Still showing as that on the website. Which I didnt realise. I was still under the impression it was about 1pm. Going to be setting off a bit earlier then.......

Lots of porn on Twitter as Grant Shapps will testify. The porn sites might be blocked but Twitter clearly isn't.

They never published them before either so not a valid argument. The Durham thing has also (unsurprisingly) been misrepresented. Durham have simply acknowledged receipt of the letter and a FOI request (as they are bound to do) and the twat MP has tweeted it and twisted it.

'...no issue reporting this' - press are not subject to pre-election restrictions aka purdah so they can report what they want. i like Hislop but he is talking bollox and has totally the wrong end of the stick there. Investigations and fines are continuing unchanged - the only difference is that the Met are not putting out press releases during the pre-election period.

Just realised theres a massive Morrisons just up the road. Ideal place to meet my mate who's in his campervan and transfer a load of stuff to him so I don't have to carry it across the site from the car parking.....result!! Only a few weeks - better warm up a bit. freezing up here in the barren northern wastelands. Incidentally, a reminder that the offer still stands for anyone struggling for a lift from the North - I'm travelling down solo from Northumberland and have plenty of space if anyone needs picking up/dropping off within reasonable distance of the M1 - no cost.

If any 80s/90s kids remember them, The Popguns are back on tour in July with a couple of dates in tiny venues York and Newcastle. Wendy's voice sounding as good as ever. jangle/dream/indie pop done well.

Too big, too crowded at times. I never buy a ticket now and only attend as a volunteer worker and as such, never feel I'm missing out. Much prefer the smaller festivals as a paying punter.

Has the Truth Stage been knocked on the head? Comes up on GF google searches but is now ' Page not found' when you click through. Or has it just been renamed as something else? https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/shangri-la/truth-stage/

Said Wolf Alice crust on video for demonstration purposes: wa.mp4

Vague guess that the date might be somewhat relevant.......

If he does that I worry who the hell will he bring on for Back in the USSR?

I had the added bonus of going into the account to buy a car parking pass and realising that I'd forgotten that I'd already paid for one all those years ago.

Placebo were fantastic in the tent at Latitude in 2019(?), really good sound and note perfect - looking forward to them, the Lips and Shame plus a load of others.

Cheers. Will travel light and get him to bring all the important heavy stuff in his van then 👍. Found an old map and the van fields look diametrically opposed to general car parking which is a pain.

Remarkably quiet here considering we're only two months away from this? Anyway. Firstly, if anyone is looking to go to Beardy from North East of the venue and struggling for transport I'm travelling down solo on the Thursday returning on the Monday coming down the M1 from way, way North. Would be able to deviate off and give a lift to anyone struggling to get there and back. Loads of room in a large car so no problems there. Did this for another efester last year to Latitude so I'm not going to murder you. Secondly I'm meeting a friend there who'll be in a campervan, and I intend to park my car up in the car park then wander over with my stuff and pitch my tent next to his van. Normally do this at EotR and other festivals. Is it permitted at Beardy? Also, how far is it from the car parks to the van fields? Not seen a current map layout yet. Thanks for any advice.

This is the other photo she posted on that feed. The guy flying the paramotor is my mate who I'm going with as normal this year. He took the post festival aerial photos I posted a few years back. https://twitter.com/CNic321/status/1507034630150569995?s=20&t=unjLSwd0j5M-gZLBaQdbsA.

My good news is that all our monitors were finally brought out and now safe in Moldova but sadly lost a a local member of staff in shelling in Kharkiv on Tuesday. Still can't believe we are where we are and bloody angry about it. Still several interpreters/drivers back with their families underneath all this. https://www.osce.org/chairmanship/513280 our

Talking of which, whose idea was it to let Diane Abbott out on her own in public again? She is a car crash which happens every time. If I was being generous I would think she might be ill, but no-one is saying she is, and she just comes across as inarticulate, artificial, supremely slow of mind and an absolute gift to anyone looking to distract from Tory sleaze.(almost as good as Claudia Webbe's 'Berus' committee question. )

Not long, but that's a whatabout, and they aren't in office/power. And I don't think such links would be as widespread, blatant and detrimental to the UK as the Russian links are and have been over the past several years.

Yup. Absolutely no loss. The only downside for me is the potential loss of a team if it goes tits up.

Bit of pivot there. Don 't remember IS and Terry giving donations to UK parliamentarians. It's not just party politics though - some of it is, but there's the whole national security aspect . If you want a 'whatabout' as well, then I think the same about Barry Gardiner and his receipt of Chinese donations - although apparently the story there is that SyS were informed from the beginning about those and likely that instructions given to maintain the relationship - hence no huge outcry and nothing really happening after Christine Lee was 'outed'.
