My latest book is Rebel Sounds: Music as Resistance. It's a social history of the twentieth century but one that takes in the human impulse to create, share and enjoy the one thing that connects cultures and spans generations: music. It's out in America next week! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/rebe... (2)

If you're tired of the biased BBC don't forget to tune in to GB News to watch shows hosted by Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson, Matthew Goodwin or Jacob Rees-Mogg. 🤣

Of course the BBC has made mistakes but watching these right/far-right commentators pretending they care about impartiality and journalistic standards when they appear on/host GB News shows is laughable. I wish the BBC spent less time placating ppl who will hate it regardless of what they do.

The authoritarian crack down on American anti-fascists is deeply worrying to see. It's one of those moments when a fascist leader tells the world who he really is. There must be better ways that European anti-fascists can show our solidarity and offer support.

Tommy Robinson and his friends at Rebel News couldn’t resist a final grift before his big rally on September 13th.
50 of his most ‘devoted’ followers are paying up to £4,099 for what looks like the worst school trip ever, complete with museums and allocated leisure time.
