🕯️ Today, we remember and mourn the ones we have lost.

We will continue to fight for trans rights and equality while doing what we can to protect our community by holding people in power to account.

To all of our siblings who are struggling, we see you, we hear you and you are loved.

It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer…

I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

On the outside, reporters write what they see.
On the inside, writers report what they live, what they hear, feel and notice in ways no one else can.

That’s the power of lived-experience journalism

Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made £250m profits in 3 years,

£87.7m of profits went to care providers owned by private equity controlled from tax havens.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to see us in Banbury last night. What a pleasure it was to perform our songs and read poems to you.

Next up is some place called London on Saturday night. We’re at the Bloomsbury Theatre and incredibly there are still tickets left.
