I wrote sleevenotes for a reissue of Tenniscoats' We Are Everyone. It was really nice to spend time with this amazing record and give some serious thought to their place in things. First time on vinyl via A Colourful Storm. @monorailmusic.bsky.social monorailmusic.com/products/ten...

Tenniscoats - We Are Everyone

Tenniscoats are one of the greatest groups of the 21st Century. They dazzle light into the void so that others can find a way through. First time on vinyl for one of their key early records, We Are Ev...

What are the Government, police and security services doing about the people who are quite clearly in the pay of a hostile foreign state, and using their platforms to whip up actual pogroms on our streets? This is a major national security issue and absolutely nothing seems to be happening about it

I take full responsibility but I won't resign. I will listen harder and work harder and sack a few of my colleagues. I'm looking forward to winning next time round.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.
