I wonder if we will get any other special releases to tie in with the greatest hits? After tears on the dance floor, we got a nice box set of CD singles including lots of remixes. I’d love a remixes album including their newer stuff.

I downloaded the extended mix today but it’s only 30 seconds longer. Why couldn’t they have done a proper extended version like 5-6 minutes!

Well it’s now no9 in this weeks midweeks don’t continuing to build. I prefer the acoustic version.

Her performance on TOTP was awful and didn’t help the chart position but it’s one of her songs which I do like. Yes, it’s not as good as some of her other PWL stuff but it deserved to do better than it actually did.

The government will have to do something in addition to the package already offered - failure to do so will lead to millions either starving, freezing to death or crippled with debt they are unable to repay.

Of course the Tories won’t do it. But things are looking extremely dire with latest predictions of the price cap rising to £4200 in January and £4400 in April. The Tories will have to do something but as always, their policies seem to be more about protecting the interests of energy suppliers and the rich rather than helping people on lower incomes who are most at need.

Ed Davey has said today the government should scrap the energy price cap rise and fund the proposed increase themselves to prevent millions who will struggle to afford to heat their homes this winter. It would be predicted to cost 36m but it’s the best idea I’ve heard from any politician and likely to help people alot more than a tax cut.

A strange collaboration!

The best of wave 2 are sky high sundae, Sydney sprint and kalimari desert.

Some surprising positions - what do I have to do @ only 77 but Sexercize is above it @ 64. Put yourself in my place @ only 71.

I’m surprised both shocked and wouldn’t change a thing weren’t in the T100 tbh.

It’s better than the first single but not really feeling it.

I’m surprised how well I ain’t worried has done. It’s not one of my favourite songs of theirs but can’t wait for a new album!

The new Adele album is quite dull apart from the first single. I prefer Ed’s new music overall and think he will continue to do well.

It’s on Uk iTunes now (available via her album).

Beach house is better than western wind but I’m not really feeling it with either songs.

I think most of the British electorate prefer Sunak than Truss as he appears to be the lesser of the two evils but the problem is the vote is in the hands of Conservative party members who seem to prefer Truss to benefit their own interests.

There is no way the Tories will win an outright majority at the next election, whether that be in the next 6 months, 12 months or over the next 2 years. Inflation is predicted to rise to 15% next year and the lack of any real credible policies to address the energy crisis and cost of living situation will be crippling for many people and their businesses. I predict we will see a wave of strikes right across the public sector just like in the 1970s and possibly worse. There will also be a huge rise in bankruptcies and local authorities will be overwhelmed by dealing with the impact of the cost of living crisis as many families feel the strain. Parts of the NHS will collapse under pressure from being unable to keep up with demand which is already starting to happen with the ambulance service . There will also be a profound realisation by then that Brexit has actually compounded many of the problems we are facing. Whoever becomes the next Tory leader will not last much longer than two years. The bigger question will be who will form the next government and I suspect it will be a coalition made up of several smaller parties with labour likely to be the biggest party but with no overall majority.

1. Scared of the dark 2. Loves got a hold of my heart 3. Stomp 4. Take me for a ride 5. Light up the world 6. 5,6,7,8 7. What The Future Holds 8. Chain Reaction 9. Hard to forget

Not a hard choice - Light Years wins!

I’ve never been a big fan of American Pie so that’s one of the tracks I voted for alongside Argentina and hanky panky.

That clip of the new track doesn’t even sound like her!

I’ve got her other albums but wasn’t impressed with the first song so will hold off preordering this until I’ve heard the other tracks.

Here is the problem. This country is run by millionaires or people who are completely out of touch with the reality of ordinary peoples lives. Boris Johnson has probably never experienced real poverty. He earns at least £120k in his job and that doesn’t include all the bonuses he makes from work on the side. When you earn that kind of money, energy bills rising to over £3k won’t have the same level of impact that it will have on the lives of most ordinary people on an average wage.

See the post above - the campaign will only go ahead if 1 million people agree to do it. Collective mass action through non-payment will have a very detrimental impact on the energy companies. Yes, they can threaten to cut you off but by law they are required to at least visit your home first and check your financial circumstances to reach an agreement. Very few people are actually just cut off. And if a million people do this then it will cause the energy companies significant disruption. Unless people act, we know the Tory government will do nothing to address this problem which has been building for years. So what’s the alternative? Sit and wait and hope we get some kind of labour coalition government in two years time who probably won’t do a great deal neither.
