Poetry is gripping stuff in the hands of the scandalously talented John Hegley: Clerkenwell ARTSlab at The Betsey Trotwood, 7 June 2023. diegobrown.com/?p=889.

Poetry ace John Hegley leads a line-up of strength, depth and glasses to ClerkenWell ARTslab's JuneTuneFest. Kick-off 8:15pm at The Betsey Trotwood. Cake and dancing at full time. fb.watch/kGaXu-cgAG/ via @FacebookWatch

The government’s #PlanningReform removes communities’ rights to a say on development, waters down environmental protections & lowers restrictions on housing quality. I asked my MP to tell the government to rethink its plans. Will you ask yours? act.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/ask-you…

John Hegley's Elevenses, 1 August 2020: Weather 🐝

Poet John Hegley makes a mazey run into the comedy box tomorrow, 11am. facebook.com/groups/IndoorF… With awesome animation from WORD! and VAR from Diego Brown & the Good Fairy.. @mellowbaku

There’s something rather significant about Boris Johnson speaking up for statues of dead white supremacists while Marcus Rashford speaks up for 1.3 million hungry British children of every creed & colour.

Footy is back and John Hegley is the starting line-up. Free to air for poetry fans everywhere. Saturday 20 June, 11am. facebook.com/groups/IndoorF…

@powellds Can't use overweening too often

Me being me I made sure our new report on EU “better” (less) regulation talked about both how hard it is to argue against a cleverly constructed frame, and also that it’s all Boris Johnson’s fault neweconomics.org/2020/01/reprot…

It is really sad to see racism again at a football match, but I think it's very important to talk about it in public. If not, it will be forgotten again in a couple of days (as always). (1/4)

@dickymoo My threads kills are nada but you could try Solutions Journalism storytracker.solutionsjournalism.org/issue_areas/

@dickymoo Thanks for this! Is there a place I can find out stuff like this on a daily basis?

Ch4 replace him with an ice sculpture and he threatens their status. @afneil challenges him to appear, and he proposes removing the BBC’s license funding. Now he grabs a reporter’s phone: whenever this man is asked questions by the media, his response is to try to shut it down.

This is a heartfelt and genuine plea. Please do not reward @BorisJohnson and @Conservatives for the manipulation, half truths, full lies and contempt of the people by giving them a majority. We can’t complain about Politicians if we elect the worst. #votetacticallynottribally

Hi @allisonpearson, Glad you deleted this tweet, but I see no apology to the parents you smeared by claiming they faked the photo of their sick 4-year-old sleeping on the hospital floor. I saved a screenshot. If enough people retweet will you do the right thing and apologise?

One of only two people will form a government after this election. Johnson: a lying, cheating schemer, who'll give this country to billionaires and offshore capital. Or Corbyn: who is sometimes bloody frustrating, but seeks a fairer, kinder, greener nation. How hard can this be?

We’re aware of Conservative Party Facebook adverts using edited BBC content. This is a completely unacceptable use of BBC content which distorts our output and which could damage perceptions of our impartiality. We are asking the Conservatives to remove these adverts.

@SpursOfficial Exactly how is this supposed to help?

@NairnsOatcakes Thanks for the info. Wondering what deadline you've set yourselves for cracking the problem?

@NairnsOatcakes Big fan of the oatcakes. When are you going to find a non plastic alternative to the inner packaging?

Ian Austin, 1 year as a junior minister at DCLG, says he won't vote for Labour. Wall-to-wall coverage. Ken Clarke, 9 years as Secretary of State, including as Chancellor, says he won't vote for the Conservatives. Silence. Balanced election coverage?
