America’s reputation as a country of political intellect, innovation and security, in a flash, has died before our eyes. Trump has destroyed America’s reputation as a stalwart and made her look like an utter idiot.

As soon as a Tory comes on the radio or tv now, I hit the mute button. A perfect way to ignore any ideas, thoughts or pontifications they may have.

I have enjoyed #thesplit in the past. Such excellent performances always. The two Barcelona specials were well acted but my god there were SO MANY CLOSE UPS! They fly all the way to Spain and all we get is a bog standard studio TV show. Such a shame. Could have been so much more cinematic too.

Thoroughly enjoying my Christmas present book “Politics On The Edge” by Rory Stewart. Walking through Cumbria in thick snow visiting every village and Hamlet in his eventual constituency is quite the dedication Boris Johnson lacked I’d wager @rory-stewart.bsky.social @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social

@supertanskiiii.bsky.social did you hear Gullis’ interview on LBC today? Iain Dale show.

How can we object to paying Thames Water’s increase in prices? I really object to this

Driving in London in 2024 is almost a complete waste of time. Not only central London but the suburbs are so clogged with traffic, what was once a 10 minute journey can take up to an hour. Why is this?

Hey Oxford Music people! I’m in an acoustic rock trio called Cloud 9 - gigging around Oxford. Next show at #Rose&Crown pub in #Charlbury on Nov 15th. Come on down - www.facebook.com/share/nYghiE...

What’s great about playing in a band for me is that we play exactly what we want. Nobody tells us what to write or what to play. We’re small time. No fame. But that suits me fine. Wouldn’t mind a wee bit more money though! Twas ever thus!

I’ve written lots of music over the years but I’m most proud of this album. “Stories” has a mini audio story which relates to each song. If you feel inclined, let me know what you think. open.spotify.com/album/2xgWEO...

Annoyed at Sting today. I mean, using Ebsus2 chord in a song??? WTF!!! Who uses that?Anyway the man’s a true genius and I bow to his use of finger screaming chords!

Have been learning Sting’s SEVEN DAYS today. My Cloud 9 band wanna do it at gigs. Tricky number to nail as it’s all in 5/4 but I’m determined!

Anyone seen the BBC doc “Boybands Forever”?

First post on here. Twitter had to be jettisoned to the sewer it became. Hello Bluesky!
