Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.

I’ve just fallen out of a tapas bar in Granada…..

If I weren’t avoiding travel to the United States because of the Trump regime, I’d move to NYC just to have Mamdani as my mayor.

Delighted to announce, after three days of exhaustive research, my findings that the absolute best tapas bar and restaurant in Granada is the Taberna Palo Cortao. Always rammed with locals, wonderful food, free tapas with drinks, lovely staff. The chef brings you your dinner. What’s not to like?

I had no idea! Well, well. There will be a few second hand ones on “Reverb”, and the U.K. market is pretty vibrant for second-hand gear. And yes, there is always a heart in mouth moment when trying out guitars in a shop…. After ten years of playing I’m just about comfortable with it.

Eastman would do you well. They have good “orchestra” models at about £300. I bought one for my step-daughter a few years ago; she loves it.

Alasdair MacDonald @macdonwald.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I don’t have one but I do play acoustic guitars as well as electric. Alvarez and Eastman would give you a lot of bang for your buck. But it does depend on what you want to do with your new acoustic.

Farage (et al) literally panting for Fairford to be linked to asylum seekers and, as usual, the ludicrous demand for immediate information with totally irresponsible implication that the absence of such information is suspect.

Britain's economy is being held back by low wages, underinvestment, rip-off pricing, the housing crisis, lack of affordable childcare and an NHS on the point of collapse. Not because there isn't a third runway at Heathrow.

I remind you that half of your political/media class frantically urged you to vote for this pig-ignorant, disastrously incompetent crook, and the other half frantically urged you not to vote for the only viable opposition, and then put two and two together about why they did that.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate from the people. He has no real ideas, and no plan.

64 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd #history 🗃️

I think that’s about right. Roland Smith did a piece on the benefits cost, on here, a few weeks ago.

Further, arrest him with bail conditions that mean he can't post online or go to certain parts of the docks infrastructure - suddenly the grifting tools are removed from his hands. De-platforming with teeth.

"Shabana Mahmood is the cabinet minister responsible for the UK’s policing and its national security – as well, of course, as managing the country’s borders…I include this reminder because Mahmood increasingly seems to be operating under the assumption that her job only concerns the latter."

If Shabana Mahmood is tough, why is she so slow to crack down on Danny Tommo and the far right?

Weeks of what looks like blatant lawbreaking have finally resulted in an arrest. But the home secretary seems happy to look elsewhere

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Pay rent, eat or keep warm? Growing numbers face hard choices as housing benefit gap grows. No curbs on rents. Shortage of social housing. 2.8m council homes sold since the 1980s, not replaced. Low wages, 37.8% of Universal Credit claimants are in work. Poverty is a political choice.
