SOUND ON!! The music itself is great. It’s that every weekend, every summer for the last 6 years, I have no say in whether I’d like blasting music or a bit of quiet. Often I struggle to hear the tv. And yes we tried a polite approach and they turned the volume up. It’s Pearson Avenue in Hull.

Anita Datta and I talk about HUO ethos & present our ‘new myth’ opera, “The Children of Beverley Gate”. Congratulations to the local kids, volunteer performers, soloists and musicians (shout out to Charles on Musical Saw and Philip on Theorbo) who all excelled. More at this year’s Freedom Festival!

The reason Trump believes crazy shit is because he’s too ignorant and lazy to examine what Steven Miller tells him. He’s the perfect stooge for Miller, Netanyahu, Putin…

Come on #Labour supporters… do the right thing & vote tactically to keep out Reform! If the boot were on the other foot, I honestly believe the @greenparty.org.uk followers would vote for you, if they were in 3rd place & unlikely to win. Know your enemy. Unite for what’s right! ✊ #GortonAndDenton

The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened." REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar. Grow a spine.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.
