Point your ears towards the In Tune Christmas Special on BBC Radio 3 at 5pm UK time today, if you please! There's a FEAST of live performances to get you in the festive spirit, including ourselves!

#TheLongestJohns #Radio3 #BBC #ChristmasSpecial #InTune
A picture of TLJ sound-checking on the stage for the Radio 3 In Tune Christmas Special. The colouring is largely tones of red. Robbie, Andy, and JD are stood at microphones, and behind them is a large screen with the In Tune and Radio 3 logos visible. High up above, suspended from the ceiling, are various lights. A very yellow picture of the band having a more relaxed time on some comfy grey sofas, where some kind of stone sculpture can be seen behind them, then high up above is a lot of text in Latin that your humble alt-texter is not equipped to read or translate.

Last week our Patrons got to watch our hot takes on the new musical, Wicked: For Good. Sami Matarante was kind enough to come back and give her thoughts, we had so much fun with her talking about these films. Enjoy! #Wicked #WickedForGood #Patreon

People should talk much more about this

This email exchange basically proves that Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump, which means that Trump is compromised by Russia and explains why he refuses to pressure it.

As a result, Trump should not be involved in negotiations on Ukraine.

Why is no one talking about this?

We managed to grab our dear friends Kimber's Men for a song while they were passing through Bristol, and here's what we did! Nothing fancy, just six voices and a mic. Enjoy ❤️

A poster for the upcoming 'Ends of the Earth' tour from The Longest Johns. It shows Robbie, Andy, and JD arranged against a luscious verdant backdrop of tropical-looking foliage. Robbie is crouched down in a colourful shirt, holding a camera. Andy has a hat on and a dark blue shirt with a picture of feathers on it, and JD is wearing a swanky green suit whilst reclining in an armchair. Behind Robbie is what appears to be some kind of wooden cabinet, with an old timey wireless radio on top. There is also a lamp in the background. The tour dates are as follows: May 2026 Fri 08 - Dublin, Academy Sat 09 - Belfast, The Limelight 2 Mon 11 - Liverpool, O2 Academy Tue 12 - Lancaster, Kanteena Wed 13 - Glasgow, Old Fruit Market Fri 15 - Newcastle, Old Fruit Shop Sat 16 - Manchester, Academy 2 Sun 17 - Leeds, Irish Centre Tue 19 - Oxford, O2 Academy Wed 20 - Cardiff, Tramshed Fri 22 - Exeter, Phoenix Mon 25 - Southampton, the 1865 Tue 26 - Cambridge, Junction Wed 27 - London, O2 Shepherds Bush Empire Thu 28 - Nottingham, Rock City Sat 30 - Bristol, Beacon

1/5 Do Belgium and the rest of the EU want even more Ukrainian blood on their hands?

If not, release Russia’s frozen assets now.

After almost four years of full-scale war, Russia still occupies none of the 23 regional-capital or special-status cities that Ukraine held at the start of the invasion.

0/23! A strategic failure that Putin would prefer you ignore.

What does it say about Russia and its war on Ukraine that Russia’s troop losses are 2–3 times higher than Ukraine’s, while Ukraine’s civilian deaths are 20–50 times higher than Russia’s?

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.
