It's 45 years since the best ever account of an attempted crime. From the Edinburgh Evening News, 18 August 1978.

Okay who removed the brains of the Conservative party? Where does that rank on the scale of worst speeches by a Prime Minister at a party conference? And they applauded! Disgusting. Idiocy, bigotry and sheer lack of understanding all in a neat little basket.

A reminder.

Our latest interview features Gudrun Walther & Andy Cutting talking about their influences, the similarities between German and English traditional music and their new album, nearly 30 years in the making: brightyoungfolk.com/blogs/gudrun-w…

Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march.

Hey Rishi Sunak you can pass as many laws as you like saying any country you like is safe to send asylum seekers to but that won't make it true and I don't think the Supreme Court will let you get away with it let alone the ECHR. Maybe try a real asylum policy this time?

Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan". I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support. I do not support the "Rwanda plan". If you don't either, please retweet.

Isn't it great how every option they come up with is more expensive than the thing they say is too expensive?

Lovely to see Count Binface here at Glastonbury - with an interstellar message for democracy: USE IT OR LOSE IT! Use your vote! Emmeline Pankhurst would approve!

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8
