@Henry_Raby The Xtrmntr album is your best bet for this. But no, Primal Scream aren't typically overtly political in their music.

Great news for @SarahWimbush. She's a regular and former headliner at @ChemistryPoetry, has been a headliner at @WordsontheWall1, and has done numerous other events with me, most recently at @LeedsLit. And now she's shortlisted for the Forward Prize. So pleased for her :)

@claresitafisher @rachelebower @BloomsburyBooks @stephsby Oh, I didn't even know this was a thing. I'll have to have a read some time.

Absolutely blown away by @rachelebower's debut novel from @BloomsburyBooks. Heartbreaking and hopeful, it had me gripped from the start and I know already that it's characters will stay me with me a long time.

@mattabbottpoet Compare to Boris Johnson's election in 2019. He immediately sprang into action by going on a luxury 10-day holiday to a villa in Mustique, hosted and paid for by multi-millionaire Tory donor and political lobbyist David Ross.

I'm clinging to the hope that Starmer did what he (believed he) needed to do in order to be elected. And that the reality will be much more palatable 🤞🏻

@JakeWildHall @NadiaWhittomeMP Same situation here with my excellent local candidate (and my MP, before the dissolution of Parliament)

Thanks @NadiaWhittomeMP for making it so much easier to vote for a party I have believed In for so long. I wish I could be more excited for a Labour government. VOTE THE TORY’S OUT!

We're doing things a bit differently for next month's Chemistry. Instead of the usual two headliners, we'll be showcasing some of our recently-published regulars. Plus the usual open mic and optional theme. Come and join us at @ChemicTavern in Leeds.

@theleedslibrary today to listen to @SarahWimbush reading from Strike & being interviewed by @JoeWilliamsPoet So much of Sarah’s writing & responses resonated with my experience of living in the Sth Yorks Coalfield in 1984. A powerful combo of words and pictures @leedslit
