The Crewkerne Man doesn’t just want to be funny. He wants the Gazette to become a politically influential media outlet, to wield power like the tabloids used to. ✍️ Max Jeffery https://t.co/j3gXaH2DDh

A wonderfully dorky tribute to one of the great bassists, and Radiohead’s most funny member. When he came to the Spectator offices earlier this year, playing it cool was tricky. https://t.co/BBhU5SDHLn

Nice piece about Mani and how good he was. Him, Peter Hook and Andy Rourke represented something like the highpoint of British bass-playing, before Oasis basically made it boring and shit again. https://t.co/yCA9DLpYrq

Spoke about the cover piece on our new format of The Edition podcast, which also meant I had to talk about sex robots and @JAHeale about nightdresses. I sounded very awkward, but James was astonishingly eloquent.
Can the hard left alliance hold? Who is shaping Reform behind the scenes? Is woke dead? ... And were sex robots inevitable in a capitalist society? Lara Brown, Angus Colwell & James Heale join this week's Edition 👇 @lara_e_brown @AngusColwell @JAHeale
