Yet another mixed-race couple in our British adverts. Sadiq Khan's Britain.

There was always a strange line up somewhere in the ads in the music papers in the 80s. But, Discharge supporting Slade is one I don't remember spotting at the time.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Krishnan Guru Murthy, "Isn't it a bit insulting to say to an Indian doctor who is working 60-70 hours a week that in order to get settled status he's got to volunteer?"

Rachel Reeves, "We want people to contribute if they come to our country"

Not saying exactly where we are. But, we're in East Lancashire and it's our first badger visit of the evening.

I keep trying, but I'm going to have to give up. It's dreadful. Watching the new Mitchell and Webb show reminds me of a 12 year old me listening to a Derek and Clive LP. But, without the surrealism, or, indeed, the humour.

I'm sitting outside The Flower Pot Man shop in Blackpool. Tony, the owner, has just come out wearing a pair of huge comedy ears. I can't help but feel that there ought be more of this sort of thing.

Hugely impressed by the policies. Hugely impressed by him not dodging questions and providing honest answers. Hugely impressed by his ability to empathise with, and understand, people who currently have a very different understanding of the political landscape.

Trump says domestic violence is not a crime.

Why did we expect Starmer might have something to say? He still invited him on a state visit knowing he's a rapist, too.
Foreigners from a backwards, woman-hating culture are influencing our politics & spreading dangerous, degrading messages about domestic violence.

But Keir Starmer has invited their leader to a banquet with the king.

@uklabour.bsky.social How does this fit in with your VAWG agenda?🤦‍♀️
