Rishi Sunak tries to attack Keir Starmer over the “definition of a woman” as Brianna Ghey’s mother looks on from the public gallery. Grim. #PMQS

NEW SINGLE ‘THE DYING LIGHT’ RELEASES 7 APRIL (NEXT THU) The Dying Light brings together the luscious sounds of the 80s and the dynamics of modern synth-pop, all coming together in a huge electro-rock chorus. It also marks our first single released through @aztec_records!

If clinging to the carcass of 'Corbynism' has left you defending the inane heckling of man talking about his dying mother, it's still not too late to let go.

Watched TIME. Bloody hell. If @stephengraham73 and Sean Bean don't get major awards recognition I will be amazed. Some of the most brilliantly low-key show-don't-tell performances in memory. Superb stuff. Overwhelming.

Leonard Cohen recounting his afternoon of "shop talk" with Bob Dylan
'84 in Paris: Dylan & LC were having coffee. Dylan asked LC how long it took to write "Hallelujah"; LC lied & said 2 yrs when it was 4 yrs. LC asked Dylan how long it took to write "I & I"; Dylan said 15 mins. LC suspected Bob was fibbing, too. "Might have taken him a half hour."
