When you all like the same band… Mum and daughters night out in Margate courtesy of #Bastille who provided the nostalgia, feel-good dance anthems and hauntingly beautiful tunes. Didn’t realise I knew so many of the words! Excellent support from #onlythepoets and #orlagartland

Often, the best gigs are the ones when you chaperone your kids to see their favourite artist & end up appreciating the music along the way Wembley was wild inc. the temperature but #mcr proved last night that they remain pop-punk emo royalty Emotional, theatrical and thrilling 🖤 #mychemicalromance

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years. Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all. People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.
