An absolute shit show. It had been looking like a disaster waiting to happen for a while now but this confirms it. Had a chance to offer an alternative, blown it. Meanwhile Zack Polanski has nipped in and taken the ball.

Corbyn and Sultana at odds over Your Party leadership as conference opens
Delegates to chose between electing a single leader or a collective of lay members to run the leftwing movement
The two most prominent figures in Your Party are still divided over how it should be run as its inaugural conference kicked off this weekend.
Jeremy Corbyn confirmed to journalists on Saturday that he preferred a single leader and is likely to stand for the role but Zarah Sultana, his co-founder, said she would vote for collective leadership and that she does not believe parties should be run by “sole personalities”. Continue reading...

The Prime Ministers: The Pioneers (2013) - Documentary about Israeli prime ministers and a pretty terrible watch. It lacks any real documentary skill. A dry monologue, spliced with historic news footage and certain speeches voiced by well known actors. SB provides the voice of Golda Meir #SBwatch

I am on a training course. It is dreadful, I’d been hanging in there best I could but don’t think I can cope much more with the fella just reading a script with minimal interaction. Think I’m better off just googling the key facts and trying some past papers. I’m learning very little 😩

Book 22: Northline - I love Vlautin’s books so much I’m not sure I can been objective about them anymore. This is a sad story delicately told with a lightness of touch that ultimately leaves you feeling hopeful about the chance of finding a way to survive no matter how far you fall #chopsbooks
Book 21: Murder in the Mews - Four short stories from Agatha. All long enough to get my brain ticking over and all neatly wrapped up by Poirot #chopsbooks

Would love to go to this but it’s J’s birthday and I am not that foolhardy!
Anyway, you should consider going if you’re near to that London and love ace bands playing cool venues.

We are delighted to announce that our support in London on December 16th will be Manchester's NICO HARMONY, described by Louder Than War as "like a Lana Del Ray from a rainy city."
This will be Nico's London debut.
The stellar skipratmedia will assume DJ duties.

A brilliant night at The Lex watching Slime City celebrate the release of brilliant second album, National Record of Achievement. I had to sell my front row ticket for Tune-Yards but no way I’d want to miss this one #chopsgigs #slimecity @slimecitymusic.bsky.social @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social

I did have a somewhat ridiculous journey home post Slime City gig. Stayed for a drink with a pal which was nice but meant I was later leaving the Lex than planned.
Walked back to Kings X (should have gone to Angel), went via Bakerloo to Waterloo (should have stayed on Vicky line to Vauxhall) /1
