2021 Remaster "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood YouTube video by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

As it's Prince's 10th anniversary, time to revel in this, again and again and again. Wait for it, wait for it... BANG. Eye-popping stuff, and then off he trots. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWRC...

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake..

Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted.

Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.

Farage saying don't deny visas due to speech

Farage minion wanting to deny visas to whole countries based on speech of their government he disagrees with

Free speech news

For how how long have we been told that the US has this fabulous written Constition whereas we do not?

But the US Constitution has been shown to be the emperor with no clothes

It might as well be a blank sheet of paper

It might as well not exist

The US is acting entirely on the whim of one man

Trump’s maddest post yet.

The bravest man Nigel Farage has ever met…

‘This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.’

Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

Unbelievable. King Charles is STILL set to fly to the US to celebrate with Trump in April. With everything Trump is saying and doing right now - and the hate and chaos he's spreading - this trip must be cancelled. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

My Easter reading:
"..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."

I don’t think I’ve ever been so worried. 9/11 was viscerally terrifying; Iraq war; Brexit; Russian invasion of Ukraine and seizure of Crimea, withdrawal from Afghanistan, October 7; Gaza slaughter; Sudan; so many awful events; but nothing is proving as globally catastrophic as the election of Trump.

... So that's a plus of at least £87 billion a year if we rejoin the EU. 😊

Turns out marmalade won't have to be renamed despite Reform claims The new rule was introduced because some EU countries use 'marmalade' and 'jam' interchangeably - and is intended to protect the distinctiveness of Paddington's favourite spread

It's a day of the week with a "y" in it so of course Reform are lying to you.

This is absolutely fantastic.

In a blatant act of provocation yesterday, Sadiq Khan allowed Christians to perform the Passion of Jesus in Trafalgar Square - a disgraceful show of dominance by a religion from the middle east.

To be clear, we totally can pretend it's not our war on the simple basis that it isn't.

How the BBC and Daily Mail Spread Reform's ‘Family Voting’ Lies The real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election

Special Report: Why MAGA hates Britain

Really interesting (slash terrifying) investigation by @lewisgoodall.com for The News Agents on what MAGA think is happening in Britain - open.spotify.com/episode/3JSY...

These are wonderful

Lying about your own country in return for money from a foreign power. There should be a word for that.

This is pure Alan Partridge.

First class stuff.

Absolutely. GMP states: "For an investigation to meet the criminal threshold for prosecution, we require admissible evidence of intent or action aimed at influencing the vote." So incessant whingeing and racist dog-whistles don't meet the evidential threshold? Pah!

That did not go as planned 😭

Here is a quick masterclass on how to maintain a blatant lie even when directly confronted with the truth.

Cap on donations from overseas electors and ban on crypto donations to protect democracy Landmark changes to protect UK democracy from scourge of foreign actors and financial influence are set to come into force.

This is great news: an immediate ban on political donations in cryptocurrency & a £100k cap on donations from UK citizens abroad.

Yes, there's more that needs doing, & the door is left open to crypto in future. But we should celebrate (& applaud) the wins when they come.
