There is nothing to celebrate today I admit to waking up feeling tired, fatigued, and drained this morning. That's not normal for me. I am usually pretty good at starting the day and usually feel refreshed after the night. This feeling...

There is nothing to celebrate today www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... This is, to be blunt, a bad day for the world, for humankind, for people who care, and for those who need the help of others. Those who will now govern the USA do not care. And that will harm us all.

Repost if you are sick to the back teeth of billionaires using their platforms in the media to peddle their disinformation, warped views on politics and their sociopathic opinions.

Left: Nadine Dorries says that child sexual abuse was never discussed the entire time she was serving in cabinet

Right: Boris Johnson criticised spending money on child sexual abuse inquiries, "£60 million spaffed up the wall"

Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action.

“The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”

Musk is badly misinformed, has been corrected by CPS, inquiry lawyers, and the victims - but he won't admit to a mistake, so he's just using his platform to spread bullshit.

Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?

I know it’s a parliamentary petition, but apparently they get press coverage if they go viral 😅

And this one is very meta, it’s about the coordinated disinformation poisoning our politics!

Let’s get it to 100k at a rate that’s hard to ignore?

Nigel Farage Teams Up With Extreme Anti-Abortion Group and Calls for Debate on Restricting Abortion Rights in UK The Reform Leader is joining forces with a US-based Christian legal group, which campaigns for abortion to be outlawed around the world

So Nigel Farage, who has repeatedly accused migrants of making women in the UK unsafe, is now refusing to act against a fellow Reform MP who was jailed for beating up his own girlfriend and is now calling for a 'debate' on restricting women's reproductive rights

For those of you that are waking up to snow here’s a panel of mine called ‘Our Narnia’ as it depicts the area near our home where we and friends have walked and played for years. The fall of snow is so enchanting in its transformation of a familiar place into a wonderland.
Available as a print.
