Actually this article was often anthologies and isn not in my own anthology! Instead there is a shorter @NewStatesman article I did about the period! So if you like this sort of thing, here’s a chance to read one of the stories I remember best

Super fond of John Martyn and his LP Solid Air is an all time fave - but you won’t find this article in my new anthology Rebel Musix, Scribe On A Vibe, so enjoy it here and listen to Solid Air. But there are scads of other lovely reads in the book, so don’t be put off!

Donald Trump. An Apology.
The new Private Eye is out now
ALT A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

BREAKING NEWS:
Donald Trump says he will end automatic citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants.
Since Trump's family is of German descent, and not Native American, we can deport him and his family to Germany.

Presidents do not have to be saints, and we hope that a second term for Donald Trump would avoid disaster. But he poses an unacceptable risk to America and the world. If The Economist had a vote, we would cast it for Kamala Harris econ.st/3NKsH2r
