In 1994 the Pet Shop Boys were invited to perform 'Go West' at the Brit Awards.
They agreed and brought with them 3 separate choirs of miners. Some of those miners had marched with the gay and lesbian members of LGSM in the 1980s. It is one of the great, near-lost music moments

Get up.
Check how many more MPs have announced they're standing down overnight.

So a couple of days ago, after his most recent reversal on the Uni visa stuff, I did wonder whether we were at a point now where most of us just point & laugh when Sunak appears or speaks.

Yorkshire weirdies! Head to the already wonderful Ryedale Folk Museum this summer, it's got a brilliant - and huge - exhibition about witchcraft and folk magic running until November. Genuine witch posts, crystal balls, corn dollies, the lot. Plus an actual one-eyed cat that tries to weird you out.

An excellent and important read by @gavinesler.bsky.social about GB News, which is also, in part, hilariously funny.
