Yes, Starmer has an obvious and demonstrable blindspot when it comes to paedophilia. Yes, he is untrustworthy and entirely lacking in moral principle. And yet he's the best bloody prime minister we have ever had!

“Songwriter” is an interesting thing to evaluate. I’ll listen to a song by US Maple and cannot believe how it unfurls, resolves, feels loose, tight, splotchy, complete. Songwriting is about form as much as it is about vocal delivery and lyrics. It’s why Joni is the best.

@msloobylou @barneyfarmer Little known fact is that the chaps spent some time in Jamaica before embarking on their much loved reggae stuff.

They’re a fave rock/pop band of virtually every Tory who takes an interest in such things, beloved of the two LPs a year from the supermarket/service-station morass, and a fair rump of sensibles got sucked in by an ‘ironic’ 90s reappraisal of Bohemian Rhapsody. Huge huge numbers.

Freddie Mercury was very talented but at what point is everyone going to admit that Queen has like five good songs. Nobody fucks with them like that outside of random internet polls where they’re treated like competition to the Beatles.

The gall of it. Watson, one of Mandelson’s closest old mates is trying to turn McSweeney into a victim & undermine Emily Thornberry. Watch out for the old Blairites’ next step which will be to try rehabilitate Mandelson himself. Shameful & shameless. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Now that's a day for a beer garden lads. What say you @MichaelDugher @tom_watson @mattforde? Conor McGinn has deleted his account because of drunken sexual assault allegations and a live criminal case. So cant ask him.

@jasemonkey It's worth remembering he put his head above the parapet to seek the truth, let him have his day in court before you judge and ridicule him.

Going out for pints tonight with the lads (@MichaelDugher, @tom_watson and @mattforde). Conor McGinn has deleted his account because of drunken sexual assault allegations and a live criminal case. So not sure if he will be out.

The 50 best bands of all time according to Rolling Stone magazine. Who got left out, and which band is ranked a little too high?

.@popbitch has a weird obsession with me. Thus week it goes too far and accuses me of drinking the i paper’s horrid skimmed milk. I don’t, of course, drink such stuff.Instead I keep my own whole milk (illustrated)?in our shared fridge.
