Thank you to everyone who donated to @bcrt-uk.bsky.social after my recent tour shows.

You gave over £15,000!

It all helps find a cure for bone cancer so that in the future people don’t have to get carved in half like I did.

Even better, more people will live.

Thank you.

The latest Political Party is the fascinating inside story of the UK/EU trade deal with the man who negotiated it, Nick Thomas-Symonds.

What’s in the deal and what impact will it have?

Did he have to drink Slovakian red wine to get the deal done?
