Have to agree woth Andrew here. Aimee Mann is one of the best female songwriters around, and still criminally underappreciated in the UK. I'd nominate all of "Lost In Space" as her best songs.

I have two - TWO - of these gorgeous original A4 meadow hare linoprints by my mum, Jo, to give away to a couple of lucky people here on Bluesky today. Rules are simple: to be in with a chance to win, you just have to repost this piece I wrote about Jo and her art: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...

“We asked a hundred people to name a government economic priority. You said: cutting spending on disabled kids travelling to school.”

Dominic Grieve’s response to Nigel Farage’s ‘let’s leave the ECHR’ stunt in parliament is spot on.

Morning all. There's a lot of arseholes in the World, doing shitty things to each other, us and the planet. So let's focus in those near and dear to us, and to our local environment...start from there.

Nice one, Private Eye! 👍

Farage: epic grifter

@markradcliffe.bsky.social great #TTTT I was hoping for The Great Skua by Sea Power/ BSP. Reminded what a great album that debut by Guillemots was. Do you happen to know what Fyffe is doing now?

Is there no limit to the pathetic publicity seeking of this ridiculous little man? He'd rather sit in the Commons public gallery - so that can still be photographed - than actually turn up for work, and do his bloody job... Farage is waste of space, and a wasted vote 🤮 observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Two other UKIP MEPs, both of whom - like Nathan Gill - followed Farage into the Brexit Party, accompanied Gill on a trip paid for by pro-Russian interests. And 6 weeks later echoed Gill's Putin-friendly talking points in Parliament. What a small world! observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Nicky Campbell being a true modern journalist on R5. Stating that Labour are bringing in a wealth tax, and then in the next breath saying that they'd discounted bringing in a wealth tax.

🚨 PMQ's 🚨 PM: "I think four councillors in Kent have just been suspended for bringing the party into disrepute." "I mean, that is, bringing the party into disrepute is quite something for a party whose Welsh leader accepts Russian bribes to spread Putin's propaganda."

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK? Our new Byline Times edition investigates what the media won't 👇

Even The Dotard's demolition project looks shabby and disorganised. What an arsewipe.

People still bringing shit over here from Twotter, we know it's full of morons over there, no need to bring it here.

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago. So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year? Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share! 1/

According to the latest update of the IUCN Red List, 20 species have seen a positive change in their status: they’ve moved farther away from the threat of extinction, thanks to effective conservation measures or reduced threats.

The autumn gig schedule kicking into gear nicely with a show by Grant Lee Phillips at The Lower Third in Denmark St (my 4th new venue of the year, and I'm impressed!). Always a great entertainer with a lovely rapport with his fans. Songs of yearning, a lost (?) America, love and optimism.

This cunt is balls-deep in the Nathan Gill treason case. He's Guy Burgess to Gill's Kim Philby. Russian backed. A fucking traitor.

Nathan Gill will be sentenced on 21st November for 8 charges of taking Russian Bribes. It’s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia. Investigation now! #InvestigateReformUK #ReformRussianBribes

Iggy Pop, Guy Garvey before him, @cerysmatthews.bsky.social before him, and @stuartmaconie.bsky.social all add up to making Sunday on 6 Music my favourite radio day.

We were told #Brexit would save billions. Instead it cost billions, and the Treasury scrambles for every pound. Wages stagnate, taxes rise, services fall. The public pays for Farage’s fantasy. He complains it’s not the right sort of Brexit. He walked away. We pick up the tab. #faragetaxes #rejoineu

Reform… links to Russia.. how very dare you… Don’t look at that👇🏼 No look at the Migrants, thousands of them invading.. Richard Tice, accepted a £1,400 stay at the French Riviera home of Lubov Chernukhin, a Conservative donor and the wife of Russia’s former deputy finance minister, new filings show👀

Farage has given up the pretence that he barely knew Nathan Gill. He can't do otherwise, given the flood of evidence to the contrary. Here is Gill saying he's just come from having lunch with Farage on the day that Farage resigned as UKIP leader 4 July 2016?

I'm only one disc and two songs into the new 3-cd album (yes 2 cos, 30 songs!) "Twilight Override" by Jeff Tweedy...and by God is it good! How the hell is this man so darned consistent, and so darned inventive? And his kids are great musicians too. Love Spencer's drumming.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

As a lifelong birder, and one who travelled a fair bit over the years, I think I expected that, one day, I would see a Slender-billed Curlew. There was even the brief excitement of a bird in Suffolk that was reported as one, and which I saw - fleetingly. But no. I never saw one.

Yesterday the Scottish Government announced a further delay to the implementation of muirburn licencing. That very same day, a muirburn in Aberdeenshire got out of control and started a wildfire. We can’t afford any more delay. 👇 www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

The UK Media is very interesting, Angela Rayner who tried to avoid tax was on the TV and in Media every day of the week. But Reform UK's ex-Welsh Leader pleads guilty to Bribery Charges. And we need to forget about it instantly. Can't be having bad PR for Reform.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

If peace does descend on Gaza (and the West Bank)*, who is going to rebuild everything? And will Palestine be recognised by every country? *and I fervently hope it does.

There must be a setting in the programs that generate hideous AI posterised artworks that changes the colours from the godawful sepia-tinged palette of shite that we see so often in the media these days.

Craig Bennett, CEO of the Wildlife Trusts: “It is... shocking to hear the chancellor boast allowing people with privileged access to try & circumvent some of the processes that have been put in place by parliament, & to hear how she just dismisses ecological science as if it somehow doesn’t matter.”
