Not content with selling out Ukraine to Russia and thereby putting the security of America’s allies at risk, the Trump regime is trashing the reputation of US science and risking the health of its children by rewriting the CDC website to suggest a link between vaccines and autism

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

Over the next few months I’m going to revisit the cities/areas where I took the photos for the Outsiders project to see if we can reconnect with some of the participants. We did this in York last year with some success. Will also look at documenting some of the tent encampments as an update.

UK Politics has taken on an almost Sisyphean turn this week & who better to highlight the mess than @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social .
The PM insists all's well at No. 10 while others speak of a coup...
So who is calling the shots at No. 10 or even the BBC for that matter?
Meanwhile Reform's vigilantes are out in force, Farage fumes & Jaywick tops deprivation list.
Pecksniff has so much to write about...

When Reform and Tories are goose-stepping ever further towards ethno-nationalist extremism, planning mass deportations of immigrants and Farage talks of a returns deal with the Taliban, it would seem that many of the poppy-police have entirely forgotten what Remembrance Day is all about.

Superb post. Read this #RachelReeves. BTW, why aren't you, as Chancellor, on this platform, it's a rational space?
Labour whispers “hard choices.”
The Tories shout “more cuts.”
Reform shouts “maths is optional.”
The Bear hears only one thing: snip-snip-snip.
