Well no, I don't think so. I think it's a position she can use to attack the Tories from, previously not so much. I do think it's a role she's suited to

She was Shadow Minister for Eff All before this (As in grand title but in the bigger scheme of things literally shite all)

Surely Henry doesn't care?

New to me, thanks

Nah, 6Music is on the road to ruin What they've done in recent years is dreadful Craig Charles eff off, nothing remotely hip about him, he even pays his family members to do his research and still can't pronounce band names, song names etc correctly let alone having no idea of their back story. Bumping Riley and Coe into a joint late slot cutting down their respective hours from 5 to 2 is shiocking. Tom Ravenscroft is an irritant and that new music fix show is awful. the 9-10 slot is hit and miss giving it over to an artist for 4 shows of self indulgence (its still often better than the previous 2 hours) Lamaq is leaving and being replaced by Huw Stevens, that is probably the first replacement they've made in recent years that doesn't piss me off And whilst we're at it, can someone put Tom Robinson out to grass and extending Guy Garvey's show by an hour was completely uninspiring, an hour was ok, 2 and it starts to grate

We went to Swedish Hell yesterday.... my missus said.... you need another one of those shelving units for your records, we'll buy one next month She has an ulterior motive in clearing out a space in the flat but yep I'll take another Kallax unit as a bonus

Only Franz ferdinand record I own, it's the only good one

So was pretty much every musician who had a sniff at being on TOTP or any other BBC show even down to local radio level. I don’t think I knew a musician in the 80s who wasn’t an MU member

Reports last night that despite Russia sinking loads of ships to act as a defence of the Kerch bridge, Ukraine hit it again with a seaborne drone or drones

Never really been a fan of Dexys save a few songs on the first album When the second album came out and they were in their grim dungarees phase Kevin Rowland was being an arse in Inferno in Dale End, I've never seen or read anything about him ever since that has convinced me that he's not an arse. That tweet above just reinforces it.

Worse than Pep Roulette, completely agree

Ansu Fati at Brighton for 6.5 might be better.

Uh oh, incoming... Indie Including two Birmingham MPs Doesn't look much like a purge of left wingers though, more a purge of imbeciles who can't be trusted to behave themselves

Hardly worth declaring a universal truth

Bacon or Kicking Dogs? and Bacon will win every time in a straight choice. I'll happily forgo the dog kicking for a bacon sarnie

Kadyrov hilarity

It could be absolutely anything given it’s last two MPs were Keith Vaz and Claudia Webbe Vaz btw is said to be still very active in the constituency and the suspension is essentially because they've been trying to stitch up meetings and elections in favour of one particular faction (likely to be Vaz's favoured one) Theres also the abandoning the directly elected mayor position elephant in Leicester East. It’s been a troubled constituency for some considerable time and it won’t be what you think it is. As an indication one councillor has resigned the Labour whip on the council over it, she's Diane Cank, she no left winger, in local terms she's a Vazite and quite active in organising aid to Ukraine (which is hardly Corbynista territory) and was one of the 600 councillors that called for Corbyn to resign. It really won’t be what you think it is.

This sounds very Tory I must admit... Just some highlights, plenty more Tory policies in there apart from these... Plenty more Tory Policies in the current policy proposals - Labour List All those are from the first two headings... There are 6 headings in that very extensive article and even Labour List have only picked out a selection. Bloody Tories

You'd get a whole quid for that in near mint condition if you sold it privately

Well that's one way of looking at it, the other is to realise the scale of the problem because the water company that re-invests in it's infrastructure says it can't afford to solve the problem that has lead to it being in the worst six companies named by the regulator The regulator has the power to fine or make the company return money to its customers, guess that's taking money away from solving the problem too... The solution to the problem lies in neither of the approaches as they currently stand and undoubtedly will involve everyone paying much more for their water

This Welsh Water? BBC Your solution clearly isn't working
