Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform.

Gravestone inscribed: Alistair Stephen Fabian Mitchell. 13-6-1957, 10-2-2019. Barrister of the Middle Temple. My brain, socialist. My heart, anarchist. My eyes, pacifist. My blood, revolutionary.

As International Women’s Day 2025 passes, an image of Lady Wulfruna, founder of the city of Wolverhampton in England. Women have had power taken away from them throughout history, and regained it. The oppressor always seeks to oppress who they fear. Not recognising IWD doesn’t make it go away.
