Absolutely correct from Starmer here. Sharp contrast to the equivocal response to the last Robinson/Musk rally - a very welcome change.

‘Reform councillor quits after being revealed and exposed as Reform councillor’

Is that Chekhov’s Gun in your pocket or will you just be pleased to see me later?

Reform councillors be like "I'm a racist but..."

Inevitable, really. We've lost a big chunky pledge. Life happens, just got to deal with it. We're on £1226 out of £1600, with 18 days to go. So, if you like big epic space fantasy adventure stories, do us a favour and check out #TheEvenfallLegion on #Kickstarter Please share this post. Thank you.

This is your periodic reminder that word of mouth moves more books than any formal advertising! I invite you to rec something you've recently enjoyed -- preference for the stuff that's *not* already extremely well-known and talked about everywhere.

This drive to rehabilitate the foul racist pig Enoch Powell has been going on literally my entire life. It's ironic because the 'rivers of blood' speech was clearly recognised as racist, and widely condemned as such, including by Tories, at the time. We're being asked to misremember clear history.

Gosh, are we going to do something about the people pushing a terrifying all channels carnival of hate and fear where migrants get the blame for all social woes?

Snikt! If you like this one, do you know you can get some original art as one of the add-ons of our Evenfall Legion Kickstarter? An epic space fantasy adventure for fans of the original Star Wars trilogy, Bone, Usagi Yojimbo and Samurai Jack. www.kickstarter.com/projects/169...

Hey, friend - Keep making comics. Share your stories. Your art makes a difference. 💜

the people who make comics are the most passionate and driven people you will ever know

I adore this woman.

I did a redesign of my site cjcamba.com and also created a page for my comic project, Furtivo. I'll post pages as I get them completed. Cover and page 1 are up!

Here's something that should happen but probably won't - ask Burnham what his plans for Makerfield are as a local MP. Research some local issues & quiz him on them. Make it clear the locals are just being used as pawns. Y'know, the way journalists completely failed to do in Clacton with Mr Toad.

It’s 2026, in Oklahoma has finally made child marriage illegal. Congratulations? Also WTF.

There's a new episode of our daft pop culture panto video podcast out today and we're dealing with some of our childhood favourites. Tons of visual extras and bonus jokes so as ever #WatchItOnTheBigTelly and please tell your friends about it.

faith in humanity restored

Also, what did Musk allegedly want saying that was so heinous *Nigel Farage* refused to say it?

WHOA!

Just don't use A.I. for writing, ever, and if A.I. fucks up a rhetorical device you have to stop using it, your chortling "I wish people were as clever as MEEEE" whimsy can get fucked

I think this maybe the most niché bit of trivia I’ve ever heard.

This is an abomination and, meaning no disrespect to the human creators on the book, should be disqualifying from any award eligibility

STOP USING AI YOU UNCREATIVE CUNTS

Last year in Dublin, I heard @frankcottrell_, the UK Children’s Laureate, say, “We wouldn’t be making things for children if we were not optimistic,”… ….and I think about that a lot in my job.

Would it be very stupid of me to read 10 books and listen to 48 hours of podcasts in order to write an unauthorised comic book biography of a famous band? Because that's what I'm thinking of doing. I'd try to pitch it to a publisher, too, because I'm a glutton for punishment. And being ignored.

“And we now announce the latest Reform councillors…”

BBC’s Tom Edwards: ‘BREAKING: Reform UK has LOST minority control of Worcestershire County Council - after being overthrown by a shock rainbow coalition. The Conservatives have teamed up with the Greens, Lib Dems and independents to form a power-sharing alliance in the last few minutes’

GOP getting ahead of their own sweeping cuts by saying the immigrants & "fraudsters" are taking all the money. It's wild how this lie *always works.*

the UK now has the least transphobic Health Secretary in years (nobody)

People leaving Labour because of; Transphobia............7% (Streeting) Immigration ............18% (Mahmoud) Ableism...................16% (Streeting) Gaza....................... 19% (Starmer) By contrast; People leaving Labour because it is Too Left/"woke"........ 2% (All of them)

Wes Streeting should be held accountable for the deaths of children he caused by removing their medical treatment on ideological grounds, despite warnings from experts. His resignation is not enough, he should be prosecuted for the deaths he's responsible for.

Just read the words "He has largely remained dead since" in a write-up about a comic character and this may possibly be the most super-hero comics sentence ever.

Wes Streeting isn't a Marmite politician. Some people like Marmite.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

It's all too easy to jump on the bandwagon, but I would also happily accept five million quid and never go to Clacton.

Is it former Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Goronwy Roberts?

Looks like we've entered a dead calm phase... Could we break from it? Please consider pledging (if you haven't already). Thanks! #TheEvenfallLegion on #Kickstarter - Join the Legion!

Can you imagine if Sadiq Khan ever tried anything like this? They would hound that man out of the continent. bsky.app/profile/anna...

Oh FFS, so now we potentially have a situation where Burnham stands in Makerfield but loses, we end up with a Reform mayor and Labour look like even more clueless fuckwits than before. The rampant ego and desperate need to further their own careers make Streeting and Burnham as bad as each other.

I think Wes Streeting could genuinely be the person who unites a fractured Britain and helps us heal the country's wounds. Because whether Brexiter or decent human being, Tory, Labour, Green, Lib Dem, or Reform, left, right, or centre, we can *all* agree that Wes Streeting is an odious, toxic, shit.

Craven Wes’s New Nightmare. Is this anything?

consider just for an absolute fucking tiny second that what you people are seriously doing is going to the electorate with "we can't find, in our entire parliamentary party of hundreds of people, one competent person"

Right, we've had our fun, back to ignoring Wes Streeting again, everyone

Janet Ellis and a cucumber, 1986

Andy Burnham will force Keir Starmer to quit as PM by standing in by-election after by-election until Labour loses its majority.

This leadership shit, even now, is still not as important as the fact that FIVE MILLION QUID HAS BEEN PAID TO THE LEADER OF ONE OF OUR BIGGEST POLITICAL PARTIES

Starmergeddon update: 1. Wes still can't find 81 people who can stand being in the same room as him; 2. Everyone else is holding fire until they can jump in to be the "anyone but Streeting" candidate.
