Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Also! Sir, You Are Being Hunted is on sale in the Steam Autumn sale, and there is no more autumnal experience than fleeing between the hedgerows chased by tweedy British robots.
And hey, it's a game you should probably own if you like anything I have ever done.

Music journalism was once funded by labels advertising. In 2025, barely any record labels advertise, instead paying influencers to gab on. If you believe in cultural criticism and long-form writing, becoming a tQ subscriber is one vital way to ensure it survives:

New album out today. It's prospective soundtrack music from a creative project currently on hold. Stumbled across the tracks and loved how they worked with each other. Listening back, it's an unashamed love letter to Fennesz, SAW II Aphex, Abul Mogard etc.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

What Moore says next in the interview is more important, to me. Nobody is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves, in community with each other.
