It took a visit to US Congress to remind us just how lily-livered our media is when it comes to holding Nigel Farage to account…

Daily Mail say today we need Farage and Reform to save the country. A reminder of the role the Mail played in getting us into this mess.

Finally put up my favourite cartoon of all time.
I may be biased & yeah, I do think satire is when a car has been parked in a particularly comfortable position, but I honestly think this is one of the greatest & most beautiful pieces of social commentary ever.

“We’re going to do the Environment Agency’s job for it."
@NickFerrariLBC has challenged @Feargal_Sharkey to test the toxicity of England’s rivers.
First up is the River Avon in Bristol…

Paul Heaton is the most amazing musical performer Britain has ever had.
You can watch him gig for £35 and most of the songs you’ll recognise from your childhood, or parents song list.
He went 30 years without a music award, played NHS gigs for free & gave money to 40 “Q Magazine” Staff when they lost their jobs.
Have a listen to his music today - your soul will thank you later. [@PaulHeatonSolo]

“When civil disobedience is punished more severely than racist rioting, something has gone badly wrong” - spot on from @GeorgeMonbiot👇 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

The Media talk about the 15% pay increase Train Drivers got over 3 years, and demand to know where it comes from.
But not the 38% pay increase Bankers on £500,000+ got in one year.
And BTW you pay for that too, in mortgage/rent payments.

Are the UK's racists ever going to wake up to the pretty obvious fact - that they are being used by snooty fascist politicians - who are taking them for complete mugs?
Please RT after voting - thank you.
74%No they never will
26%Maybe when it's too late
195 votes • Final resultsIndeed.
This is not on the current govt, just weeks in office.
But failing to do exactly what so many are asking/expecting would be.
The rest of us need to pick a side.
Book burning, bigoted thugs are never on the right side of any debate.
@Keir_Starmer & @YvetteCooperMP.

Watching the far right set fire to the newly reopened Spellow Hub library in Liverpool should be lesson enough on how much these thugs really care about “communities” and “young children.” Let none of these thugs pretend they are motivated by anything other than racism and hate.
Hi @DOOGEE_official
My phone - an S61 - has been great.
Recommended it to lots of folks as a great rugged @Android handset... but seems it is no longer
Play Protect certified, so can't use it to pay for things anymore. Worked perfectly until a few weeks ago...what do I do?

Wonder if any of the established MCR music folks can help out (yet another) venue in a time of need?
Our city thrives in part because such places are tucked away, adding so much to our culture, & giving a first chance for many to face an audience.
Any input, @musicvenuetrust ?
The event aims to raise £15,000 to secure future of the venue manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…
An overtly politicised judiciary should concern everyone, left or right. History suggests it is always a slippery slope.
Last week, we heard prisons are full, non violent inmates would be released/reduced etc. UK is skint, allegedly & @JustStop_Oil 5 = maybe £1m in jail costs.🤔
Today's decision emanating from Southwark Crown Court is an outrage . It is an attack on our civil liberties , we must defend our right to peaceful protest .
@AttorneyGeneral , please meet with us urgently . This grotesque miscarriage of justice must be fixed .
