I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Wow, only a few more weeks and you’ll be a published author! Seems ages since you announced you were writing it. Looks good. .
Front cover of a book, entitled 'Basingstoke Reinvented, 1800-1925, from Agricultural Town to Manufacturing Centre', edited by Jean Morrin. The title is white on a red band occupying the top third of the cover. Beneath are two views if the town from the same spot. The top (a black/white engraving), shows trees and thatched cottages. The lower image, a hand tinted photograph shows the 19th century streets that replaced the cottages, c. 1920.
Today is our annual #VCHDay where colleagues from around the country gather for a catch up and to share ideas, experiences and new publications.

I finally got to visit @themerl.bsky.social today and wasn’t disappointed. Very welcoming staff, interesting exhibits and a sheep stamp on my Cafe Loyalty Card. I will be returning!
I’m in Basingstoke and confirm it’s hot here!
Just finished the book, it was a really good read.
Yes please!
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

That made me look them both up and I see where you’re coming from now!
Hilarious! Couldn’t have avoided laughing if I wanted to.
It was great to meet up with fellow AGRA members at our visit to Swindon's Heritage Trail and a tour of Steam - the Museum of the Great Western Railway. I'd recommend the heritage trail to anyone with an interest in social, industrial or railway history.

I saw that at the cinema when I was aged 7 as it was my older sister’s favourite book. I was NOT prepared for what I saw! Still traumatised nearly 50 years later. 10 year old sister loved it, but she did know what was coming.
In these difficult days thank goodness for the Daily Star. Please share this with Trumpy friends
