I have many friends who are interested in the Victorian period, and many who appreciate rebellious women from any era - this new book by Judy Cox should be an absolute treat...

I don't quite get Hammers business model. They cram every potboiler release with extras, have a YouTube channel and yet are still able to release something like this BlueRay magazine stacked with more content for geeks like me. I don't get how they do it but I love that they do!

100+ anti-racists faced down 30 or so flag-shagging zeros in Sheffield today. Including a spontaneous song session from people going to the Session Festival. Now that's what I call folk music!

What a day - half a million strong! Yaxley-Lenon and Ketamine Elon and Trump and whats-her-name Badenoch and Farage and the rest of the sewer dwellers and flag-shaggers got no conspiracy theory to cover this - YOU are the ones who don't belong here. #TOGETHER we are DYNAMITE!

I'm playing a couple of sets at the Sheaf View this Saturday. Folks songs, protest songs, Music Hall, ragtime and all sorts of shenanigans. Kick-off is 8pm and it's free. The way I look at it is if you don't come you'll only end up wasting that time enjoying yourselves.

Had fun playing at the Together Alliance rally in Sheffield today. No messing about, everyone down to London for the 28th.

"In a statement the International Guild of Pigs and Associated Farmyard Swine or the GPAS pointed out that they are sentient and show signs of self preservation but that doesn't seem to get them many rights." I wonder what Claude tastes like barbecued?

This Saturday at the Samuel Worth Chapel, Sheffield I'm playing a set as part of the Back to the Bones Festival event to raise funds to restart the Sharrow Festival. Protest songs, Music Hall, ragtime banjo and more! It's a great line up of local talent and I'm on at 7:15. Free admission too.

Thanks to everyone (and there were loads of you) who came to see Charlotte and I play the Samuel Worth Chapel here in Sheffield last night. They say a gig is only ever as good as it audience and we had a fantastic bunch last night. I'll be back on July 12th as part of the Sharrow Festival.

Angry anti racists confront the knuckle daggers of the so called Great National Strike in Sheffield. One strike I was glad to see broken.

Well if so called "boutique media" places are going to have so called "flash sales" on so called "pay day" then this sort of stuff is bound to happen...

I haven't looked forward to the arrival of a new book this much in ages. Story of a Murder by @hallierubenhold.bsky.social About Dr Crippen and the women around him. If this book is half as good as The Five it will be totally compelling and will give a voice to people denied it for a century.

Labour racists up to their old tricks again. The only way to oppose Farage is to out Trump him, apparently. What utter filth.

"Bella Lugosi Assails Antisemitism" "...it is a sin to think of any people of any race, colour or religion as less of a child of God than ourselves. A crime." "On whose side are we?" Bela Lugosi was a DUDE.
