Ceremony 4.5 with Divorce, Heartworms, Nightbus and many more is now sold out - thank you to everyone who picked up tickets. That means that the big sister, CEREMONY 5 is now incoming! We've already got most of the artists confirmed, including the headliner, which will be revealed very soon.

With pardons, January 6 offenders are now free to possess firearms and ammunition again. Their convictions would have made that a federal crime, but no more.

Reform UK want UK to leave ECHR. It must never happen When Winston Churchill stood at the Hague to deliver his speech on the importance of human rights at Congress of Europe in 1948, those there had seen first-hand the horrors that a despotic regime, unregulated by law, could enact on its people

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech? We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

Farage ‘hasn’t got a clue’ says Chancellor Rachel Reeves “What’s Nigel Farage’s answer on the economy? How is he going to make working people better off? He hasn’t got a clue. How’s he going to grow the economy? He’s not got the faintest” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I'm getting really tired now of almost nothing but shitty evil things happening. It's been like that for the past 30 years... 🙄

Said every Brexiteer ever …

Kemi Badenoch lays to rest any doubts about her working class credentials by explaining that she prefers to have someone bring her a steak for lunch rather than eat a sandwich.

The average lifespan was 35 and 50% of people died before they were 2. Is what they did.

Strike Day 3: going on strike isn’t meant to be fun. Yet here we are. Great colleagues, great craic & great @billybragg.bsky.social. What’s going on inside that building is the opposite of all these things. ‘Solidarity forever for the union makes us strong’ ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊

The fact that Elon Musk wanted to give Nigel Farage and Reform UK $100m but couldn't because it was illegal should be the death of Reform, who supposedly are all about sovereignty and the 'working' man. But it won't be because they are all stupid.

I'm here! At last!

We’ve already got too many right-wing media barons (often tax exiles) controlling what people read and hear and ultimately believe. Out of that concern I’ve expressed an interest in the sale of the Observer and discussed the situation with the GMG. bit.ly/4eQYGZO
