Four-Song Peel Session of Sheffield post-punk band I'm So Hollow from August 13, 1980. Length: 12:21. #PostPunk m.youtube.com/watch?v=yLlF...
"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons"
When's the vote, Keir?
Since the day he became leader, in every possible way, he has made the wrongest, worst choice in every single decision.
100% unblemished record of failure and harm.
Ahhh thank you so much, that's wonderful to hear! It was so much fun. Helen did brilliantly - I hope we can make it an annual event! 🏮
The fact that Starmer has absolutely no idea how to respond to the result without insulting voters should give his defenders pause. And yet

This. He never cared about making lives better.
Labour in local government offers a completely different story - but KS and co seem determined to make sure there's none of that left after this May.
- instead it's a party which has been hijacked by people whose only ideology is managing capital and crushing the left, leading to an actively harmful government.
The Party is in an utter mess and there's one key action that needs taking first to start reckoning with what's left of the last 120 yrs
I don't disagree with any of what you've said here, apart from that Starmer isn't the central problem. He was made leader 6 years ago, and in that time he and his lot have brought the party to where it is now. People are furious with Labour because what they're being given is not Labour -
Nationally, Labour is losing twice as many voters to Greens and Lib Dems as they are to Reform. (John Curtice on BBC)

General comment, but this whole “keep teens off social media” thing does increasingly seem like it misses the point that a swathe of older people are becoming massively radicalised online.
This really feels like crossing a rubicon, frankly.
Finally joined up to @ramblers.org.uk today.
Had a brief look on the Other Website about the by-election and predictably it was full of very upsetting things, not least some horrendous AI rendered posters of Gorton Monastery.
Daunting
Oh what, I saw this as we're watching the opening credits
It was Wear-Your-Finished-Knit-To-Knit-Night-To-Knit-Your-New-Knit Night tonight 🧶
Over TWO-THIRDS of the public supports the end of Section 21 evictions. So why does Reform want to repeal renters' rights?
Scrapping the Renters' Rights Act would just mean more homelessness and insecurity for England's 11 million renters. Reform should think again.
Happy 40th birthday to Sheep by The Housemartins, released on this day in 1986. Here they are performing the song on No. 73, which I think was their first TV appearance

Just cheesemas
The size of the scandal of what's being done to trans people in the UK is too big to even appreciate in one sitting and so many people just aren't even aware.
Important!
A strong day for culinary treats in Otley (she did that pie in two chomps).
