From one of my favourite albums, Aqualung by Jethro Tull. Beautiful and haunting animation by Iranian film maker Sam Chegini.

Fascist Reform leader Richard Tice would get REALLY upset if you shared this widely on all forms of social media so lots of people can keep it and bring it out before the next election to show that he is as big a liar as Keir Starmer.

So please don't, he would be *very* upset.

Reform’s previous leader in Wales had been handed a 10 year prison sentence for being a Russian asset.

Other prominent politicians happened to be making Kremlin adjacent statements at the same time, the question “why” should follow them around relentlessly.

This is a great movie… Mononoke II.
The animation is beautiful and the Medicine Seller is a fantastic character. Somehow reminds me of Michael Moorcock’s Jerry Cornelius.

This is true in the EU and, to a slightly lesser extent, in the UK. The very rich hold too much power through vested interest in the US and Europe, but only in the US have they persuaded the poor to accept it as right and proper…

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.

Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned.

We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child

and even worse - these changes were introduced without consultation, warning and no evidence base
🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government

THESE SHOCKING cuts are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child - the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England
