Am reading a book on African music. It made me listen to the instruments on Boy In the Bubble in a new way. It's an incredible piece of music #forgotten80s

The Scottish Parliament Standards Committee published their First Stage report on the Right to Recall MSPs Bill today. My colleagues Catriona Mullay, Andrew @peatworrier.bsky.social and I gave evidence and were quoted. Link here #RightToRecall
‘Fundamental issues’ must be addressed in a Bill which would introduce a process where MSPs could be recalled - potentially losing their seat.
The Standards Committee says the Bill needs further thought for it to work.

Way back in the mists of time – or June 2017 to be precise – @drniklaw.bsky.social and I embarked on an endurance challenge for the ages, which was to listen to, and provide a pithy review of, every album on the Guardian’s list of 1,000 Albums To Hear Before You Die.

Latest Library Read. The Handmaid's Tale. Must read, brilliant example of the power of fiction to create a believable but brutal world in a few chapters. The narrative of an anonymous survivor in a time of constant crisis. You cant get more topical than that #books #reading #BookSky
