Potato painter, friend of magpies. Nostalgia is the cage we make for ourselves. We must all curate our own mythologies. Sometimes the only sensible thing to do is shut myself in a dark room and scream myself hoarse

If JK Rowling genuinely wanted to protect women and girls she would be out there protesting about and taking action against X not obsessing with people's genitalia

I am going to form a band of George Orwell lookalikes to sing the songs of Cerys Matthews.

I am going to call them Homage to Catatonia

Wes Streeting warning against destabilising NATO. I suppose I better find something else to do today then

i would suggest an online safety act that canโ€™t deal with CSAM on a widely used social network frequented by most westminster public figures isnโ€™t doing a very good job of keeping anybody safe online

I had hoped to get through life without living in a fascist country or seeing a global war. Looking like I might be disappointed on both scores

Immigrants are a net good and more people should be saying so. Signed, an immigrant.

Mine too, I can't get my head around it. That said I would read a batman/v for vendetta crossover. I think Moore would have to write it though. I wouldn't trust it to anyone else. I might have to buy a copy of V for V again to read it for clues!

According to the Guardian the contest to be Deputy Leader of the Labour Party could be a battle for the soul of the party.

I don't imagine that Satan will give it up without a fight though

While it's sad for Angela Rayner the argument that it is no worse than the conservatives did cuts no ice. We didn't vote for no worse, we voted for better

Can I just day that in ONE DAY as green party leader, Polanski has been more supportive of trans people than at least three whole parties worth of politicians

I always thought weโ€™d never be subjected to someone worse than Boris Johnson but Kier Starmer has nailed it.
This is an insane government with few morals and even less integrity.

Either Labour is in some kind of far right headlock that is cutting off the blood supply to its brain and soul. Or it cynically hopes flag-mania and anti-immigrant posturing make it look strong and patriotic.
Neither position is compatible with responsible leadership or success for the country.

Of all the Labour cabinet that we have the one I detest the most is Wes Streeting

I wouldnโ€™t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children.

They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

The Labour playbook is basically do the authoritarian fascism but shaking your head the whole time to show you dont agree with it

The biggest threat to women in this country doesn't come from immigrants or refugees or trans women.

It comes from white British men.

I have come to the conclusion that Keir Starmer is as out of his depth and has no more idea what he is doing than Theresa May or Liz Truss.

Won power and doesn't know what he wants to do with it and even if he did know is not competent enough to achieve it.

I can't help but feel that someone should be reporting the Cabinet to the Prevent Program, they certainly seem to be at risk of radicalisation.

When one of the lunatics protesting at hotels kills a refugee I hope the police charge Nigel Farage as an accessory

The EHRC should be banning Scottish Labour from using public bathrooms.

I'm always reminded of this scene when the public cheer on these two bit, authoritarian populists who demand ripping up laws, rights & conventions to solve all our problems.

Just when you thought things couldn't get worse for Gaza and the Palestinians come reports that the war criminal Blair is attending the White House meeting on a postwar Gaza.
