Really looking forward to performing in this and maybe trying some basic Northern Soul moves.

Musk should be sanctioned, ban him from entering Britain as we have done with others that incite violence and sow division. If he uses X to promote violence then shut it down in Britain. Tme to stop pussyfooting around with Fascists.

In 1981 Thatcher broke the link with earnings when pensions were over 25% of earnings. Triple Lock has yet to restore their value to that level for the basic state pensions that the majority receive. The New State pension, that the minority receive, is closer to the 1981 level.

Young people, already struggling with low wages and high living costs, are being encouraged to believe that state pensioners are having a different experience. In reality state pensions have not recovered to their 1981 value in relation to earnings. Don't let the right-wing steal your future.

I really enjoyed doing the Sing Pop workshops this year. It was a daunting but rewarding challenge to stand at the mic and sing:
Heroes ~ David Bowie,
The Night ~ Frankie Valli,
Valerie ~ The Zutons
and here, with my backing vocalists,
I'm a Believer ~ The Monkees.

Opinion: The UK State Pension Triple Lock should end when the pension is back to 26% of average earnings, it's level before Thatcher broke the link with earnings. This should be the case independently for both the old & new state pensions Both should then be maintained at that level.

Obama also made me be Epstein's secret fun buddy at the behest of sleepy Joe & Hilary. #Epstein #Trump #PussyGrabber

Those Democrats and their fondness for proof, due process and the rule of law. #Awkward

Meanwhile Schrodinger's Epstein Files, simultaneously on a desk and non-existent.

Netanyahu should be arrested the first time he sets foot in a country that is signatory to the ICC and transported to The Hague for trial as the war criminal that he plainly is. Meanwhile Trump's USA turns a very revealing but disgraceful blind eye and welcomes the wanted criminal to the ShiteHouse.

Tax those that have done well with the support of UK society, time for them to repay the favour.

Another set of guitar tabs / lead sheets consigned to the right-wing racist musicians dustbin. Rod's foolish support of Enoch Powell you could put down to immaturity. The passing of the years should have led to some reflection, especially given the music of Black origin that he often sang. Bye Rod.

Since Scarborough Council was abolished and replaced by North Yorkshire Council the public gardens have been negelcted. The best colour now comes from the weed Valerian which itself competes with Brambles, Willow Herb and Sycamores to provide best cover for the rats nests.

So some of the worst paid pensioners in Europe might be getting back some of the winter fuel allowance, maybe. In the interim Labour are keen to remind us that they didn't take away the LibDems Pension Triple Lock, that was designed to close the gap with wages created by Snatcher Thatcher in 1981.

Labour are making it incredibly easy to return to voting on progressive principles, for either LibDems or Greens.

My vote may be 'squandered' but I will not be an enabler. UK is already an #IslandOfStrangers, white British people that behave like the Nazis that Churchill led us to overcome.

As we commemorate VE day, remember that Russia invaded Poland in 1939 in a pact with Nazis before being invaded itself in 1941. 80 years on Putin's Russia is still doing imperialist aggression and murdering its neighbours.

Need is a funny word to use with regards to a universal benefit that gives all taxpayers a stake in the UK. Universal benefits are highly efficient and ensure coverage such that no-one misses out. As a reminder here are positives of LibDems reining previous right-wing Governments.
