@scottygb.bsky.social I have a media-related question for you, Scott. I hope it’s something you may be able to shed some light on: We can all agree that local journalism is vital. So how can they be allowed to pollute their articles with the worst kind of pop up ads, making it all unreadable?

Had a brilliant night with #OracleSisters at @bandonthewall.bsky.social last night. Tight and fun with a brilliant cover of ‘Teardrop’ at the end. You really must see this band if you get the chance.

🇪🇺🇬🇧 Through my first set of meetings in Brussels. The praise for Starmer is overwhelming: “What he has managed to do is not just good for him. It's good for all of us. Absolutely top notch. This is the UK at its best. The UK we have always admired.

A big part of what makes a good radio interview isn’t the questions but instead the patience to give your guest space to talk openly and confidently.
Chris Hawkins is a great interviewer. He’s got Damon/Badly Drawn Boy on 6Music right now, he’s letting him talk, and it’s absolutely fascinating to hear him talk about his music and his life.
