The vibe is jelly shot vomit,
most of my friends have left.
Swastika seagulls gulp down
middle-finger kebabs,
dished out by a man
in a MAGA hat
barely hiding his lizard brain.
Get out of your beanbag chair,
find your coat among the pimp furs.
Let’s go somewhere we can talk.

Here’s Michelle Obama’s full remarks tonight. If you weren’t able to listen live, I encourage you to listen when you have the time.
It’s of the best DNC speeches I’ve heard over the course of the last half a century.

Feeling saddened by the violence in the UK at the moment, but remembering the words of the American actor/comedian Patton Oswalt after the Boston bombing. Hugs to all my friends and countrypeople, especially those being targeted. #UKriots #HopeNotHate

Received this note at #WOMAD from a teacher: I remember those workshops at #thomastallis school and also #kidbrooke in Greenwich.
An extraordinary weekend at Hip Yak Poetry Shack @WOMADfestival
Sometimes the sun does shine, the people do come and the shows work and everywhere you go, in a festival of 40,000 people, they stop to tell you that they love the poetry stage and how much it matters to them. 🙏

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)

“We are facing a crisis point...but the work of change has begun”.
Our Secretary of State for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs @SteveReedMP lays out his plan for change.
This is truth
Steve Reed, "If we control our own energy in this country: wind, wave, solar and nuclear, we don't have to import fossil fuels.. Then the actions of foreign dictators like Putin don't affect us, it keeps us safer, it cuts energy bills as well, because clean energy is cheaper than fossil fuel energy"
"It's cheaper to have our own clean energy than to drill it in the north sea" #BBCQT

First 24 hours on the job as Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. It was a pleasure to meet the brilliant civil servants.
My message- together, we will deliver the bold energy and climate plan our country needs.
