Jenrick was also the man who ordered the painting over of Disney murals in a children's asylum centre. A real peach.
Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

Good for Paul Testar and Channel 5.
The possibility in today's climate that doors can actually be *opened* rather than slammed shut on writers and creatives is a weird and unfamiliar feeling...

It shouldn't cost bill-payers a penny. The cost of the reservoir should come out of profits before any payouts to shareholders, board members or executives are made;

Many people don’t realize that Big Box retailers (Amazon, Barnes and Noble) take a large percentage of what would otherwise go to small independent presses, literally leaving them with pennies.

Consider supporting small presses by buying from them directly.

Today women MPs wore Suffragette sashes to celebrate Votes for Women–won by civil disobedience & celebrated in Parliament's gift shop.

And yet now the government is asking us to vote to proscribe Palestine Action–a modern civil disobedience group–as terrorists

Finally finished watching Andor on Disney+. I really struggled. Great story, but so many drawn out scenes which completely undermined the pace - something that's happening a lot in TV these days. Thank goodness for the skip forward function! BUT... /

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.

Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.

Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.

The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.
