I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

10 top William Blake images: #4. Blake worked in the golden age of caricature and clearly enjoyed satirical prints. Here’s one of his on the emerging consumerism of the times, carrying a resonance into our own space age. Childish yearning? Admirable aspiration? Note to Musk?
