KEG at #Twisterella ... not enough bands have a saxophone. The main man has a touch of Dave Thomas from Pere Ubu about him (one for the teenagers there).

Until yesterday, I'd thought that the prospect of City being expelled from the Premier League was quite unlikely. I expected that any sanctions, post appeal, would look like a reluctantly issued slap on the wrist. Now, I'm not so sure..

Burnham on Social Care in July: "I ask the media, can we not let the country look at this in a clear-eyed way without all of the overwriting? On this issue, please, can we not have a factual debate? Allow people to weigh up the options and come to a considered view based on the facts?" The media:

The fast-forward evolution of Anthony Gordon into #England fulcrum has been quite remarkable. Drive, intelligence, movement & energy. Absolutely bossing games. That's after just a few months at Barcelona. Speaking fluent Spanish too.

We've just heard a vision for Britain on big, big issues like social care, council housebuilding, public control of water, and making every vote count. I think everybody can get behind what Andy had to say today. #LabConf26

Andy Burnham's speech to Labour conference was excellent. Passionate, principled & explicitly putting the blame for the state of a stagnant, broken Britain on Thatcher's deindustrialisation, privatisation & the dismantling of the post-war consensus to put profit before people.

In 1956 the late great PETER CUSHING invited a film crew into his Kensington home to show off his hobby — painting miniature toy soldiers, and playing with them in the rules set down by fellow toy soldier hobbyist H.G. Wells.

A positive day at Labour Party Conference. Announcements on dealing with bogus self-employment, about owning our rail rolling-stock and bringing public services back in house. And I made the case for the great creative industries sector in Middlesbrough. #LabConf26

A fairer economy, genuine public control over life’s essentials, and a decent chance in life for our young people. That’s the circuit breaker this country needs. Well worth reading @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social recommendations for Andy Burnham in @labourlist.bsky.social labourlist.org/2026/09/paul...

Not everybody knows this, and everybody should. On Sept. 26, 1983, a Soviet nuclear warning system alerted Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov that the U.S. had launched a missile attack. He did not retaliate, preventing WWIII. This is a post about AI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanisl...

Anyway, what are you all listening to? Me, Protection, the often over-looked difficult second album from Massive Attack. Decent stuff, lots of spillage from Blue Lines, very self-referential. Prefer the dub version. #FridayNightIsMusicNight

I don't know whether to expect lots of asterisks in the record book as the Premier League strip Man City of their Lance Armstrong titles or dig in for a five year convoluted charge-by-charge appeals process. #mcfc

Middlesbrough right now is the epicentre of cutting edge modern art. MIMA is hosting the annual Turner Prize ceremony. This is really putting us in the spotlight, a big positive after a tough month and sets us up nicely for our City of Culture bid. Get yourself there.
