I'm not a Labour Party member or voter. But they REALLY need to get their shit together because I believe they're is a real chance Farage can get in next time. Genuinely concerned for the way the UK is going.

I'm off to Fishguard International Festival today with Stevens & Pound. Looking forward to playing Holst, Vaughan Williams and Beatles!

The wonderful @privateeyenews.bsky.social point this kind of stuff on a regular basis but this probably tops the lot re Brexit. And it's very disrespectful to readers and voters. Thanks to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for this!

😄 🤣

Did you just shit out Donald Trump?

Who's seen Adolescence then? Unbelievable drama. Arguably one of the best I've ever seen if not the best.

Alongside the serious nature of the show I also think it's a massive advertisement for how the Government should be funding the arts and arts education.

They are beyond awful. I remember when people were trying to persuade me that Starmer would be radical in office. Hmm.

Performing arts leaders issue copyright warning over UK government’s AI plans In a statement, 35 signatories from dance, theatre and music industries express concern about ‘fragile ecosystem’

I trust the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social to do the right thing but I suspect I'll be wrong about that considering the other policies it's trying to introduce.

It taught me quite a lot about myself that 2nd book! Great work.

Rail fares rise by 4.6% in England and Wales Campaigners say if government can find money to freeze fuel duty for motorists they can do similar for railways

www.theguardian.com/money/2025/m... Another great policy to get people onto public transport and off the roads.

This. I stand with 🇺🇦 and 🇪🇺 and also the American people who didn't vote for this monster.

Europe definitely needs to be active as one voice now. Needs to put aside differences because Putin will see this as a signal to carry on and invade the Baltic states...

I've just seen a sign similar to this in Doolin, Ireland 🇮🇪 😀 😄 🤣 absolutely crying...

Lovely demo reel from @jennbutterworth.bsky.social and @willharmonicas.bsky.social just up on that YouTube. They're great! I still remember the first time I heard Will doing his thing in a floor spot at Sharp's folk club in London. Blew us all away, he did.

Have a very wonderful Christmas folks! :) catch you on the road in 2025!

Majority of Brexit voters ‘would accept free movement’ to access single market Europe-wide polling finds UK and EU leaders now out of step with public opinion and pursue ‘ambitious reset’

Really hope @teamlabouruk.bsky.social take this on board.

All of you #Rejoin folk out there… You saw that we just appointed Dominic Grieve & Caroline Lucas as co-Presidents…

And you know our 23,000 membership is now growing fast…

So - are we doing this? Are you IN?
