In 2020 I've gone from never having recorded myself to being annoyed by continuity errors in my pretend-cello-filled piano quartet https://t.co/KpQRiR0tEI But viola+piano is a bit limited, so I'd love to hear from anyone who'd like to join me for some video-assisted music making.

Not much Bluetooth to be found on top of Piestewa Peak! Hoping to find more tomorrow at the Phoenix UnPlugFest...

Watch Mick Lynch talk about the right-wing media and the “bland and anonymous” Keir Starmer.

Johnson repeats a lie he told the House before, with a report that proves he lied. Until @CommonsSpeaker and Parliament put a stop to a liar in the Chamber, parliament is a waste of our money.

But it's fatal to write off the catastrophes created by Sunak and Patel and Gove and Truss as the mishaps of bumbling buffoons. They are careful, competent politicians who, for some reason, are very happy to dismantle our society and sell our country down the river. Brace, brace.

and yet he is capable of bringing up as a debating point a court in his constituency which his government closed 5 years ago. It's far too easy to dismiss him as an imbecile. Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan was an enjoyable character to watch because he was genuinely hopeless, by design

decade in power has been the decimation of the justice system, the careful dismantling of any support or equality or safety for anyone who doesn't look and sound like them; a party which battles with its own Lords for the right to deport and de-state British citizens... 5/n

(a) James Daly is an actual MP, not a Iannucci creation (b) this quote is genuinely from a Parliamentary "debate", rather than a fevered parody account. https://t.co/qYP6PriOEc... This is an MP who was elected with the support of a party whose singular success over their 4/n

political spectrum/madhouse, to force myself to consider whether a screenshot is a persuasive fake or depressing reality. So after coming across this comment https://t.co/ERHteroVv3 , it took me some Googling to discover that: 3/n

Sadly, no such comedy is possible today because we are ruled by a cabal who are striving to portray the Fawlty Towers staff as paragons of competence and careful governance. I try to follow on Twitter both real personalities and parody accounts, from all corners of the 2/n

The Day Today was a brilliant creation at least in part because it started from the foibles and indiscretions of public figures of its time, and exaggerated them to the point of farce.

The Met investigating number 10

“The Downing Street parties are outrageous, it’s the Prime Minister laughing in our faces. But while we’ve all been focused on that something much, much bigger has been slipped past us. The Government is Taking Away Our Liberties on an Industrial Scale” - @GeorgeMonbiot

Yesterday I, along with my entire family and a shit-ton of my friends from ethnic minority backgrounds, were made second-class citizens in the UK as a result of the Nationality and Borders Bill. 6 million of us can now be stripped of our nationality without being told about it.

In 24 hours, Starmer has tweeted 3 times about a Christmas party, but not once about the racist, inhumane, nationality and borders bill which puts the UK outside international law and which has today been voted through parliament This is not someone who is fighting racism

There’s something grimly poetic about a tearful resignation at the same time that The Nationality and Borders Bill passes through the Commons: a proposed law which is going to cause tears from countless people this electorate will never care about.

Just horrifying.

Interview with Owen Paterson

Vince Cable wrong to say that Brexit will mean we dilute environmental standards. Gove is clear,if anything we can now have higher standards
