Starmer's Labour government need to show some purpose and clarity of message fast. The positive policies are just not cutting through with the public and being overshadowed by the welfare cuts and winter fuel. I'm a very frustrated Labour member...

Andy Burnham has made his leadership pitch
The Manchester mayor’s “popular left programme” is an unashamed challenge to Keir Starmer.

It was wonderful. It worked well the set being split up like he did. I had a long work commute on Friday and was able to immerse myself in the two recent LPs on loop ahead of the gig.

#NowPlaying These New Puritans - Crooked Wing. This new LP is a masterpiece. No mean feat for a band with such an outstanding back catalogue. There are similarities here to The Blue Nile which is a joy. I would love to see them do more with Caroline Polachek. #musicsky #vinyl

It was incredible seeing Alan Sparhawk last night at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth. Songs of such emotion throughout the set. #musicsky #gig #livemusic #low
