Love this album. Deffo in my #5albums50s60s5

I’m guessing that for #5albums50s60s5 Revolver will no doubt walk it. As good an album as it is, for me, this is the tops. Miles Davis - A Kind of Blue. Words like sublime, classic, iconic, masterpiece, don’t do it justice. It’s better than that.

A very happy #SocialistSunday to all of you! Let's work together and build #YourParty into a collective that can smash ##Genocide Nu Labour, and Reform!

#Solidarity! ✊ ✊ ✊ and #FreePalestine! 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

Glad to hear Rachel is on the mend.

All the best to you and your family.

Post a book you love from the 1970s.

I could easily have posted The Periodic Table myself as I love it too, but instead, I will post this one.

Today.

Reading this. Superb history book from the superb historian Antony Beevor. Brilliantly maps out the conflict across the globe, whilst focusing in on the detail. Total horror.
