I LOVE THE INTERNET!!!🤣🤣🤣

Insert ‘worst boy band reunion ever’ joke here #GE2024

Iranian rapper, activist and hip-hop artist Toomaj Salehi has been sentenced to death by a court in Iran. Join me and @amnestyuk in calling on Iranian authorities to STOP Toomaj’s execution now. amnesty.org.uk/actions/free-t…

The very cool His Lordship @HisLordshiprock delivering maximum rock n roll at Tufnell Park Dome this week. A few dates left on the tour, so don’t be a buzzkill, be a Joyboy (or girl) and get along.

Such an interesting interview from @wrobinson101 with Marc-Alexander Christ, the founder of @SumUp on R4’s Gap Finders just now. Incredibly rapid growth and success in such a relatively short period is to be admired. Well worth a listen. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@jwhitey98 Today’s BBC File on 4 was especially prescient then: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

🚨💸 Understand that the UK government are close to agreeing a £3bn funding package for the North-East with Saudi Arabia. Here’s a deep-dive on what #NUFC’s Saudi links mean not just for the club, but the city. There’s more than silverware at stake. theathletic.com/4932881/2023/1…

@PSB_HQ Does this mean we can look forward to an early album launch stop-off at Kingston’s Pryzm again? 🙏

@_Brian_Hunter @UKLabour Nah, I just saw through your MO.

@DavidHobbsDH @UKLabour And you missed the point.

BBC news reports the so called “safe zone” in Gaza is without water. In other news @uklabour MPs call on british fans of eurovision to vote for the Israeli entry, (against the british entry) with the motivating call “you can vote 20 times”. #patrioticLabour #voting

225 - one of their finest but so many to choose from in the New Model Army @officialnma canon. Another superb evening of communal singing at @RoundhouseLDN. 44 years and still going as strong as ever 💪

@Islington_AH @billybragg @JackValeroMusic @hopenothate @lottieasa BB class as ever but Jack Valero was a superb opener. Great songs and great band 👍

@billybragg took over our stage again last night. Opened by his talented son @JackValeroMusic Presented by @hopenothate Thanks to everyone who joined us! 📸 @lottieasa #billybragg #jackvalero #hopenothate #islingtonassemblyhall #livemusic #gig

A coming of age. Three weeks shy of my first @billybragg gig at Kendal Brewery Arts Centre in 1984, I’m back for my 21st, another @hopenothate benefit, and he was joined by his son @JackValeroMusic. A great gig as ever. Thanks for the music and the activism boost, Bill

@johnharris1969 A period of quiet reflection after resigning the seat might have been a good start. And then just more quiet, perhaps.

Natalie Elphicke is just a sign of deep, deep Tory rot. On a completely cynical level, it's obvious why the Labour leadership like it. But it's the stuff of shapeless, opportunistic grimness. They could have just told her where to get off

What a voice, what a band and what a gig from Ellur @ellurmusic at The Grace tonight. Leeds, Manchester, get in the Saturday mood, you’re in for a treat.

@NME Sure that's not Henry Rollins?

Mike Myers unveils new look in rare public appearance bit.ly/44mDHKz

@JonnElledge Didn't realise this was brand new. Saw someone with a copy on the tube late last night and thought 'that looks an interesting read'. She was asleep but I won't take that as the verdict. Good luck with it!

LIES

Terrible photos but the music tonight from Holiday Ghosts @ghosts_holiday at @moth_club was just sublime - a band on top form. Caught a great set from @poziband too. Look forward to seeing more of them. Don’t forget, support your independent venues!
