Ok I have watched this at least ten times:
Kamala Harris uses sign language to say she supports ending language deprivation for deaf kids.
This is why I love Kamala Harris.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just announced if he wins, he will lift sanctions on Russia and Iran. This is why Putin was paying millions to Republican influencers. He’s bought control of Trump’s party. Retweet so all Americans see this alarming announcement.

Tommy Robinson deleted this Tweet, as it accidentally had his lawyer telling him in the bottom right corner that he will no longer represent him.
You know what to do.

A man who thinks that people shouting at him in the street is a “threat to democracy” is tonight leaving his would be constituents in Clacton in order to raise money for a man who provoked a riot in order to subvert a democratic vote and who insists any court Verdict against him must be a conspiracy organised from the White House. Spare me the synthetic BS Nigel. You’re never happier than when playing the victim, talking process and avoiding questions on actual issues that require an actual policy response .
Tonight @cafehash9 @ThePatterers with @jasonbuck present Execution Ballads. This is our first time in Sheffield and we’re excited. There’s not many tickets left so. It now if you can, it makes a big difference to us #Folk #ExecutionBallads #HurdyGurdy #fiddle #guitar #harmonica

Nick Robinson: "there were three different prime ministers in a year, four different chancellors in a year, a home secretary sacked for six days then hired again and sacked again a year later, a prime minister who was forced out of office because he was judged to be lying by his own colleagues in Parliament, and another who even *you* think crashed the economy: Why on earth should people give the Conservatives another team?"
Rishi Sunak (long pause) "I'm really proud of what the Conservatives have done in office, when we came into office 14 years ago Labour had bankrupted the economy"
Great to catch up with the @JK_Musician gang in Lancaster and join them for Battle of Whitehall. They were on top firm as ever and there’s still some more dates on their tour stuff you can still catch them

I’m worried about a narrative that has been developing and I want to put this out there:
1. You can be pro-Israel and still care about people dying in Palestine.
2. You can be pro-Palestine and care about the terror in Israel and releasing hostages.
Both can be true.
We love playing at Temperance. If you want to come and hear some new songs from us please by a ticket now, eventbrite.co.uk/e/execution… – at Lancaster, England
This ballad is listed in the VWMI @TheEFDSS as being in the Bodleian collection. If you look there, it’s just a mention of it in a catalogue. We’re happy to have discovered it after lots of searching, through a chance encounter at our folk club 1/2 m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

The highlight of my very busy weekend was hearing my composition ‘ Barriers’ played by the strings and percussion of the CBSO at the CBSO centre in Birmingham. Thanks to Holli Pandit and CBSO Young Ambassadors for arranging it.
Special thanks to my colleague/ friend / mentor @beahubble without whom this would never have happened. – at Macclesfield, England
