Jeremy Gilbert: "This is a landmark work that brings a complex analytical framework to bear on the entire past 70 years of Anglophone pop music history .... will be a key reference point for politically and sociologically informed cultural criticism for years to come."
For anyone affected by the violence and intimidation in Belfast.
For anyone displaced from their home.
You are welcome.
You are valued.
You will be supported.
We stand in solidarity with you.
For those out on the streets waging violence, intimidation and destruction in their own communities.
You are outnumbered.
You are misguided.
You will not win.
You are aiming your anger in the wrong direction and it will only damage our communities further.
Wes Streeting blocked for me raising concerns about Gaza in his replies.
Don’t let these people re-write their own history of complicity.

Interesting - no mention of our active collusion mind but I’ll take this. And yes I know it’s leadership hunting season but let’s cf Burnham’s statements on this issue
Well that's day 3 of the party with 402 MPs being mad at the party with 5 MPs for not doing everything they can to help stop the party with 8 MPs from having 9 MPs and thus inevitably becoming the government through no fault of the aforementioned 402 MP party.
***EXCLUSIVE*** Andy Burnham fully rules out changing Rachel Reeves’ fiscal rules if he becomes PM
At the weekend his team had left it open whether he might change them in future
But tonight his spokesperson tells Bloomberg he is explicitly ruling out any changes to the existing fiscal rules
AND crucially Burnham is now also ruling out exempting defence spending from the fiscal rules to spend more on the military
He had floated that idea in a Bloomberg interview a few weeks ago but his spokesperson tonight says he won’t pursue it
This is a big attempt by Burnham’s campaign team to reassure markets who were spooked on Friday by his potential premiership
But it may risk disappointing some on the left who had hoped for a more radical fiscal policy
It may also mean tax rises are the likely main revenue raiser in the event Burnham wants to increase spending
Centre-right troll: "My objection to Zack Polanski is that's he's a morally bad person. It has nothing to do with the fact he is coming after rich people."
The Greens have had a taste of what is to come. They need to push on now whilst the temperature is down but make sure they are ready for the vicious assault that will come at the GE. They need to use the attacks to highlight the hypocrisy re racism not simply be on the defence.
On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:
“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.
Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”
It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.
