I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

In 2024 there were around 3,600 suspected cases of measles.

This “leaking” to media whether deliberate or not, is abhorrent. It is a practise that has been normalised & used as a tactic, or an excuse. Transparency is one thing but there should be strict guidelines about when & how information is released. #Govt #Labour #Standards

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I think it is a good thing for Andy Burnham to stand as an MP. Troublesome times need experienced politicians on board. I think the same for the Tories eg Dominic Grieve, Anna Soubry, Rory Stewart. The far right is the real enemy.
