A pointless personal attack on an almost 80 year-old man who mostly works for free to support children’s literacy, who narrowly survived Covid and continues to have severe health issues. His crime? Using the free bus pass he is entitled to.

I’m playing 3 shows at Cottiers Glasgow in May 2026. These were quite popular last time I did it.. Wednesday 6 t-s.co/ja084 Thursday 7 t-s.co/ja085 Sunday 10 t-s.co/ja086

Good point!

Wow, we've just passed 157 million views for my son's and my YouTube Channel. 856K subscribers 575 videos 157,024,254 views youtube.com/c/MichaelRosen…

RIP Jimmy Cliff. A blend of beautiful music and socially conscious lyrics became a core part of his artistry.

This is good, despite me being in it.

Over at website 'Conservative Woman', people are bemoaning the loss of Britain's manufacturing base. My memory is not brilliant these days, but I seem to recall a government beginning with a capital C, devoting itself to destroying that very same manufacturing base, no?

“We are deeply alarmed by the scale of fossil fuel-funded disinformation that has flooded Westminster and the media.” A letter from UK scientists to the PM and our public service broadcasters. Please read this - it’s important and urgent.

Shabana Mahmood said this month that her migration policies are a "moral mission". Where is the morality in blocking an eight-year-old girl made destitute by a Hurricane from coming to the UK to join her parents? theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
