Morrissey at the Co-op Live next. I do hope that his politics won't be the polar opposite of the inspiring and brave anti-authoritarianism speeches of Springsteen's opening night. Much as I love his work, both solo and of course in The Smiths, I hope he keeps his worst impulses to himself. #MusicSky

I am a bit gutted though that his record company have removed my video of this moment from my YouTube channel as a result and given me a strike.

He has immortalised this amazing moment by releasing it as a single with an official video. Opening song from my favourite concert ever - and I was right at the front. Sadly can't see myself in the video. Then again I'm no Courtney Cox. #MusicSky #Springsteen www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2-y...

She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. Yaqeen wrote: “I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war.”

This little girl, giving tips on how to survive in a "warzone" on her Instagram, has just been killed by the Israelis. If quantities of dead (60,000+) don't affect your attitude, then maybe one beautiful child's death might. #Gaza #Warcrime #Israel www.instagram.com/reel/DKHkNZc...

Guardian Today: How on earth do we continue to tolerate this barbarity! There should be Nuremberg-like trails for all of the war criminals in the Israeli government. #Gaza www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Reform UK poses an existential threat to the Scottish Parliament and the Senedd - and the only guarantee against it is independence, according to Nicola Sturgeon ✍️ Martin Shipton

I believe in science

Thank you everyone who has already signed the petition to Keir Starmer. Its already almost at 1,000. Lets get it there this morning. It only takes a moment🙏 win.newmode.net/bigissue/ask...

Why are the words of a war criminal significant? A man who is responsible for the murder of more than 60,000 people (including at least 20,000 children) and who is now starving a whole besieged population to death. Step up the criticism from Britain and Europe please. It is long, long overdue. #Gaza

Are you feeling emotional? Here is a Spotify playlist I compiled for just such an occasion in order to let the tears flow. Beautiful, heart-wrenching songs. #MusicSky open.spotify.com/playlist/5dD...

God this is nerve-wracking #europaleague #MUFC

Is there a greater crime against humanity in the modern world than this? youtu.be/HMq0r1gEakM?... #Israel #Gaza

Here is my YouTube playlist of all the videos I made of Springsteen's opening night in Manchester in one convenient place (for anyone that's interested). #MusicSky youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Absolutely.

I think this may be the last one from Springsteen's opening night in Manchester. Sorry it's spoilt by a) missing the first part of Promised Land and b) filming my ugly mug during Hungry Heart. It's dark at the end but, believe me, tears were streaming down my face. #MusicSky youtu.be/3KlOYqXQ2xs

Even more #Springsteen. Here's Long Walk Home from his opening night in Manchester. #MusicSky youtu.be/JRVfzD87G8w

Another video from the Springsteen concert in Manchester. A beautiful solo rendition of House of a Thousand Guitars. What a special night it was! #MusicSky #Springsteen youtu.be/2t-67zPhYGw

Here's one more video from Bruce Springsteen's amazing opening concert in Manchester last Wednesday; the beautiful My City of Ruins with a very powerful and emotional speech beforehand #MusicSky youtu.be/FFBVw4UR3rk

Main headline of The Guardian today... and we still do nothing. The world is abdicating responsibility and it's well past time our leaders intervened. I'm a lifelong Labour supporter but we now need to all rebel to force Starmer into action. #Gaza

Please read this list of attacks from Wikipedia on the Jabalia refugee camp. The most recent was on a school this week killing 16 including 5 children. This is just one place. Our silence makes us complicit #Gaza lhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_Jabalia_refugee_camp_(2023%E2%80%93present)

Here is Thunder Road from the first night of Springsteen's tour in Manchester yesterday. youtu.be/XX6aJgXv6po?...

There is more outrage in the UK about Gary Lineker's accidental anti-semitic repost than there is about the deaths of 20,000 children in Gaza that he was protesting against. What a disgrace!

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run in Manchester last night. The first night of his World Tour. Does music get better than this? #MusicSky youtu.be/oxHcGUtkURU?...

I was lucky to be at the opening of Bruce Springsteen's world tour in Manchester last night. Here is the opening number with a visceral anti-Trump introduction. It was an emotional experience. (Sorry for my tone-deaf backing vocals!) #MusicSky youtu.be/xFJuYToaiHQ

Much as Owen Jones grates on me, he is very powerful here exposing this terrible story #Gaza

Well I hope the protesters are out in force for the centenary of the woman who destroyed British society. #Thatcher

Just a sidenote on the BBC News today. The photo should be enough for the World to intervene. Watch the video. I cried. #Gaza www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

And so it continues and we just stand back and watch. It really is beyond my comprehension. #Gaza

No words necessary here #Gaza

I know it's a bit sad asking for selfies with your idols but who cares. Here I am with the magnificent Ian Prowse (Pele, Amsterdam) @ianprowse.bsky.social last week after his triumphant show in Manchester. #MusicSky

Now, wouldn't this be a lovely place to read! #BookSky

More blatant corruption at the expense of the health of the people. The USA is well and truly off the rails.

Oh no, not another Pope Ratzinger!

Let's hope he continues the work of his predecessor by 1) speaking out against the clown in his own country 2) condemning Israel and its ethnic cleansing of Palestine. It might help redeem the Catholic Church so it can be seen as a force for good in the world. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

So, we now have an open, clear statement of intended ethnic cleansing. Finally, will the World intervene? #Gaza www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Watching this Inter team on course for the Champions League final with Darmian and Mikhitaryan in the squad and can't help but think about the treatment and derogatory comments they received at United. You've got to wonder what is wrong with us! #ManUtd #MUFC

Israel must not be allowed to continue murdering Palestinian people. David Lammy, sanctions please.

The Welsh first minister will criticise Keir Starmer’s welfare reforms in a major speech on Tuesday, saying she will pursue a leftwing “red Welsh way” and put a clear dividing line between Welsh Labour and the national party www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This seems to be a pretty obvious opportunity to unite and show solidarity. Enough is enough

Brilliantly said

And the World is just going to stand back and watch this happen? Time for intervention. Step up #Labour and condemn this. It is long overdue. #Gaza www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

We have another exciting collaboration to announce! Jenna from The Board Game Garden will be creating a Kickstarter Preview video for Gems of Iridescia! She will also be playing the Solo Expedition of Gems of Iridescia live on her channel August 14th! www.youtube.com/@TheBoardGam... 🌷🪻🌹🌻🎋🪴🎍

What kind of world are we living in where nations are starving people en masse while other countries are just letting it happen?

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
