Brilliant stuff, this needs amplifying, Minneapolis could be any city in the US o the world if different parties have their way - that's Reform & the Tories here. Hearing someone with a platform prepared to stand up & call out the nightmare is great. We all need to wake up @brucespringsteen.net

BBC News - Ex-Tory Home Secretary Suella Braverman defects to Reform UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Another one!! It's always the nicest, most empathetic, talented ones isn't it!!? Absolute wankers, wtf is #reform ? It's like a care home for the worst tories ever! People must see through this!

BBC News - Andrew Rosindell quits Tories and defects to Reform UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is predictably bonkers!! #reform might as well just rebrand, toxic Tories!! I don't get the reform strategy here, why are their supporters going to vote for washed up old Tories? Bring it on!

Could it possibly be that Zahawi is a bit of an opportunist!!?! Got to keep those stables heated somehow. These people have zero integrity, but bring it in, Reform is turning into a care home for departed Tories. They were complete w@nkers then, nothing has changed!

BBC News - Former chancellor Nadim Zahawi defects to Reform UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... It's always the ones you suspect the least... I'm hardly Reform / Farage's target audience! But, what is the point of Reform if it's just the worst Tories with even worse Reform people! V Grim...

Truly epic night in Brixton last night. What a band, I've been boring friends etc about how the Last Dinner Party are the best British band to emerge in the last 20 odd years. Last night confirmed it, they won't play venues this small again, absolutely brilliant! @thelastdinnerparty.bsky.social

Today I think @teamlabouruk.bsky.social has written it's own end. The policy is a disgrace & won't work. Reform voters are not going back to vote for a cosplay Reform. Many of us on the left will not support this or vote for them again. Starmers legacy will v likely be a Reform govt, absolute horror

Three days in Scotland, 30 different whiskies sampled & the first snow of the year!! Now back home & in need of a bit of a lie down... Scotland is always stunning & wild!

Stolen but mildly amusing. I don't really wish death on anybody... But...!!

Found this old picture of me & friends leaving Southampton station for an anti criminal justice act protest. This must have been '94, days when getting out on the streets etc could force changes. It didn't this time, but it feels like a world past given what is going on in Washington today...

2024 ending in style!! Happy new year all!

The world has gone mad, I have now had it confirmed... There are people on X, largely on the right, losing their minds over... Universal phone chargers!! Wtf! Does anyone really care? I like the idea of one charger for everything. Or am I wrong?!?

The Wonderstuff yesterday night, epic as ever...! Every significant life event over v nearly the last 40 years is marked by a song or album, and can't see it changing. Blimey though, I have been wrecked today! 16 year old me is having a right laugh at me now!!!

The state of X / twitter today! You'd think there had been some kind of coup in merger councils & outrage as someone is not banged up for a milk based assignation attempt. This place feels like r&r behind the lines before going back in to do battle! Think I might just stay here!!!

Watching all the 'patriots' lose their minds over a Christmas tree is bizarre! Given it's a gift from Norway and has been decorated in the same way for 3/4s of a century, for a group obsessed with, a largely invented, past there is a total lack of historical knowledge!! All a bit depressing...

@babayoungblood.bsky.social it has to be spike island as it's a reminder of something that no one who was there will be able to remember!! 😄

Blimey storm Darragh has turned me into a complete sofa potato... I can't remember the last time I've done nothing all day. Not all bad though, I've binged the first 5 Cure albums, can't believe they are 40 plus years old! Pub later... Might require a rescue squad later!!

Been listening to this all day, slightly different to my normal tastes but I've loved LP for about half my life now. Blimey, the whole thing is an ear worm! It's all going to sound epic live...

This place is much nicer than the other place. But, sadly, I've realised that now I've got rid of all old work stuff and bot followers there is hardly anyone left!! I clearly need to work harder!!

Right... Heading over here from the other place! Let's see how it works, hopefully a bit calmer and less platform owner like!!
