The Beatles grew up in a network of incredibly well-attended small venues. Invest in today's musicians! A great thread.
“£2 million for a Beatles museum in Liverpool.”
This is a great example of the detachment from reality and life experiences of our politicians. On all sides of the debate.
Let’s start with the easiest bit: It doesn’t build a Beatles museum.

In my sitcom I play a version of me. It was very important that the character should be nonbinary, and that their nonbinary status is pretty much just background. There's no struggle. There's no transphobia. There's just a NB person going about, being an idiot.
