This site is selling *dozens* of my images. All pixellated, sub-quality prints. And if the 'items sold' stats are anything to go by, other people are earning a hell of a lot more money than I am. And the site makes reporting impossible. As soon as you say have a copyright complaint, they block you.

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues. 1. Cutting disability benefits 2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance. 3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap .... 🧵

V good letter in The Guardian on Labour’s flailing hopelessness in the face of Reform. Come on, Labour. The country is crying out for better. We’re sick of this ugly rightwing agenda. It brings nothing but failure. It’s disloyal to your voters and to the country. You’ve got power and time. Use them.

The media coverage is not proportionate.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Immigration is not the problem it’s now widely believed to be. Brexit is much more of a problem than it’s reported to be. So how can govt achieve growth, fix public svcs and deal with the cost of living if fear of Reform means it won’t be honest with us about these 2 elephants in the room? It can’t.

Why does Starmer's Labour Party seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Because it hates the left more than it fears the far right. As a result it won't do the "left" things so many of its potential supporters are crying out for.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

We can stop Reform Here's how you can vote tactically to keep Reform out: - By voting GREEN in these places: stopreformuk.vote/for/greens - By voting LIBDEM in these places: stopreformuk.vote/for/libdems - By voting INDEPENDENT in these places: stopreformuk.vote/for/independ...

On the eve of the #localelections thank you @privateeyenews.bsky.social for absolutely nailing the weapons-grade, rock-solid, brain-melting idiocy of voting for Farage and Reform…

It shouldn’t take the “destructive chaos” of Trump for British voters to desert Farage. We’re already living in the Brexit mess he helped make. But tragically, some prefer prejudice to policy and kid themselves that the Trump-loving grifter is the answer, rather than the problem. (Letter, Times)

Will British Labour politicians learn anything from the Canadian election, and entertain the possibility that there are votes in defying toxic American aggression, and making the case for liberalism? Or will they just keep on inanely chasing the Reform vote? Make your prediction lol.

David Thomas once came to a poetry open mic in Brighton with his poet gf and did a couple of 5 min spoken word bits. When another poet got stage fright and ran off stage he gave him a long encouraging pep talk at the bar, all without saying who he was. I think I was the only one who recognised him.

While one author can create an entirely new world unassisted, Meta requires 7 million worlds to create a pale facsimile of one human's creativity. It's clear to us which is more valuable. We are extremely proud to stand behind Jason's words. Keep tech overlords in fiction where they belong.

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

Bought OTD in 1970: terrific album, Byrds meet the Stones transmuted through an integrated group led by Arthur Lee, the Sunset Strips pop art politician. Love the jangle rush of I Can’t Explain, My Flash on You and Gazing, but the quieter songs really make it, Signed D.C and Mushroom Clouds Falling

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.
