My son (@c.lockhart.ist on instagram) sent me this beautiful drawing for my birthday. He's just graduated from UWE and you can see a show of his and other final year illustration students at Peoples republic of stokescroft until Wednesday. Well worth a visit, there's some amazing talent out there.

UK to host Donald Trump for full state visit this year, says Buckingham Palace. That felon should not be given a state visit, stands against all ethical values. King Donald wants to takeover Gaza, Greenland, Panama, Canada, a threat to world peace. Protests are certain.

The Deform leader of Warwickshire Council Council Rob Howard has quit, meaning the council is now being led by an 18-year-old. Deform Ltd – the party of government, my a****! They couldn't run an Ann Summers party.

The MPs standing up to Starmer’s welfare bill aren’t “rebels”. They’re just proper Labour MPs. They’re not protesting they’re acting in accordance with Labour values. It’s a disastrous cruel bodge job and they should bin it. Not because of polling, but basic morality. It isn’t Labour policy.

I am gradually working out the distinction between ‘overwhelmed’ and ‘depressed’. I know that I am not depressed, not at the moment, but my mind is definitely overstimulated and I cannot get through most afternoons without an hour’s sleep. This is why I have wfh for 15 years. Yes, I am fortunate.

Trump, in all likelihood, will be dead within 10 years. Most of his enablers will be alive considerably longer and must be held accountable for their criminality.

"The Member for Clacton demands billions of pounds more in unfunded tax cuts for the very richest" "... while he marches through the lobbies in the House of Commons to vote against sick pay for the lowest earners." ⚠️Reform are the party of the billionaires, not the people.

Today's Times confirms that Trump's state visit to the UK has been rushed forward to this Sept. Zoe Gardner, Stop Trump Coalition: "To hear, this week of all weeks, that the govt is pushing forward on Trump’s state visit smacks of desperation and a total lack of understanding of the public mood."

Everything about Trump is vulgar. His language, how he chooses to live, his lack of any interest in any culture, his worship of money, how he treats people. #wato

Story in the Independent saying that bands lose tens of thousands of pounds playing Glastonbury but make up for that through “increased streaming” of their music, a sentence that made me laugh out loud.

This is precisely what happened. The same effort, over and over again, with Democrats and Republicans. But America was finally weak enough to simply ignore and its president idiotic enough to go along with it.

What’s the point in claiming the Russia/Ukraine war would never have started if you’d been president if you then go and start another one…teaming up with a country that’s already accused of genocide somewhere else? What a fucking mess.
