If you like the kind of #Reggae you can drift off to (think Augustus Pablo type vibes) - you might like this as much as I do. The album reminds me a little of Cymande - hazy funk with a dollop of jazz and then an occasional reggae tune thrown in for good measure: open.spotify.com/track/31zedQ...

Where am I? Any guesses?

Burnham has been front and centre across the media since he took office, taking the lead on everything from early release to disposable barbecues, but hundreds of masked men disrupt the country's most important port and it's wheel out the minions with muted murmurings of condemnation.

Dear reader, I have been left, unattended, in the RAT room. What's to become of me?!?

Hi @sainsburys.bsky.social - How about you lead by good example and use some of the £393,000,000 profits you made last year? You could feed a LOT more hungry people with that, than I could by donating my 150 Nectar points. #JustSaying

Nigel Farage and Reform are dodgy AF.

Incredible moment in the doc when Farage’s right-hand man Dan Jukes lists several foreign donors who’ve given money to the party via their kids. It’s not just one or two backers - it’s a huge conspiracy cooked up by the party to break the law. It’s bigger than we even thought

Cannot tell you good people how much I’ve enjoyed the “10 bands I’ve seen live” chat today. Not just chat about the bands, cos we’ve all seen HUNDREDS more than the 10 on our lists, but I’ve LOVED the memories and the depth of feeling we have for music. I’m buoyed by your company, my friends. ❤️
