Not Alright, by Joe Solo ft. Jess Silk from the album Punk Rock Prepared Us For This

Full album available to stream NOW on BC.

This is one of my favourites.

It's a lovely bit of Jess Silk and Rebekah Findlay magic on a song about neuro-diversity and mental health.

So much more than the sum of its parts.

Enjoy x

Unopposed, academisation will exacerbate inequality & poverty, so why are we so quiet about this privatisation-by-stealth? There is a lot of talk about campaigns to reduce child poverty & of course, that is a laudable aim. Who can argue with it? But, if we are to be realistic & focused on addressing the structuโ€ฆ

Britain *is* diverse, but believe me, growing up in Old Trafford in the 70's - a more diverse community would be hard to find!

Reform byelection candidate refuses to disown claim that people born in UK not necessarily British Matthew Goodwin, who is standing in Gorton and Denton, said UK-born people from minority ethnic backgrounds were not always British

44% of the population of Denton and Gorton are ethnic minority, the majority of them born in the UK.

Reform's candidate says those people aren't British and are liable for deportation.

It's a bold electoral strategy: vote for me and I'll throw you into the sea.

We canโ€™t go on like this.

In just two days, the average FTSE 100 CEO has made a median workers full time annual salary.

The right calls this โ€œwealth creationโ€.

Itโ€™s wealth extraction.

Time to tax the rich.
