My pinned tweet was months out of date, so I’m just popping by to say that it isn’t now.

Superb to see Farage’s opening press conference reduced to a shambles by a series of protestors. Soon there’ll be no-one left in the room.

You often get Out of Office replies to tour booking emails, but today's the first time I've had one saying the company has gone into administration.
A venue I first toured to twenty years ago. A lovely venue. Not a badly run one. Ladies and gentlemen, UK arts infrastructure in 2024.
This is fun, except - LibDem, left of centre? 🧐

Re the Diane Abbott debacle and related disgraces, I surely can’t be the first to coin the nickname Keir Stalin?
I thoroughly enjoyed The Bounds at @LiveTheatre. It starts as a fun caper about medieval football; it inflates and inflates like a pig's bladder, swallowing everything til by the end it's about war, nationalism, identity and almost all history since the reformation. Massive (1/2)

In light of the calling of the general election, I offer the following thread which I’ve been collating since December 2020…
Exactly a year ago there was a UK general election. It was won by the Conservative and Unionist Party based on their manifesto (assets-global.website-files.…) A manifesto is “a public declaration of policy and aims, especially”. Let’s (selectively) check in on some of those aims...
It’s strange to me that amid all the clamour about Damien Hirst’s works not being created when he says they were, people seem totally unbothered that they weren’t created by Damien Hirst.
Leeds United fans have an important early role to play in this general election campaign, in submitting Sunak to an almighty barracking when they meet his team in the playoff final this weekend. A couple of good chants could soundtrack the whole election summer. Suggestions?
