A couple of real oldies, taken on Bold Street, Liverpool. I'd need to search to find the camera and film, maybe HP5 and a Fuji GS645S.

Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won’t be able to do anything else at all | Shabana Mahmood Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people. They don’t want extremes – they want a system that is managed and fair, says home secretary Shabana Mahmood

For example, on immigration. Language that conveys to voters that migrants are a threat - are bad - creates a fear response that drives them into the arms of the right - no matter the policies being proposed. Yesterday's op-ed by the Home Secretary does this.

Several studies have looked at data from elections to see if "move to the right" keeps the far right from winning. Conclusion: it validates right-wing propaganda in voters' minds, repels your own voters.

Here is one.

That would also be great. I'll keep an eye out to see when that shows up

Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after you’ve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why I’m posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky

My sexual freedom odyssey: what ancient African wisdom can teach us about pleasure today By speaking to women across the continent, I discovered how reclaiming pre-colonial rites and rituals can help us find joy in our bodies

Nana & I share the same agent (the wonderful Robert Caskie) & spent a lovely few days together in France a couple of years ago. She's an absolutely inspirational writer & activist, & awesome human. Her new book is published in the US today. Check out this article about it in today's @theguardian.com

Sovereignty for sale Tech monopolies and the future of the nation state

New post just out:

"Sovereignty for sale"

The UK is uniquely exposed to the power of US tech monopolies - from Palantir to AI and cloud services.

Why is it so dangerous? What are other countries doing? And what should we do?

“He had a feeling” is a crazy reason to start a war

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

Media must stop normalizing the far right Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.

Absolutely correct but at this point, we should understand that this is like demanding your dog stops barking. You can calm it down but ultimately, it is still a dog. It’s never going to stop barking, until one day it finally does stop for good. www.politico.eu/article/medi...
