Text: From the moment this government was elected, it has inflicted suffering and injustice at home and abroad. We need an alternative, now. We don't have to balance the books off the backs of the poor. We don't have to make life harder for disabled people. We don't have to enable genocide. We can do things differently. We can tax the rich to ensure everyone can live in dignity. We can end the privatisation of healthcare, energy. water, rail and mail. We can bring about peace and defend human rights around the world. Up and down the country, there is huge appetite for real change.

On a rough piece of handmade paper is a small monograph made from the letters A and M, drawn in black ink. Beneath it lies a slip of card printed with the name “Adrik Morozov” in English and Cyrillic script, partly obscured by drafting tools and technical sketches.
Recovered fragment, catalogued as FS‑01.
The mark of Dr. A. Morozov appears here: a monograph entwining A and M.
It surfaces again and again throughout the archive.

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London.
We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.
I've glimpsed a few things while driving lately that felt important enough to write down:

My sister sat down with Aucoot recently to talk about Denmark House - her most recent renovation project (which is for sale if you have £3.5 million spare). I'm very, very proud of her.

Mounted police attacking a female bystander during the miners’ strike, Orgreave, June 1984 by John Harris. The police had just beaten a miner terribly and she had taken a photo so they attacked her. They later claimed this photo was doctored and that it didn’t happen.

I haven’t oscillated since 2018... 8 TOWER FAN 1: Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh… TOWER FAN 2: Cheers mate 9 TOWER FAN 1: But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists. By the time they remember, new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon. 10 TOWER FAN 1: So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out... 11 TOWER FAN 1: ...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than. 12 [The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder] PERSON: APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA
