Luckily for Labour the voters are never wrong when it’s they’re asking for more racism but unfortunately the voters are always wrong when they’re asking for nationalising public services and utilities

Government consultation on Arts Council England, open until 24 April. Freelancers and individual artists in particular, get in, this is a rare chance. I've done some epic rants about how shit Grantium is and how the success rate for individual applicants is pathetic 😆 www.gov.uk/government/c...

There's more on the Bank Job (which I worked on 2017-2018) vs. the Lidl own brand "Heist" version (2025) saga. I've never been accused of plagiarism but if I was and I knew it wasn't true I would NOT be as salty as Channel 4 and the production company are here. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...

You can’t ALWAYS be experiencing an unusually high number of calls, that’s not how ‘usual’ works.

Good summary. Even before the election it was clear that Labour wouldn't have been allowed anywhere near no.10 if they posed any kind of threat or even mild discontinuity to the real bosses.

My new article for Artquest, on the art sector's diddling around on the edges of inclusion while precarious employment, underfunding, skewed class profile and lack of sustainable support perpetuates exploitation and patronising tokenism that makes real change unlikely artquest.org.uk/art-world/th...

Five things you might not know about PIP and a thread. 1) PIP is not a ‘benefit’ of disability, it’s welfare support to cover the additional costs of living with chronic illness or disability - medicine, transport, therapy, specialist equipment (and no, not all of these are available on the NHS)

Would you rather take 2% from a billionaire or stop regular people from being able to afford heating?⁠ ⁠ The government needs to stop targeting regular people and start taxing billionaires to help rebuild a greener, fairer Britain 👏

The nasty party is back, in Labour drag, with a Dickensian hat trick of kicking poor children, the elderly, and now disabled people that was too kinky even for George Osbourne to try. Well done to all the "they'll be better in government" people who made this possible.

Hello, I’m a disruptor, very smart, here to create efficiency. I’m just going to drill holes in the bottom of this boat to see which parts of the hull are mission-critical.

TFW your work is so good that somebody much more famous just flat out steals it. Being in front just puts a target on your back for some egomaniac arseholes, doesn't it?

One thing that isn't being reported much today is that getting PIP is (by design) incredibly difficult, bureaucratic, draconian, dehumanising, humiliating and time consuming. It's not handed out willy-nilly for self-diagnosing yourself as a bit poorly, despite government rhetoric.

Good read on the continual war on disabled and ill people as a drain on society. And even for those very few people lucky enough to have a meaningful job they enjoy, who want to work and can work, a life solely centred on work is a wasted and hollow one. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

So maddening to see the media clutching their pearls about Trump, Vance and co's fact-free bullying when this is actually the world and the politics they play a huge part in creating by facilitating policy by soundbite, not holding the powerful to account, and rejecting anything but the status quo.

I've often said that Interiors at TKMaxx has exactly the same taste as institutional art curators (I mean tell me New Contemporaries at the ICA and the Hayward's ceramics show last year didn't look like this?) but JEFF KOONS now? Perhaps TKMaxx's buyers KNOW TOO?

More funding for the arts is of course great but I'm really interested in "cultural sectors support 666,000 filled jobs across the country" because filled jobs sounds like a euphemism for a sex act, and also obviously this is the number of the beast?

Her (great) interviews re: this book echo what I've been saying for years: face it, the right copied their toxic misuse of identity politics and cry-bullying tactics from lefties who act like people using words or a tone they don't like is equivalent to violence. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

They're not "playing at" anything. They TOLD YOU. Over and over and over again. That this is what they wanted to do. In fact, today they told you that they wanted to do even more performative cruelty against migrants and further marginalize trans people. THEY TELL YOU OUT LOUD. Just listen ffs.

It's landlord profits he's really talking about, it's always about them. And anyway people working from home spend money in their own neighborhoods instead, you total dumbarse. They haven't stopped eating or going to the gym or pub or whatever, they just do it locally. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I love this. Also sort of reminds me of the schism between people who actually have questions to ask and want to hear the answer or open a genuine debate, and the "er, this is more of an observation than a question, really..." ego trippers.
