That new @danielmarkavery.bsky.social essential mix is superb - really diverse and with loads of gorgeous song I haven’t heard.
Not sure you’re going to the right afterparties though, if it’s just putting a record on, lighting a candle and chatting about the future 😉

A lesson for the Labour Party - even if you deported a hundred thousand migrants, or five hundred thousand, Nigel Farage would just tell people you hadn't, and they'd believe him.
Yeah this makes me annoyed not because I am a grand defender of Biden's record on the border (I am not), but there is this utterly false perception that the Biden admin did nothing. That could not be further from the truth. The Biden admin carried out over 3 million repatriations in 4 years.
The plural of anecdote is not data, but I had a recent conversation with a left leaning, Trump disliking, reasonably well informed adult in Houston during which he spat blood about Biden’s complete failure to do anything at all about the border (”they didn’t do a damned thing!”)
