GB News has one purpose - to promote Russian foreign policy as RT (which paid Farage thousands) has been banned as a security threat.

Why assume Paulin does not know this?

KS is becoming Britain’s Biden. We are at war and he does not seem to have grasped it.

With the polite afternoon tea poetry to match, I fear.

This is philosophically naive.

With anti-canonical thinking came movement to the kind of higher modernism that exemplifies elitism. These are Neoliberal wealth gaps converted to cultural capital as a middle-class defence against losing the high ground. Popular poets like Hughes, Heaney and Larkin are no longer possible.

FB is a Tory who has destroyed Question Time with her bias and repeated platforming of Reform fascists. Her husband has a multimillion pound contract with the Tory party. She is someone to abhor, not admire.

That title song by Jimmy Nail was brilliant.

It's been a quiet few months so I'm pleased to have a poem in this fine mag. In good bookshops everywhere...

The Lizard King was also responsible for the phrase 'mute nostril agony'.

Do people know there is a play on about Max Ritvo at the Hampstead Theatre at the minute? Feels like a thing to support.

Kneecap know what all us Irish know: the ultimate weapon is to consign you to history.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but yes, you do deserve a bookshelf with a rolling ladder.

I'm a Bourdieu specialist (i.e. pretty left) but I think we're at the point of being in a crisis with a binary choice, like Berlin in 1932. Once Putin's cat's paws are dealt with it, it becomes a different matter...

It’s horrible but not voting for Labour is facilitating Reform’s fascism - holding the Brownshorts at bay and not splitting the Left vote has to be the priority. After that though…
