Keir Starmer says it's 'staggering' he wasn’t told Mandelson failed security vetting - live updates There is renewed anger about the ex-US ambassador's appointment after it emerged the Foreign Office did not tell the PM about Mandelson's vetting.

Yeah. If, by 'staggering' you mean impossible to believe..

I'm not saying don't watch it cos your reasons are probably mine, but don't blame me for the bitter aftertaste you're left with.

Wonderwall (film) - Wikipedia

You probably all know this is up for free on Prime, but if not..

The set-up is creepy af, and not even Jane Birkin, Irene Handl and a brief sight of Suki Potier can save it from the 'product of it's time' excuses.

Essential for historians and Harrison completists.

Thinking of the future today. Our post apocalyptic future.
And thinking about how I'll probably die way sooner than most cos instead of fighting over tinned peaches and cat carcasses, I'll waste my energy bitching and berating any Centrists I meet for leading us to this ridiculous place in time.

I trust you 1000% more than them..😀

This all hinges on people like Collins bullshitting the public that Centrism is some benign, concilliatory, common sense vibe rather than an aggressive, virulent, and calculating political movement designed to hard bake into society all existing prejudices, priveleges and inequalities in perpituity.

The piano track and the 'Sixteen stitches' line hit so much harder than the film version.

Was always confused over which came first, but The Kinks' 'Johnny Thunder' was definitely before 'Go To The Mirror'?
Wikipedia says so, but y'know..

Maybe I'm way off base but surely a British SNL would have worked better when anyone under 60 actually watched live TV on a Saturday Night?

Daryl Hall might have been the biggest star on the planet the second this was released. Cheesy? Of course.
Under-rated. Also yes.

Hey. I'd be glad of the 5 likes...😀

The looks you get when you tell people the whole lot needs tearing down are remarkable given the fucking obviousness of the situation.

Costello is rarely covered, and I get why. But when he is -annoyingly - it's usually better..

So, something good came out of it..

Brian's show was the first time I heard 'Saturday, round about Sunday' by The Humblebums.

Fun fact. He has a paint pot on his piano because he was paid to gloss Peter Powell's windowsills.

TBF this is a bit harsh on old Rod...

His 'Downtown Train' is far worse.

I think you can tell a lot about a person just from how they react to the piano riff from 'Werewolves of London'.

Or the first lines of 'Tom Traubert's Blues' when you realise it's Rod Stewart..😕

Which, to be honest, would only be half wrong..

TBF If I used this service, AI would assume I was a cat with a special interest in puppets..

I assume there will be checks and balances to ensure this corporate welfare cash-machine is effective in creating lasting opportunities rather than just a 'merry go round' of shitty short-term jobs?

But then again...

I'll never forget two slightly posh girls in my year playing 'Fresh Fields' one lunchtime..

Man pulls two tonne car along Yorkshire street with his testicles in 'UK first' A painter and decorator proved he's got balls of steel after becoming the first person in the UK to pull a car - with his testicles.
