Persistent support for multiple antisemites, most notoriously Raed Salah Refusal to blame Putin for Crimea invasion (Morning Star, 2014) Old Bailey arrest for supporting IRA (1986) That’s just three examples. The idea the UK public would ever get behind such a man is laughable.

Good to see Russia struggling so much. Maybe its people might find some courage and protest en masse about the war criminal & mass murderer who’s led them into these dire straits, instead of meekly revering him like a king?

As I’ve written many times, only antisemites say “antisemmetic”. Only Jew haters can’t be bothered to say it properly. When ‘lawyer and friend’ Jacqueline Mckenzie goes on Radio 4 and says “Diane Abbott is not antisemmetic” she damns them both, simultaneously. Quite a trick.

John McEnroe hits the nail on the head 💯 Stop what you're doing and watch this Wimbledon men's singles final 🫵 #Wimbledon

Drive, even now 😪 #LiveAid #LiveAid40

This was the first time most people ever heard Into The Groove - it was only released two days after Live Aid. No.1 two weeks later for the rest of the summer. #LiveAid #LiveAid40

Anyone currently absurdly claiming Liam Gallagher is "the best rock frontman in history" (🤣🤣) should switch to BBC2 right now and weep tears of shame #LiveAid #LiveAid40 #Queen

This performance became colloquial shorthand for perfection in live music. A disappointing show would be critiqued with "it wasn't exactly Queen at Live Aid, was it?" #LiveAid #LiveAid40

Geldof building up to boiling point now.. that table better watch out #LiveAid #LiveAid40

Dire Straits doing Money For Nothing feels like an old classic now, but it was actually a brand new song that most people hadn't heard in July 1985 #LiveAid #LiveAid40

Not sure why Don't You Forget About Me still stands up, when so much 80s power rock sounds horribly dated. But it does. #LiveAid #LiveAid40

Bono was so up himself by this point that he probably imagined he was offering some kind of spiritual healing to these girls he's pulling from the crowd #LiveAid40 #LiveAid

Bono spends so long down the front during Bad that they weren't allowed to do Pride (In The Name Of Love) as their big finale, and the rest of the band were raging #U2 #LiveAid40

Thing I'm noticing about #LiveAid40 ..most of the big young pop acts faded away fast after this. Paul Young, Nik Kershaw, Spandau, Howard Jones, Ultravox.. yet the older ones like Queen, Dire Straits, Elton, got a new lease of life. Live Aid basically invented stadium rock

Love Sade's version of Why Can't We Live Together. I had no memory of her singing this at Live Aid #LiveAid40

All You Need Is Love was only 18 years old in 1985. #LiveAid40

"Look Ma, I fucked up my Live Aid moment!!" #AdamAnt #LiveAid40

Adam Ant, with probably the best known back catalogue of the early 80s, chose to do this lumpen dirge that nobody bought. #LiveAid40

The irony of Geldof ordering everyone "JUST DO THE HITS!!", then doing Drag Me Down with the Boomtown Rats, is off the scale #LiveAid40

That "how to die" moment with his arm raised is still so powerful. Totally spontaneous. #LiveAid40

Style Council decided to do a dull political rant instead of a song that anyone knew #LiveAid40
