No Mogwai museum alas but there are loads of good places worth visiting, mono, nice n sleazy, hug and pint, necropolis (it’s a grave yard) and the barrow lands where you’re going anyway 🫡

There’s a bit in the full whiny, bleating, cry baby, bed wetting spiel about “techno singing” which definitely intrigued me.

It was clumsy af but I tend to agree that the cultural relevance of performing works by people long dead is questionable at best and the fact that many people who solely consume it look down on new creations is utterly baffling

Inside the Pro-Israel Campaign to Stop ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ From Winning an Oscar A group led by top Hollywood executives and linked to the Israeli government is trying to smear a film about a little girl killed by Israeli forces.

I hope this gets more people to see this important and heartbreaking movie.

Bullying people won't work. People have a genocide in real time on their phones and a majority of Americans want it to end.

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid 
Proud to meet four heroes in Parliament today.
Sandie Peggie, the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle.
They have shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging a warped ideology and a culture of virtue signalling that rewards institutional cowardice.
Thankfully, the tide is Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid 
Our Home Affairs Select Committee report on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban has been published.
An extraordinary and unjustified decision that exposed serious failures within West Midlands
Police. Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid 
My column in the Herald on Sunday: the Scottish grooming gangs inquiry is welcome.
We must also confront how our third sector has become institutionally corrupted to the point where it sides with SNP ministers instead of standing with women and girls Joani Reid MP

The SNP are taking the biscuit. They chose to turn Glasgow into sanctuary for asylum seekers through their own virtue-signalling policies, and now they want the Home Office to bail them out.

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

Sir Keir supports whatever illegal shit the US tells him to

The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East.

But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.
