I’ve lived long enough to expect Labour governments to be disappointing. I was not prepared for this level of disappointment. I quit the party after Starmer’s ‘strangers in our own country’ remarks and have joined the Green Party.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

Done the same. And signed up for leafleting and door-knocking. Helps that my local MP and councillor are Greens.

The baby-man needs sectioning.

You should write a song about it in the manner of Jeff Lewis’s song about possibly seeing Will Oldham on the subway.

He’s been funded by dodgy Israeli sources for years.

Jenrick was born in 1982. So his daddy, the MD of Cannon Industries took his little six-year old from their comfortable home in the verdant Shropshire countryside to stand in the away end at Villa Park. Yes, of course that happened.

Well I was rooting for Martin Carthy but I guess he’s hardly up and coming. The Welsh Music Awards are much more interesting,

It’s clear from a number of threads I’ve seen on here that Labour are as rattled as f*** by Polanski.

Well, well Labour is rattled isn’t it? I quit Labour after Starmer’s disgraceful comments about an ‘island of strangers’ and have since joined the Greens. Polanski may have his faults but he’s easily the left’s best option. As for having a go because he was once in the Lib Dems? Grow the fuck up. 💚

My ‘clear the 6th form common room’ record was Kevin Coyne’s Marjory Razorblade. Nobody thought I was hip. Just odd.

And this from a Labour government. I despair. Vote Green. 💚
