I’ve been secretly rooting for Nnena Kalu and now she’s only won the Turner Prize! An amazing achievement.

Perhaps the prospect might spur her to take charge of her life, go to university? #TheArchers

It's just not making sense that there's no reference to George's probation officer - Azra shld have asked about it, and she surely should have picked up Ed's mention of violence & probed a little, for Ed's sake at least. Feel this SL isn't being dealt with properly #TheArchers

#OtD 9 Dec 1842 one of the founders of contemporary anarchist-communism, Peter Kropotkin, was born. An activist, scientist, and philosopher, he abandoned his aristocratic background in favour of the revolutionary class struggle. Works available here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

Earth is hotter than it’s been in about 125,000 years.
CO2 levels their highest in around 12 MILLION years.
Scientists are warning of 4C+ this century, societal collapse & BILLIONS of deaths.

Imagine a media & politics not interested in talking about this.

We should be furious.

I just came across this today, tidying up back issues. And this particular photo came to mind the other day in a poetry workshop. Martin Park did an extraordinary thing for photography.

I hate that it's necessary to be able to show this. Social welfare should not have to be defended on the basis of cost!

Neneh Cherry, Celeste, Nadine Shah and Brian Eno join Christmas No 1 race with Palestine charity single Lullaby, a reimagining of a traditional Palestinian song, will be released on December 12 to raise money for Choose Love’s Together for Palestine Fund

Lullaby is released on 12th December, but you can pr-order it now to help it get up the charts. And just to say, you can pay as much more as you like than the stated price. Please do if you can #LovePalestine www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

the back end of a pigeon in the air on the corner of the photo. St Paul's Cathedral on a sunny day. The trails of the Red Arrow display team hang in the air - red, white and blue. Puffy clouds. This is London in June.

Peak (Parr) London.

A pigeon photobombs the scene in front of St Paul's Cathedral, moments after the Red Arrows pass. Just the stripes of their colours remain.

Rules on single-sex spaces pose risk to trans people’s mental health, UK charities say Fifteen organisations sign letter expressing deep concern over EHRC guidance being considered by ministers

β€œMental health services should be places of refuge, not risk, and equality protections must strengthen, not erode, the conditions that enable people to feel safe and supported.”

Anti trans policies cause significant harm, but that's what those pushing them want.

Farewell, Martin Parr. Hebden Bridge O.G. His 1975 photograph of Lord Savile’s gamekeepers is unbeatable.

The FIFA trophy for Trump, gold hands reaching up to a gold planet....

The desperate hands of the global south seek to take back an overheated world. Seriously, what's next? The McHamburglar trophy in gourmet cooking? The Pol Pot Human Rights medal? The Jeffrey Epstein childcare grant? The Vladimir Putin democracy fellowship? The Weinstein-Cosby feminism prize?

No child deserves to go hungry. Full stop.

But you should know despite all the headlines ⚠️ 70% of cash from scrapping the two‑child limit will go to kids with at least 1 parent in work.

πŸ’° We can afford to lift kids out of poverty if we just tax the super‑rich.

Question time fans rage defund the BBC after small boat migrants planted in audience.

Question time fans rage defund the BBC after small boat migrants planted in audience.

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.

The β€œimmigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.

And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.
