Just realised that this was my first Hamlet… Stephen Dillane 😎

A few of the things I've been working on this week.

❌Cancel the Thames Water bailout ✅Nationalise Thames Water now 🖋️Sign the @londonygs.bsky.social petition here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

The super rich have more power than ever before. The old political parties have utterly failed. They've made things worse. We don't have time to mess around. I spoke to @novaramedia.com about why you need to join @greenparty.org.uk novaramedia.com/2025/02/21/t...

I would get the history of the witch panics right before posting saccarine dross like this. going-medieval.com/2023/10/20/y...

This is a must listen. Mina Smallman's story cannot be told enough www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

In October, I had a very long chat with Alan Moore. On magick, sci-fi, the perils of ecological doomerism, the joy of occultist pranks, the psychogeography of Stoke Newington, the invention of the taser - and much more! As a Christmas treat here it is IN FULL. seamas.medium.com/its-a-rabbit...

Calling out lies & misinformation. On 18th Jan people were arrested for being on the wrong bit of pavement & kettled whilst trying to leave Trafalgar Sq! Labour Government could have binned Public Order Act but they are sticking with it. ✊️Solidarity with Ben Jamal. youtu.be/Qe1gc_m_AwU?...

Black ppl are working class poc are working class immigrants are working class disabled ppl are working class trans ppl are working class the notion that working class ppl are bigoted straight white guys is, ironically, a bigoted middle class myth farage, robinson, et al are middle class goons

Pay tax Jim, stop messing up the world for the rest of us with no consequence. youtube.com/shorts/5hckx...

This looks like an amazing opportunity for a poet to work with a fantastic organisation that cares deeply about people, place, and words. 👇👇👇 #Poets #BlueSkyPoets

It'll be stacked up in a toilet in Mar a Lago by next Thursday.

Now this should be interesting!

Oh no.

🤝 Sadiq Khan has admitted Brexit was a mistake and that a new youth mobility scheme is needed. 🤦 However, Keir Starmer has said no. 🇪🇺 Only the Green Party is committed to fixing our relationship with the EU and working together to counter a reckless Trump administration.

I’m reasonably sure an AI chat bot at Dropbox just told me it had children of its own and so empathised with my co worker needing a problem solved before their baby woke from a nap. Slightly scary that.

A number of prominent UK Conservatives' statements about Donald Trump resemble one of those news stories that begins with a magazine feature about a new age mystic who believes he can talk to bears and ends with a newspaper article about a new age mystic being mauled to death by bears.

The rare lesser-spotted "look the evidence all shows that immigration is good for the economy" and "hey maybe Labour can learn from Spain how to beat the far-right by actually opposing their ideas" analysis *all in one article*! More of this please. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

🚨Thames Water gets to add £3bn to its debt mountain. 🚨 @NwogboJohnbosco reacts to the High Court verdict on Sky News this morning. No other country in the world runs its water like this. Public Ownership NOW! weownit.org.uk/act-now/brin...

I wonder if “woke” is the way that lazy opportunist selfish right wing pricks personify their own almost-silenced inner voice of self examination? Does it mean “conscience”, and they’ve externalised it, made it a villain, othered it? A Jiminy Cricket for the 21st Century narc baby.

The US administration and its friends - time to rethink arrangements on cooperating with such a regime #HumanRights #RuleofLaw #Misogyny www.ft.com/content/3f95...

Relatable.

Deciding it’s OK to cuddle up to Nazis in the name of scientific impartiality strikes me as being about as political as you can get. Frankly.
