It's a mark of what's gone wrong with British politics that it's regarded as some kind of career-ending humiliation when a govt has to make concessions to Members of Parliament. We'd be much better governed if MPs found their backbones more often, & govts routinely had to respond to their concerns.

NEW: Channel 4 to broadcast the doc about Gaza medics ditched by BBC. The Beeb worried about partiality. C4 says they believe it is “duly impartial view of a subject that both divides opinion and frequently provokes dispute about what constitutes a fact”. Shown this Wednesday.

Keir Starmer tells the Welsh labour conference that Nigel Farage is a "wolf in Wall Street clothing." "Reform claim to be the party of patriotism, while sucking up to Putin, and abusing our armed forces online."

To think we got to watch Pulp and then Ezra Collective back to back, was supposed to be watching Father John Misty, but I can't switch off from this.

Amyl & the Sniffers are the real deal. Australia should have sent them to Eurovision.

Self Esteem should be headlining and not a tiny stage at Glastonbury.

London Centric has spent the afternoon doing what we do every afternoon: Auditing the illegal ice cream vans run by south London’s Sanli family on Westminster Bridge in central London.

Supergrass belting out the hits in #Bristol tonight. 🙂 plus low flying hot air balloon

Just come back from the most civil gig I've ever been to, Supergrass at the Bristol amphitheatre. I mean the getting there and back without fuss, cos Supergrass rocked the place. I'm not one for nostalgia usually, but hearing I Should Coco live in full was a lovely experience.

Great article if you need pointers of new artists you can catch at Glastonbury. Will definitely be checking out MRCY. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If Mick Jagger covered Brown Eyed Girl it would sound identical to Van Morrison's original recording.

Pop fact: thirty years ago tonight, Pulp were headlining Glastonbury, and at the exact same time, the first Saturday Night Armistice with @aiannucci.bsky.social went out on BBC2.
