“Most artists are concerned about how long they’ll be around. I’m concerned about how long my music will be around.”
- Prince
On this day 2016, Prince passed at 57. It's been a decade since the end of The Purple Reign. Stunning musician, Rock, R&B, Pop & Funk legend, beyond brilliant guitarist.
Absolutely appalling
The living legend, the genius that is David Byrne, lucky enough to see his Manchester, UK show a few weeks ago, just incredible 🥰
The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.
Nick Candy, the treasurer of Reform UK, has sold his Chelsea family home for £270m in London’s most expensive house sale.
Just a bunch of ordinary blokes!
We just missing this guy

Stunning 😍
I see Fagash Farage has now pledged to end the smoking ban.
What a cunt.
This has to be one of the most underrated songs ever, it is pure genius 🥰
Greatest 'pop' song ever and karaoke got to 🥰
Today in Kent:
Reform UK councillors voted themselves an above inflation and above recommendation pay rise 💴
Overruled their own legal officer 📜
Silenced opposition voices 🔇
Ignored Electoral Commission guidance ⚖️
And rammed through a political stunt during purdah 🚫🗳️
It is awesome, so why not 😊
Nigel Farage has called Welsh people “Foreign speakers” in a Cameo video.
We hate to break it to you Mr Farage, but if you read a history book you would realise English is more foreign in the UK than Welsh.
Vote to make it illegal to lie in Welsh elections was passed by the Senedd yesterday and surprise surprise look who voted against it.
Farage hates this video of him revealing his plans to sell off the NHS.
It would be a shame if it went viral again... 🫢

It’s official: Nigel Farage will say anything to line his own pockets.
He's not serious and simply not fit to be Prime Minister.

You will be unsurprised to hear that I have no problem with Richard Tice avoiding £600k in tax.

News story from the Guardian: Reform UK government would replace top civil servants with those ‘more like[ly] to implement party’s priorities’
Let us hope that they will never get the chance. It the UK electorate is stupid enough to vote in a Reform government, we are lost.
It is quite joyous knowing that every time Farage speaks on any subject Reform lose support across the country.
Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.
I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away.
But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.
Scum!
Who better to accuse others of being a laughing stock than the sexually incontinent compulsive liar who can't dress himself and combs his hair with a balloon?
“Dear Diary,
Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”
If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
How about non-British and non-dom citizens donating to political parties and owning media?
Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country.
It's got to hurt
🚨Gorton and Denton by-election
Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.
However you decide to vote please don’t fall for the politics of division offered by Reform

The former Labour PM Gordon Brown is right - don't vote for the lying snake-oil salesman Nigel Farage and his bunch of second-rate tories in Thursday's byelection in Gorton and Denton!
