I was extremely honoured to have created the backdrop artwork for the magnificent @nadineshah Glastonbury performance earlier today. Of course you won’t have seen it on the BBC as they didn’t show any of it.

🚨 BREAKING: Despite overwhelming evidence they risk fuelling genocide in Gaza - High Court says it can’t intervene in govt's decision to keep supplying F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel.

This is hugely disappointing.

The govt MUST end all arms transfers to Israel NOW 🚫.

Paid activities (accessible version)

UK Gov't pays people held in immigration centres – detained by the Home Office, typically without judicial review – a standard rate of £1 (one pound!) an hour to work.

No end in sight — The European Correspondent In the UK, immigration authorities can detain non-British citizens indefinitely – and they do.

"Immigration detention should be strictly time-limited," said Steve Valdez-Symonds, programme director at @amnestyuk.bsky.social, pointing to harm caused by prolonged uncertainty. "The cruelty is exacerbated by the extraordinary and wholly unacceptable length of time for which some people are held."

In the UK, the gov’t can detain non-British citizens indefinitely – and it does – all without a court ruling or judicial review.

- More than 20,000 ppl detained last year in immigration facilities
- A third of those detained were held longer +1 month
- One in ten were detained +6 months

Five years ago, Britain left the EU. The divorce was painful: years of bitter negotiations and a series of rejections led to sour feelings on both sides. But half a decade later, time (and geopolitics) is beginning to heal Brexit's wounds.
