What made #JeffBeck special to the musicians he inspired? This is the most beautiful and deep-reaching of the tributes I've read, from my old pal Probyn Gregory, a brilliantly talented multi-instrumentalist in Brian Wilson's band who toured with Jeff. #music #elegy

Morning, the rain has broken, hot coffee to hand & #NowPlaying #SketchesOfSpain for the second time in a row. I love #MilesDavis with #GilEvans. Between this and #PorgyandBess, this wins out. #Saeta is quite unlike anything else I can bring to mind - that soulful horn, with the weird drone deep in the background then breaking into a march… Evocative stuff.

This is the #MobileFidelity 33, the best version I’ve heard by a country mile.

I'm ashamed of our government. Blood on its hands with the latest Channel deaths. What is needed is a humane asylum system rather than red meat racism!!
Today's disastrous and indefensible approval of a new Cumbria coal mine could still be halted. But even if it is, the hypocrisy of its approval - by the government which argued at COP26 for an end to coal - is yet another blow to climate diplomacy and international climate action.
"Do as we say, not as we do," say the rich nations.

Could Cumbria coalmine be stopped despite government green light?

Mine could affect Britain’s climate commitments, which some believe could help get decision struck down

The Guardian

Disappointing that on the same day #ChrisWhitty's report declares #airpollution as a public health emergency #MichaelGove approves the first coal mine for 30 years.

A stark contrast between the CMO’s calls to act and the actions of our government.

CMO: We can and should go further to reduce pollution
