@JulianCole5 @rocknrollofall@direstraitshq@MarkKnopfler Only together for about 18 months yet so tight. John Illsley talks about life on the Crossfield and the festival gets a mention in his autobiography. Just listening to it. Nothing sensational but a really good listen. Shows how having a life before music can keep you alive
People complaining about prison spaces should realise that Gove sold off London prisons which stood on valuable land, ripe for residential flats.Privatised prisons to be run by Carillion,who in order to make a profit sacked experienced Prison Warders.
Panorama is a joke, outraged that all this money has gone to immigrants, but it hasn't it all goes to the 'hotel' owners, rich Conservative Donors (what a surprise).
And what a disgrace this program is.
#Panorama
Britain has the dirtiest rivers in Europe, the most expensive energy in Europe, the least reliable trains in Europe, the most overcrowded prisons in Europe and the widest gap between rich and poor in Europe. Those things are related.
The Tories gave a peerage to an Egyptian-born billionaire who served as a minister in a brutal dictatorship, after he made a £5m donation to the Conservative Party. And they have the nerve to call union donations to Labour 'corrupt'.
What you are doing is wrong, and you know it Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott. You are stirring up the divisive rhetoric. Rioting, looting, lobbing bricks, setting fire to hotels is not free speech. Neither is fomenting hatred.
I see the Daily Mail are frothing at the mouth that workers have a voice again today
Trade union money is the cleanest money in British politics & I'm proud that they donated to my re-election campaign and to be sponsored by some brilliant Trade Unions
Who funds the Daily Mail?
Michelle Mone donated to the Tories, got a peerage, and sold over £200m-worth of defective PPE to the NHS. You didn't read about that on the front page of the Daily Mail.
Trade unions helped secure:
• Annual leave
• Sick pay
• A two day weekend
• Maternity leave
• Protection from workplace discrimination
• 8 hour working days
• Redundancy pay
• Health and safety in the workplace
• Workplace pensions
And a lot more.
So the Mail make a story of £1.8million in donations to Labour to over 200 MP''s
Meanwhile I am old enough to remember over £10million of donations to the Tory Party from a racist donor who said an MP should be shot

The payment to Train Drivers will cost less than £100m a year after tax.
The Bankers got a tax cut that costs £4,500m a year, don't see the Media complaining about that.
Do you?
Johnson whipped up a rightwing hate mob against Starmer by lying about Savile. Braverman did her best to incite a fascist riot at the Cenotaph. The two of them can spare us the lectures.
