It does feel weird promoting my music in a week where the news gets more horrific by the day, but music & creativity continue to be small but worthy consolations. Amazingly my DIY EP project has been picked as a @Kickstarter #ProjectWeLove

Kyle Clifford was Louise Hunt's ex-boyfriend.
Raise your hand if this was your first assumption too.
Now bracing for the list of his escalating violent and controllling behaviour and "missed opportunities", "overlooked red flags" and "collective failures".

Can we once and for all dispense with this tedious "But he always took the bins out and said hello" commentary, as if there was a contradiction here that needed explaining.
Violent men ARE "nice guys".
They're nice to everyone but the women they abuse. That's the whole point.

Thank you to a magnificent @carolvorders speaking truth to (ex) power here & telling it like it is. Also for her tireless work over many months, ceaselessly using her platform to expose Tory lies and corruption,
and encouraging UK voters to vote tactically to kick them out! 💪

Don't forget to VOTE today, pref. to get this shower of corrupt sh!te OUT! They're hoping anti Tory voters stay at home but it's NOT a done deal. Remember the shock of the Trump & Leave wins (against polling predictions). Vote tactically to stop the Tories & don't forget voter ID
Tactical voting is easy. Pass it on. stopthetories.vote

"C4 signs Nadine Dorries for election night coverage" - what the actual f***? This is in line with the BBC hiring Johnson for HIGNFY & ITV booking Farridge for Imma Celeb bc they were "entertaining", good copy etc - look where that's got us. These grifters should not be rewarded.
26 Jun 2024
I understand the novelty of Channel 4 hiring Nadine Dorries but we need to stop MPs being rewarded for inadequacy. You were a failure, Nadine Dorries. You're deserving of no one's attention. You were a shitshow without an interval. You’re an irrelevance. Go away. Thank you.

URGENT: Emergency appeal for donations to cover massive USD 520,000 debt for jet.
Julian’s travel to freedom comes at a massive cost: Julian will owe USD 520,000 which he is obligated to pay back to the Australian government for charter Flight VJ199. He was not permitted to fly commercial airlines or routes to Saipan and onward to Australia. Any contribution big or small is much appreciated.
