Happy Winter Solstice everyone. One of my first oil paintings from 1996 of Avebury where I went to primary school. Being there had a profound influence on my work. Lighter days ahead.

Comparing MPs pay with Doctors. Isn't it amazing, austerity for everyone except Billionaires and MPs. What a coincidence.

Irish President Catherine Connolly, this afternoon, received Swedish activist Ms. Greta Thunberg at Áras an Uachtaráin on a courtesy call. Great to see two strong women on the right side of history!

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism in the UK over the past year. How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard? news.sky.com/story/terror...

I'm sharing this here, as I have on Facebook and Instagram, but there's no account on here to share from, and I just think this is wonderful. A really good balance of design and implementation, and appears to achieve everything it set out to do, and it *SO* appeals to my inner 'work nerd'.

🎉 Absolutely delighted to welcome Jamie Driscoll to the Green Party. 👏🏼 He has a track record of demonstrating his commitment towards our communities alongside empowering them. 💚 Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

An insider says waste, including acid + chemicals from an old ICI site, was once stored in pools, by the site of the current Jameson Road landfill. I sampled near a discharge outlet below the landfill + had it tested for PFAS. Catch the results on @theworld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...

Sewage dumping near swimming spots in England getting worse. Govt expects end to illegal dumping into waterways by mid-century. Despite illegality corporate permits not cancelled, puny fines, execs not prosecuted, bills hiked, dividends paid, investment neglected. archive.ph/qMctS

Tomorrow I will mainly be finishing the painting and gilding on this long tailed titmouse icon before adding it to my website #painting #art #birds #icon #triptych

Tory legacy. Thousands of flood defences protecting homes or businesses in England are below the required condition. Years of austerity, cuts to council funding, deregulation, indulging builders to build in flood plains, lack of investment by water companies. Country deserves better.

UK households cut spending at fastest pace in 5 years. Average real wage stuck at 2008 level. Energy, water, broadband, rents, grocery, dentist, vets prices rising at more than CPI. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Can't rebuild without redistribution.

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation. In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills. Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors. No end to nightmare without public ownership.

A Pembrokeshire Christmas, available now. This little icon is painted on 23 carat gold leaf that has been laid on vintage Italian folding wood panels. Possibly the perfect gift you could buy yourself or someone special. Dm for details if you’re curious

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Three more British MEPs in Nigel Farage’s bloc now alleged to have “followed the script” given to Nathan Gill by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors. At least eight UKIP and Brexit Party MPs were focus of efforts by Nathan Gill www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’m doing a second auction for Patch, a local charity that provides food, cloths and toys for people in poverty. At Christmas time they gift toys to kids who’ve had a referral. What could be more in the spirit of Christmas? This little wren is up for auction to raise money for toys. Please dig deep

Sheringham Bus Shelter demolition latest: I jokingly said a couple of days ago that there would probably be a song before too long, with people on Facebook trying to get it to Christmas No. 1 Today: There is a song... youtu.be/lt3tiLGrJa4?...

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire. Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines. Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

It’s the time of year when I do my Christmas auction. This mouse icon is up for auction and it’s to raise money for Shelter Cymru & Doctors without borders. 100% of the money raised will go to these charities on a 50-50 basis.

Its that time of year! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhVh...

Just have a think - On the "National Emergency Briefing" - 27th November 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sa7...

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more. This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich. This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.

🎉 We've now hit £200,000! 📈 It keeps going up and up so we've set a new stretch target! 🙌🏼 Thank you to everyone who's donated. 💚 Hope is here. It's all of us. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hopeishere

The tide is turning. Even the Telegraph is now admitting the damage the Brexit deal has done to the economy.

Moving towards our stretch target of £200,000! A huge thank you to everyone who's donated - we're gonna challenge Labour and take the fight to Reform! www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

The Labour Government refused a 1% asset tax on the super rich, yet raised taxes on people already struggling. All whilst their "black hole" turned out to be utter nonsense. Active choices to refuse to fund our communities which they desperately need. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Cryptocurrency: corrupting elections. If Spain is at risk the UK is even more so:- “Spain has a total ban on anonymous donations, (whilst) the UK allows anonymity for individual and cumulative donations from the same source under the value of £500. www.spotlightcorruption.org/crypto-donat...

You just cannot take the iPaper seriously when it wheels out Kwasi ‘mini budget’ Kwarteng to comment on the budget. We don’t *ever* want to hear from this arrogant clown again. “No prudence” FML.
