Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

The day we meet again I'll be waiting there I'll be waiting there for you 'Cause the years have been so lonely Like a dog without a home It's dangerous when you find out You've been drinking on your own

Soon you will see me 'Cause I'll be all around you But where I come from I can't tell But don't be alarmed by my fields and my forests They're here for only you to share

Sex is great but have you ever read Edgar Allan Poe whilst enjoying dark chocolate mousse and a vintage bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in front of a crackling fire in an ominous Victorian mansion under a full moon with the sound of owls in the distance on a cool October night?

🎃 First Halloween Ghosts of Wales talk of the 2026 spooky season done and dusted! Huge thank you, Whitland! I’ll be talking in Swansea tomorrow (another private gig, sorry). Public dates coming soon - as well as an extra-special ghost walk. Yes, ghost walk! 👻 Watch this spooky space...

On joining BlueSky, I’d no idea how many of you might follow my account. I saw I’d lost some 6/7000 on X & hoped maybe a small percentage of those might follow me here… but expected nothing. How the hell I managed to get over 50K of you to listen to my wafflings, I’ve no idea! Hugely grateful. 👍

Evening ladies and gentlemen, not that anyone will be remotely arsed but I’m back and taking names. Make sure yours isn’t by acknowledging my superiority and doffing caps when I pass. Godspeed to all

Even as a critic who has tried to write about MJ’s legacy with nuance and grace, I appreciate the clarity the director of Leaving Neverland brings to the table

The greatest Christmas song ever ( fight me) beautiful melody amazing words and a cover art by Nick Price. I’m glad it’s under the radar so I play it on my terms. Merry Christmas

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Justin Haywood at the Floral Pavilion was an absolute pleasure to see and hear. Fella should be a national treasure instead no fucker has heard of him. Probably be his last tour although his voice was surprisingly strong he’s looking frail and is almost 80. Place was packed.

Criminally underrated and disgracefully ignored . The Moody Blues should be a national treasure and more importantly a lesson for everyone that love understanding and forgiveness are more important than anything and will ultimately defeat hatred
