The NHS is for people, not profit. But the government’s next move could change that.

With the Autumn Budget looming, all signs point to more private partnerships and less public accountability.

Help us expose what’s happening before it’s too late.

This government could have taken on the super-rich to tackle inequality.

They chose to fan the flames of racism and embolden the far-right instead.

Our country needs a change in direction, now.

It’s time for a real alternative that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.

Have signed this joint statement, together with Green Party leaders from across the UK calling on the BBC to withdraw from Eurovision if Israel is allowed to participate.

The BBC can not be complicit in any whitewashing of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Just Stop Oil closing the M25 was a massive story, so I imagine the press will be all over the outcome of this case

Get ready for a barrage of 'climate activists justified' headlines and 'maybe we were wrong about JSO' op-eds

A picture of Lindsay Whittle, alongside the words "local champion", "pro-Wales party", and "Standing up for Caerphilly." Beneath that is a picture of Llyr Powell for Reform UK, with the words "parachuted in", "anti-Wales agenda", and "party backs Trump + NHS privatisation. At the top, "Caerphilly by-election: 23 October 2025"

Voters know they can trust Plaid Cymru’s Lindsay Whittle - a local champion with a proud record of fighting for Caerphilly - to stand up for them.

If you want to stop Reform’s agenda and put the interests of Caerphilly first, voteΒ PlaidΒ Cymru on Thursday the 23rd of October.

Three photos of abstract curves and shapes, mostly shades of red with dark shadows. Actually just close ups of a bottle of summer fruits squash, backlit by a shaded desk lamp. I'd rather be asleep.

A man's face fills the frame. There is a large moth perched on his face. It completely covers the lower half of his face. Its head is on his nose, the bottom of its wings are below his chin, and the tips of the wings stick out well beyond the sides of his face. His eyebrows are raised and he is rolling his eyes in mock surprise.

Worldwide Half-frame Photography Day Welcome to the inaugural Worldwide Half-frame Photography Day

Tomorrow is 'WorldWide Half-Frame Photography Day'. Of course ANY day is 'half-frame' day in my book... Here's a site with a growing list of half-framers if you are in need of some inspiration. Its 'hip to be half' 😁

May be quirky, but much more than a point and shoot. Used them a lot in the 1980s for community photography workshops.

But more interestingly, I also re-discovered a Bencini Koroll 24 camera, which takes 24 images on a 120 roll, which look more like half frame (tall and narrow) than the 645 idea.
So, in just over 24 hours, I have gone from zero interest in #wwhfpd25 to having three operational cameras.

Another good idea! So I went to my drawer of derelict 120 cameras (box and folding), and eventually found a working Ensign 16-on folding camera.

Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on your stunning victory.

Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope!

Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to bring about a fairer, kinder world.

A black and white photo of a bright sky with a black cloud filling the top right of the frame. The edge of the cloud is brightly lit, and makes a strong diagonal line zigzagging across the image. There is a tall pointed tree filling the foreground, silhouetted against the light sky. Probably a cypress tree; it is a solid tall triangular shape.

The best thing about this photo is that I took it from my front doorstep.
