Excellent article by @adambienkov.bsky.social for the equally excellent @bylinetimes.bsky.social. Reform’s policies & Farage’s grifting are turning off voters who realise he’s another 🍊💩. Who does he have left to mobilise & vote for him? The racists & white supremacists, that’s who.

Great piece here by Wyndham Wallace on Talk Talk's third album, The Colour Of Spring. It's a genuinely groundbreaking, innovative, and most importantly, Really Good album that deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as Spirit Of Eden and Laughing Stock thequietus.com/opinion-and-... 1/2
