The EU Single Market is one of the greatest achievements of mankind and, having helped to create it, Britain should be part of it.

Renewables, eh? We're exporting nearly 20% of generation.

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

I worked bars as a student and it was only because we had to walk around rather than stand in one place that I could stand it. I was sub-21. A ghastly and ridiculous policy.

Everyone's beaten down by the lying and cheating, and by the sense of general misery associated with this frankly awful administration.

The curse of poor management and lack of quality systems and timely investment. When will we learn to do things properly? You can be sure there's no shortage of high vis and tea.

Britain has an effectiveness problem. Any long term fix needs to start with the absolute basics of education, civic pride and social responsibility. We need to understand what quality means. We waste so much time and opportunity on self indulgence rather than productivity.

People want an efficient and reliable government to sort out life's basics. It's part of reducing the constant stress we all feel that's been caused to a significant extent by the rush to privatisation.

25 years ago today I was headed to the airport in Austin TX to catch my flight home (via Boston). It was a beautiful September morning and the sun was coming up. I was listening to a new copy of 'Desire' by Bob Dylan. About an hour after take off I was puzzled to notice that we were turning around

A sad moment - 41 years after buying these from a hotel vending machine in Colorado Springs. One of my oldest possessions and one which has travelled the world with me for all these years. Made in USA.
A broken pair of nail clippers.

After inheriting a beautiful baby grand when we moved into our current house I decided to learn to play the piano. The next piece is 'The Star Spangled Banner'. Thoughts and prayers please.

Walked past Edith Cavell's statue earlier and found the inscription very moving. Dates back to 1924 but imagine the stink in the right-wing newspapers if you tried to add that sentiment to a statue now

Seems a selfish thing to do. Unless there's a real reason (illness etc) MPs should serve out a full term simply out of respect for their constitutiuents. Disloyal timing, too.

Until I met my wife it had never occurred to me to put books/records/CDs in alphabetical order. Certainly growing up it just wasn't a thing. Dare I ask all you lovely folk about your experiences?

Most Jews have a connection to or relationship with Israel. For me & many others, Zionism is simply the belief in Jewish self-determination - and it goes hand-in-hand with my belief in Palestinian self-determination. It absolutely does not mean support for the Israeli govt or military’s actions. 2/

Yes - to be a real force in the world, Europe needs to get on and create the weapons/software/LLMs which will give it true independence of the US and China.
