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.

Dog decided I should get up extra early today and now my alarm has gone off and I failed to get back to sleep.
I will be annoyed about this all day. ALL DAY.
The dog? Oh she’s just curled up and will be asleep for hours.

If you were around in the 80s you'd frequently come across this as a padding in TV schedules (in the replies there is a video of them playing live which is much freakier than the animation)

Is the Royal Mail having a crisis? I have an outgoing tracked delivery that has been sat as a sorting office for over a week, an incoming one that was supposed to be delivered days ago and genuinely can’t remember when I last had regular mail through the door. Is it personal? #RoyalMail

This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

The ratio here absolutely slaps.
This is real leadership by Keir Starmer. A serious politician for serious times.
Which is more than you can say about the Green Party 🤡 that is Zack Polanski. Under him, thousands of British jobs would be lost, the security of our country would be at risk and British citizens would be worse off.

Radiohead marathon this morning. Tunes that originally felt like dystopian extremes, like the systematic persecution and moral panic of Burn the Witch, suddenly hitting like anthems for what’s happening right now.
On that joyful note, off for a run.
