Feels like a good time for a reminder that the technical definition of what is legal and illegal is often very far removed from what is and isn't repugnantly immoral and deserving of social ostracisation.

I only wish the GPEW good things but you need to be vigilant, because Corbynite rejects like this will just turn you into Your Party 2.0 if you let them.

Today's vinyl is the Next Day Extras EP, a seven-track collection of outtakes and remixes actually long enough to count as an album. Sadly that's because pretty much every song outlasts its ideas by about two choruses (or about 17 in the case of the "Love is Lost" remix).

Sex Matters are demanding biological sex on Digital ID. Below are suggestions for when one should have to use their ID to "verify" their sex. For the avoidance of doubt – this is a call for the effective repeal of the Gender Recognition Act, in breach of our human rights obligations & EU Law.

FUNFACT: in 1980s Paris, climate activists adopted “Air”, as an anthem about ozone damage. David confused. He had written the song during the bleakest era of his cocaine addiction, paranoid thoughts had convinced him that the very air around us had been trying to kill humanity since the beginning.

Met a voter named after Beck, the kids are fucking alright

The difference between being a pacifist and denying an invasion is vast. Starting at principled to, being a wanker

Putting aside the fresh chunk of evidence No 10 lied, this mean there’s more about Mandelson himself to become public

Russell Brand admits ‘exploitative’ sex with 16-year-old girl – but denies he broke the law

Putin is bad. All my homies are anti Putin X

Putin’s aims for Ukraine are textbook genocidal. He says Ukraine doesn’t get to exist, that Ukrainian language & culture doesn’t exist. His actions - civilian massacres, occupation, executing people who have Ukrainian symbols, the child abductions - all genocidal

What’s your political ick? Mine is when someone accuses the media of creating a smear campaign on them.

I want to like the Greens. A lot of people I really respect are voting (even standing!) for them. But come on, man. You have to do the reading

Reform candidate accused NHS of causing Covid holocaust Martin Costello has also regularly shared pro-Russian propaganda in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine including claims that Russia is aiming to “de-Nazify” Ukraine, and describing Volodymyr Zelensky as a “parasite” All the scum

So angry with Zack over Ukraine, why say terrible things at all, but why say it unprompted? Just so disappointed

Lovely to see a Libdem council leading the way. Inaction has created a whole hate industry here. Manchester has been cowardly on this and allowed for social media horrors to not just terrorise vulnerable people on our streets, but to also profit from it. Well done Colchester Liberal Democrats 👏🏼

Happy 80th (yesterday) to the GOAT. And specifically this PSA played in LA cinemas before Pink Flamingos. Demonstrative proof smoking is cool, kids!

Kids being playing gta and im pretty disgusted chat, he’s really shite at it.

Every now and again I remember that Terry Hall has died and feel sad about it all over again.

And to ensure emiseration and serious workforce shortage in order to appease dog whistlers - always a pointless task.

Since before I could even vote Labour have claimed to be “in an existential crisis”. I am nearly 40. #Newsnight

"Benches are where optimistic visions of civic life meet reality. To remove them, or to curate who gets to sit, is to abandon the work of defining a civic ideal and determining, together, how to live up to it." NEW: Why benches are slowly disappearing from public spaces — and why we need them back:

Don’t do this, please. Tribalism like this, race to the bottom as it overrides compassion and reason 🙏🏽

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.

The problem with our dependency on Big Tech is evident in Palantir's NHS contract. Signing up to a 'subscription service' for one company's exclusive software leaves us with nothing when we end the contract. With open source, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors.

Happy 80th birthday to John Waters, seen here in the 1970s with Divine

Anyways get yourself to RSPCA didsbury @marcrileydj.bsky.social donation, i did well

Playing Nabihah Iqbal in my local just after I’ve been vibing with a member of rainbow bikers. I love withington so much 🩷

Ed Davey explicitly asks Keir Starmer, did you know your office was trying to get Matthew Doyle a diplomatic job and were they doing it on your authority. As Davey subsequently notes, Starmer avoided answering the question.

Pretty low bellied of Keir to say Robbins backs his description of events, yet in the same breath want praise that he sacked him. So did Olly mess up or not, this is pretty disgusting.

In case there are any left-wing people supporting a universal subsidisation of energy - and unfortunately in the UK it's Green Party policy - this is what it means. The only fair and just thing to do is for rich countries to accelerate decarbonisation and limit fossil fuel use as much as possible.

Manchester Piccadilly gardens punks. This provided the nighties having a spaced with tulips and hung out with people who would share mixtapes. We need alternative congregations again

Fuk saks there’s a festival in NYC got me wanting to break my rule. Can’t he die already

And this one. They had a few properly good storied videos come to think of it. youtu.be/ggJYJ9frSl0?...

This whole Mandelson mess started with Starmer trying to flatter and appease Trump. If the Prime Minister had stood firm with our allies instead, he might not be in this mess now.

It’s not hard. When a Home Office Minister during the coalition I banned ‘choke artist’ Julien Blanc from entering Britain. We don’t need free entry for those that spread harm and hatred. #lbc

Emily giving him a way out from his last answers in November, so he going to spill the tea

My children’s home (which was not safe) often had kids sleeping on the floor without record, no where else to go, but a don’t ask don’t tell arrangement went across Manchester. Things not changed much, but criminals and creeps who keep getting ahead of the system. A system which never priorities us

I’m so angry

🚨 NEW: Olly Robbins will tomorrow accuse Keir Starmer of pressuring the Foreign Office into approving Peter Mandelson's appointment A Whitehall source says he "won’t hold back" and that his appearance will be "box office"

So distracted by Robert Pestons bling

I bring good news! The first ever African artist inducted in the Rock & Roll hall of fame. And I can’t think of anyone better than the Black President. Fight bootlickers. Make beats.

Guys, I know you ‘stand with Starmer’, but please don’t pretend that those of us who warned about Mandelson’s appointment *from the start*, when the media, Tories and Farage were all supporting it, are being led by the media now.

The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo. It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families.
