Just finished work out and going on the bike. I am really tired now but got to have a rest now before my salad. Then take pudsey out later then go on the bath and chill out later. I am going to put the Christmas album by the incredible @elizacarthy.bsky.social and @jonboden.bsky.social

Listening to the lovely new CD from Martin Carthy. 84. EIGHTY FOUR for fuck's sake. He suits the old defiant raddled voice better than Dylan. The guitar playing is all full of space and air, but I swear, the TOUCH, still. Just full of wonder and love for this. ❤️

I'm trying to raise a bit of money to send books to a new Mobile Library being set up specifically to support the homeless in London.

It's being organised by the charity "PINT Giving".

I'm donating £100 & if you can help too, i'd be so grateful.

More info here.

Imagine you’re living and working here, perfectly legally. You’re building a home and a life, maybe starting a family

Then Farage says he intends to throw you out of the country

How the hell must that feel?

If you’re in Shropshire, would you talk to me about this?

Reform plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain for migrants

The party says scrapping the scheme and restricting migrant access to benefits will save hundreds of billions of pounds.

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

Just wonderful.
Virtuoso guitar and a now richly venerable voice. And some breathtaking arrangements, accompanied by Sheema Mukherjee on sitar and @elizacarthy.bsky.social on fiddle and voice.

Let me swim in a jug of this.
