It’s pissing down with icy rain, the cricket is going wrong, and I need to get a load more records shifted before we move house in a couple of weeks. Pretty much everything is £10 or less now. Grab a bargain 👍🏻 www.discogs.com/seller/GHSHL...

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.

Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.

Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

If, like me, this utter betrayal by Labour is making your blood boil, can I ask you let them know your feelings here www.gov.uk/government/c...
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

We begin today with a content warning: this dispatch from history is not for the faint-hearted. However, if you wish, do please join me for the tale of the Sun King’s anal fistula and the three-hour operation performed on it without anaesthetic on this day in 1686... 🧵

Just stuck a load of CDs signed by the bands/artists on eBay - Tricky/Charlatans/Leftfield/Sophie E-B/Levellers and more. Also a Slowdive gig poster from 2014 that’s been up a while with surprisingly little interest. Link to one of them here, then look for Sellers Other Items ebay.us/m/7tJb5Y

I am very pleased to announce that Phil King/@junkshopper's 'Lush: A Far From Home Movie', is now on YouTube for all to see.
I very much enjoyed appearing with Phil last year at various events, at home abroad, discussing the film with him and the audience.

That’s a ridiculous decision. Had no impact on the ball and keeper wasn’t getting there anyway. And I’m not a Liverpool fan.

Maybe I'm a big dumb dingus but I've never understood why, even for purely selfish reasons, none of these mega-billionaires spend the gigantic sums of money they spaff on space shit or AI on world hunger. Surely, even for an amoral cunt, being the guy who did that would trump building some rockets.

This is powerful stuff: the reasoning behind Pillay’s commission finding that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Wave of nostalgia finding this. Matchbox really did have some random choices of prototype for their kits.

Celebrate the weekend/ease into a week of chaos with the kids home with a spot of vinyl retail therapy ⤵️
More records going on the Discogs (and likely more to add as the day goes on). Signed Johnny Marr and Miki Berenyi included this morning. Take a look, make a purchase, share, improve my Friday morning 😊 #vinyl
