A little sneak peek of me and the boys rehearsing for the @SqueezeOfficial tour which starts in Glasgow tomorrow. If you're coming along please note I'll be on stage 7.30pm sharp every night and Squeeze on stage 8.45pm so book your babysitters early!

Americans don’t like socialism, everyone knows that. So how come they’re voting for socialists? Today’s artefact is a 1988 DSA flyer from my US tour.

#WoodyGuthrie left behind the words. #BillyBragg & #Wilco gave them music. Now, there’s more from the Mermaid Avenue sessions to hear.
Coming Dec. 11, Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions brings all three volumes together, along with 16 recordings that have never been released—
It’s been a while since I was last in Denmark, so I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be appearing at next summer’s Shelter From The Storm Festival Aalborg. Skål!

Alan Cumming calling out the terfs: “Feminism is about equality. How can you be against equality? That’s what feminism used to be about. You want people to have as good a life as you. But now it appears: “Mmm - but not trans people.”
Sat 17 Oct is #NationalAlbumDay and I’m celebrating with a special edition of Talking with the Taxman About Poetry.
Remastered from archive tapes on black vinyl, plus a bonus 7” featuring “Walk Away Renee (Version)” and custom B-side etching.

If this had been a Just Stop Oil protest the police would have been all over this. Not only would hundreds have been dragged away by now but the police would definitely have known about this in advance
The Home Office has serious questions to answer

It gets worse and worse. Reform is just a party of deranged pub bores protesting about everything and anything. They have no solutions of any kind and cannot sustain even the mildest scrutiny. Not a party for government, not now, not ever.
Billy Bragg retweeted
“Protect our women”.
Count the number of assaults going on here, NOT carried out by the security staff..
They think it’s a fucking free for all to grab people’s hair and get digs in!

Happy to be taking part in another gig raising funds for the great work that @AmosTrust do to support the Palestinian people. I’m also thrilled to be sharing a stage again with @PaulWellerHQ. His commitment to taking a stand on issues continues to inspire
