Lovely weekend in London. Tom McRae at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Banksy Exhibition and the absolutely brilliant Fast Show at the Palladium. Oh and cracking crumble at the Between Two Bridges.

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥
Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

Since my decision to stop posting to X/Twitter, and restarting here, the project has lost 2k+ followers.
It’s disheartening, but the project is 10yrs old this year, and I hope it’ll be around for 10 more.
To those who have stuck with us, and to those new to the project, thank you.
We can rebuild.

In the coming weeks a bill will go through Parliament where MPs will vote on proposed cuts to disabled people’s social security
An analysis by @trusselluk.bsky.social shows if it passes 440,000 disabled people & their families will be forced into severe hardship
Ask your MP to vote against it

I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink its cruel, shameful & completely irresponsible plan to cut benefits which will plunge 250,000 people, including 50,000 children into poverty - on its own impact analysis

Reform is a Limited Company
Farage owns 53%
It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”
It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget
It wants to privatise the NHS
& invest in fossil fuels
Close the BBC
& break International law
It’s a scam

I agree there was a bit of fawning, but to me Starmer also looked like a paramedic trying to gently handle a mad methed up man toddler running amok in a shopping centre. “Come on mate, just put your trousers on and you can come have tea with the King, look, he invited you!”

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.
