A pint of Paulaner MΓΌnchener Hell at The Queens Head, Piccadilly

I think this qualifies as a random act of senseless beauty… a beautiful pint in a little gem of a pub tucked away round the corner from Piccadilly Circus. The Queens Head is a beauty of a pub and for the West End not eyewateringly expensive #pint #classicpubs

Day 6 A song I’d play my younger self

Pearl Jam - Black

PJ were a band I had the chance to see from the ground up and I spurned it. I’d make young me listen and realise it’s genius and then go to that show at the Borderline.

Simply iconic. The riff in this song kills and is years ahead of its time. Cannot believe this made in the 60s

Day 6 A song I recognise after two bars

The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

Never mind two bars I recognise this after one note and it is enough to send me into a whirling dervish frenzy of hair and arms everywhere. Classic.

Western media bias is deliberate. Here's how to analyze it effectively. The corporate media uses omission and obfuscation to frame world events. Understanding how this works is key to disputing their bias and mendacity.

Spurs imploding is hilarious. Still frustrated by last night but also encouraged by our performance. That’s four reasonable showings on the spin.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
