Just came across this snap of me laying down some Stick bass for my @theraindogs.bsky.social 2020 album "Hawksmoor". Somebody once said it was cool but it did look like I was tickling a long stiff python, and that's something I've never been able to banish from my head since. 🤣

Tonight’s supper: Ox Cheeks, braised in red wine for six hours in the slow cooker. Served up with a stupidly buttery mash and roast carrots.

It does worry me that such a powerful man is a neo-nazi psychopath who gives the impression of someone who consumes enormous cocktails of Special Brew, Absinthe, and Toilet Duck.

OTD in 1938 Nazi Germany started occupying the Sudetenland. The west tried to appease Hitler by giving him bits of someone else's country without asking the owners. It didnt work & led to a terrible war. Imagine it happening today....

We're repeatedly told that asylum seekers pose a threat to the good people of our country... Reading about the threatening and violent treatment of elderly and open minded locals in Crowborough I get the impression that the real threat comes from closer to home. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

On Facebook and other platforms, people
who are known to support the asylum
seekers have been threatened with acid
attacks, petrol bombs and rape. The dossier.
which has been seen by the Guardian, also
claims that several local businesses have
been threatened by far-right agitators, along
with a church where some asylum seekers
worship. One man was punched in the throat
after he held up a "Love Thy Neighbour"
sign, while an elderly couple were falsely
accused of supporting sex offenders. In yet
another case, a 92-year-old church volunteer
was reportedly woken at 3am for two nights
in a row by a man standing outside her
home, shining a torch through her window
and shouting abuse

It's the start of the 2026 Hallowmeme Countdown. 🎃

The "Back In My Day" Simpsons meme that usually shows Grampa regaling Springfield's younger residents, (who are all sat at his feet in a semi-circle), with tales of how things used to be. Grampa is now Captain McCallister, the kids are still the kids, but the daytime and rolling green hills have been replaced with a beach under starry skies. The wording at the top reads "JOHN CARPENTER'S THE FOG". I was going to replace the drink in the captain's hand with a pocket watch, but couldn't be arsed, so feel free to imagine it for yourselves.

9 years after Grenfell fire killed 72 people, Police pass files to the Crown Prosecution Service for possible charges against 54 individuals and 20 companies. How many will be prosecuted? Years of litigation will follow. Justice delayed is justice denied.

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

Esther Rantzen was always so warm and effervescent on camera. I always enjoyed watching her on TV. She was always campaigning to make the world that little bit better, right up until her death. RIP, Esther.

I love it when the Daily Mail threatens me with a good time. "Most Left-wing speech by a PM since 1970s" "National Care Service" "Closer ties with EU" "voting reform that could lock Right out of power"

This action by Tom Watson is not simply outrageous and disgraceful, but is an absolute abuse of his power as a member of the House of Lords. The House of Lords Commissioners for Standards needs to investigate his potential breach of the HoL Code of Conduct as a matter of urgency.

I have said before and will again: any electoral reform commission must NOT rule out a change of system BEFORE the next election if needed. We cannot risk a minority vote handing a huge majority to any party that would take a shredder to democracy itself.

Burnham's weak sauce stance on Brexit today was enough to send the right wing media into a rabid frenzy, but far too non-committal to move the needle for Rejoin enthusiasts. Takes a special kind of genius to triangulate that badly. Obviously a trait he inherited from Starmer.

Now we need to see similar energy behind a commitment to get dirty money out of politics, clamp down on donations, greater transparency over lobbying, Lords reform and an end to the revolving door between politics and lobbying. Only then will we have a politics people can truly trust
