Can we extract the Reform nonsense from Labour? These immigration proposals are obscene, but the government can be forced to think again.

No administration with a moral core would have put these plans forward, let alone try to enact them without a vote. Once these proposals are in place, they will not be reversed. Make them think again iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...

A view across a shaded lazy river to a small, isolated Buddhist shrine accessible only by boat against an impressive backdrop of karst stack formations and unevenly covered by thick vines of jungle. The humid air particles hang in the air as the sun dips behind the misty mountains towards the horizon

A black & white mixed media, gestural sketch/drawing of an oak leaf on a thin branch, bare tree branches behind. The leaf is highlighted by a surrounding black rectangle. A black strip boarder on the right hand side & a small circle is cut out of the paper. Behind, white pigment & the edge of the rectangle, blurring the distinction between foreground & background. A black& white photograph of bare trees is super imposed over the drawing.

Umm, would love to see Jubilee again. And you’re right, we could do with his spirit now… the current political climate is driving us in the opposite direction 😳

Absolutely missed! Regularly re-read some of his books, particularly Chroma. Haven’t seen any of his films for years though.
