Travelling on the Tuba
I was recently commissioned to capture portraits & headshots of musicians in the collective London Brass.
Our shoot took place in Covent Garden, so I couldn't resist taking this fun photo outside the Underground Station.
They're off to Tooting Bec!

In Sicily we have a devastated eastern coastline and an entire town sliding into oblivion. Minimum €2bn damage to fix. Salvini refuses to use any of the €13.5bn set aside for the Messina Strait bridge. Tomorrow he is coming to view the devastation. Will be interesting to see the reception he gets.

Yet another way Labour is such a bottomless pit of disappointment.
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Zahawi - another useful idiot.
Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

According to the International Organization for Migration there have been 1,190 deaths of people crossing the central Mediterranean so far this year (not including this tragedy). Many others will have died without anybody noticing or caring.
116 people have drowned after a boat carrying migrants sank off the coast of Tunisia. One survivor was rescued by a fishing boat.

Even in these times of rapidly shifting norms, there was something shocking about the recent Home Office change in internal guidance, slipped in without the need for legislative scrutiny, to deny British citizenship to anyone arriving in the UK “in an unauthorised manner”;
Denying refugees citizenship? How low can we go?
