On Friday I had the enormous pleasure of seeing Anna B Savage and her band at the Union Chapel in London which was the most beautiful music in in the most beautiful venue. Absolutely spellbinding @annabsavage.bsky.social

As I’m an old romantic I walked past what was the old “Warwick Arms” where I first met my wife in 1992. It’s now a rather run down Oriental Supermarket #rdguk #ValentinesDay

Listening to Antisocial on BBC Radio 4 today I’m struck by people complaining about things such as foreign language announcements on trains in the UK. Presumably these people have never travelled abroad where the use of English announcements on public transport is common #BBCAntisocial

Dominic Cummings, who orchestrated a movement against “unelected elites” now wants the civil service and others in UK government replaced by unelected elites. Worth a read if you need a chuckle www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

I guess once you’re done with genocide, then ethnic cleansing for a real estate opportunity is a logical capitalist next step #r4today www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...

Starmer needs to wake up to this too. There’s no dealing with Trump and his cronies. The only behaviour they understand is a firm “no”. Don’t give him an inch or he will be back for the rest. #Trump2.0 #r4today
