In honor of Jimi Hendrix, who would have turned 82 today, I wrote something for PBS about his incredible sense of style. He helped define not only the sound but also the look of a countercultural movement. pbs.org/wnet/americanm…

In 1985, before it was bombed and sunk in Auckland harbour, The Rainbow Warrior was in the Marshall Islands helping the people of Rongelap Atoll evacuate their home… All six episodes of The Last Voyage of the Rainbow Warrior are now available here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

I'm very pleased to be vice chairing the new APPG for Fair Elections. The time has come for a fair, proportional electoral system where every vote counts. ⤵️ That's why we are calling for an independent National Commission for Electoral Reform for citizens to have their say.

"This year less than 6 in 10 votes went to either Labour or the Conservatives combined, while over 12 million people chose other parties. When this happens under First Past the Post the system breaks down – & wild things happen" 🖊️ Vice Chair @EllieChowns politics.co.uk/mp-comment/202…

So glad some of the plan on dockless #bikes is out, so I can finally talk about it. @TfL has been asking government for years for the power to regulate dockless bikes. It was even in the Queen's speech 2 years ago, but nothing's happened. But we found a way to take some action.

Valleys submerged, lives devastated, and Welsh Labour MPs launch online crowdfunders? Are you kidding me? The UK Labour Gov has billions for wars and handouts to the rich, but when it’s working-class communities drowning, it’s pass the bucket! A disgrace! Fund flood relief NOW!

The 80s are BACK, BABEH!

I asked a high school teacher friend about the biggest change in teens over the past decade. His answer was interesting. He said whereas the 'default state' of teenage psychology used to be boredom, now it was anxiety.



My god, just poked my nose into Royals-watching twitter. Fucking hell.

Just incredibly bleak that when a Labour government is finally in power, disabled people still have to wake up to front pages calling them a blight on society.

#COP29 ends in betrayal of the Global South. Failure of wealthier countries to deliver sufficient finance shows yet again the sickening injustice & inequality at the heart of this process. Solidarity with all who fought for better - the fight continues theguardian.com/environment/20…

Clive is bang on. This is very basic stuff Labour are getting so completely wrong. People who are struggling are not benefiting from hawks like Blackrock being given partnerships. Not only are they not benefiting - they're a huge part of the reason that inequality is so huge.

This post is problematic for a number of reasons. A thread…🧵 1. For those attempting to make sense of Trump’s victory and the rise of the far-right across Europe - look no further than the PMs statement below. Whether you like it or not, the far-right has a set of common…
