeed, extraordinary - and magnificent. @eggpod.bsky.social @stevenc63.bsky.social @quantick.bsky.social

At some point in the last week or two, without me noticing, Unsung Unsaid has quietly hit the 800 sales mark. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, everyone who bought it, everyone who promoted it or reposted on here with kind supportive words and everyone who left an Amazon review. ❤️❤️❤️

And just a couple of months ago, I found this version of Joni Mitchell doing Chelsea Morning in session for the BBC. By now, I didn’t need to check the credits, because I knew immediately it was Danny Thompson. He lifted everything he ever played on. RIP open.spotify.com/track/72CY4C...

Danny Thompson has died. His work with Pentangle, especially his work with John Martyn... Jazzy, fluid, honey-like, shoulder-rolling and other terms that I'm going to struggle for because I can't write about music for toffee. But anyway. He was amazing and glorious and what a legacy he's left us.

It’s a filthy day outside, so why not head to A CINEMA to watch the now-playing rockumentarequel, Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues? In fact, the running time is admirably short, so why not see it twice?

Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel and Leyton Orient FC, eh? Who knew? Go see the movie! Hope the club can maximise the tie-in. #spinaltap @leytonorientfc.bsky.social @leytonorientear.com

In an otherwise bleak news agenda, Martin Carthy's shortlisting for the Mercury Prize is a real - and much needed - ray of sunshine!

CAN YOU IMAGINE CALLING FOR SOMEONE TO BE ARRESTED FOR A TWEET?!?!

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business. It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk
