I saw them live once, supporting Tom Petty on one of their first UK tours. It was over 45 years ago, and that once was enough

Torture on this South West train. Just pulled the tray table dawn and found these. Probably from a non ticket holding passenger who couldnโ€™t afford the fine

Something from the novel I've just read
Pt. 1
"This is a terrible time in which we live, my dear boy. There is none recorded in history, I think, in which the disproportion between the material and the moral constituents of society has been so great or so menacing to the permanence of the fabric.

The late Christoper Fowler was, rightly, incensed by the success of Thursday Murder, after heโ€™d written a brilliant series of novels about a pair of elderly, decrepit detectives that got nowhere near that successโ€ฆ

It seems that Starmer is doing such an incredibly bad job of managing Labour policy that I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if someone called him out as a Russian Asset soon

Farage party picked a dead woman to run for Croydon Mayor EXCLUSIVE: Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, sadly died in July 2024. But that didnโ€™t stop Reform UK six months later picking her as their Croydon mayoral candidate. By our Political Editโ€ฆ

This is just next level insanity.

In January this year, Reform picked Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, to run as their Croydon Mayoral candidate.

There was just one rather significant problem.

She had sadly died in July 2024.
