Now almost 5.9 million views on this shocking compilation of barefaced lies told by Boris Johnson
Still not a single UK news show willing to broadcast it or anything remotely like it
Until that day comes RT/follow & let’s shame them into doing their job
Hey, kids. 35 years. Time flies. Obviously disappointed not to be celebrating at The Rose with you tonight as planned - but there are more important things to think about right now. Stay home - stay safe. Look after yourselves. We’ll see you down the road.. ❤️
I’m very sad to share with you that after a long, brave fight, Lorraine passed away this week. She was a friend and longtime ‘Faithful’ fan of Go West. She faced her many health challenges with incredible courage and good grace - she was an inspiration. RIP, L.. 💙
Went to 2 gigs this weekend - unusual for me! At each I was reminded of why I go to so few. All respect to those who come to MY shows and may have to endure the spectacular lack of awareness of some around them. I’ve reconsidered my (very)
sweary rant - but FFS!

Dear all.. a very Happy New Year to you - and thank you so much for being here. 🙏 It’s incredible (but true!) that 2018 has been GW’s busiest performing year ever - thanks for making it possible for us to do what we love to do. Hope to see you down the road in 2019.. 🤘

TV series ‘The Wheel Of Time’. You can hear me singing in the old tongue here.. no’ma mi cuebiyar.. ❤️
#WheelOfTime
The Queen has basically just told us her Government plans to restrict our right to protest, restrict legal challenges against its policies & decisions & suppress our democratic right to vote! How are we sleepwalking into this?!
#QueensSpeech
Succinctly put. Do watch this. Your right to free speech, your freedom to protest will be subject to ‘police restrictions’. Sound good? Didn’t think so..
On Monday Boris Johnson’s Gov’t will rush the Policing bill through the Commons. It contains some of the most draconian crackdowns on the right of peaceful protest any of us have seen in our lifetime.
Everyone needs to watch this so please RT. Johnson’s Gov’t must be stopped
@BBCNews
WHY are you not broadcasting these events and holding the government to account? I WANT to believe in the BBC as an objective source of information. Please do better.
Last night Boris Johnson’s Gov’t voted AGAINST amendments to protect our NHS, uphold food standards, protect our environment, maintain workers' rights & block trade deals with countries that commit genocide.
I think the public should know. RT if you do to
And.. that’s a wrap! 14 shows in 18 days - and a LOT of miles! Thanks to our mighty band, Vin Benjamin, Ben Lochrie, Matt Carter and Simon Lea - Paul, our brilliant TM, Damian, Ricardo, Jake, the WWW boys💥👊🏻, all the kickass crew - and YOU, if you were there - thank you! 🙏🏻🌟
Responding to a desperate ICU nurses plea that NHS workers are “understaffed & underpaid” Matt Hancock shamelessly says nurses got a “significant” pay rise last year & repeats Gov’t pledge of 50k more.
Both the Health Secretary’s claims are false👇
For your consideration.. with the help of talented friends, I’ve recorded the Average White Band's 'When Will You Be Mine' and a funky take on Paul Weller's 'You Do Something To Me'. They both have 'lockdown' videos and will be available to buy for download from 7pm tomorrow.. 🙏🏻
Get the F IN! Number ONE on the Heritage Chart - which provides a platform for music largely ignored by mainstream radio. The chart is dictated by public vote. You know what that means? It means that YOU made it happen! Thank you SO much.. 🙏🏻❤️😘
