I will be honest (rather than pretending to have been in on a whole load of secret swirling rumours), Josh Simons was really not top of my list for this…

See the Labour wannabe leaders are rushing in before the major threat of Andy Burnham can get into position - be more weak leadership if either of them get in

No royalist but why is the UK pimping out one of its assets to appease the cockwomble that is #trump

Reform insiders are reportedly concerned that links to figures like Andrew Tate could cost them votes. They are right to be worried, but they’re missing a bigger problem. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

NATO has been a good ally all along. He just hasn't figure out how to grift money from then yet, so he's angry.

Does #DonaldTrump not realise America is also part of NATO?

Keith Moon was something else, man

“Everyone involved pretends they had absolutely no idea.” Ian Hislop, Private Eye’s editor, appeared on Tonight with Andrew Marr to discuss the Epstein files, and the cover the Eye ran in reference to the paedophile sex trafficker all the way back in 2011.

This day in Inspirals history… Jan 30, 1989 In an early TV appearance we play an instrumental version of Directing Traffic on Tony Wilson’s OSM. Tony wasn’t put off that the band had no singer and even added a plug for a new one at the end. RIP Tony. You are missed. youtu.be/VOGlRudiNOg?...

Inspiral Carpets sign to Manchester record label Scruff of the Neck! New music coming soon…
