One of the side-effects of the implosion of the Conservative party is how beyond amateurish their entire operation is now.
Even at a senior level the quality and experience of the people working for them is just incredibly low

#Nowspinning Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra – Promises (2021). First time tasting the last harvest—and this is my soundtrack. A breathtaking fusion of ambient, jazz, and orchestral beauty.

Watch Brian Eno, Damon Albarn (Blur), Portishead, Hot Chip, and a bunch of other cool people hold a concert at Wembley Stadium, demand a ceasefire, and an end to the genocide.
