I'm not a Labour Party member or voter. But they REALLY need to get their shit together because I believe they're is a real chance Farage can get in next time. Genuinely concerned for the way the UK is going.
I'm off to Fishguard International Festival today with Stevens & Pound. Looking forward to playing Holst, Vaughan Williams and Beatles!

The wonderful @privateeyenews.bsky.social point this kind of stuff on a regular basis but this probably tops the lot re Brexit. And it's very disrespectful to readers and voters. Thanks to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for this!
😄 🤣
Did you just shit out Donald Trump?
Who's seen Adolescence then? Unbelievable drama. Arguably one of the best I've ever seen if not the best.
Alongside the serious nature of the show I also think it's a massive advertisement for how the Government should be funding the arts and arts education.
They are beyond awful. I remember when people were trying to persuade me that Starmer would be radical in office. Hmm.

I trust the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social to do the right thing but I suspect I'll be wrong about that considering the other policies it's trying to introduce.
It taught me quite a lot about myself that 2nd book! Great work.
www.theguardian.com/money/2025/m... Another great policy to get people onto public transport and off the roads.
This. I stand with 🇺🇦 and 🇪🇺 and also the American people who didn't vote for this monster.
Europe definitely needs to be active as one voice now. Needs to put aside differences because Putin will see this as a signal to carry on and invade the Baltic states...
I've just seen a sign similar to this in Doolin, Ireland 🇮🇪 😀 😄 🤣 absolutely crying...
Lovely demo reel from @jennbutterworth.bsky.social and @willharmonicas.bsky.social just up on that YouTube. They're great! I still remember the first time I heard Will doing his thing in a floor spot at Sharp's folk club in London. Blew us all away, he did.

🔥 OK, let’s REALLY test out the power of this new Bluesky community.

And you know our 23,000 membership is now growing fast…
So - are we doing this? Are you IN?
Then join! 👇👇
A book I contributed too has been nominated for @npr.org book of the year in America! 🥳 🎉 🎶 🪗
