Good. Now he needs to scrap Palantir, police facial recognition, the proscription of Palestine Action, the prosecution of climate activists and Starmer’s draconian anti-protest laws. Then ban foreign/crypto donations, ban 2nd jobs and gifts for MPs and make all lobbying have to be publicly declared.

“As a 14 yr-old getting my first job at the grocery store down the street I learned power relationship the first day I placed the apron on. I learned that what I earned was controlled by the person above me … that the boss controlled everything” James Araby in his new piece at stansburyforum.com

#Stunday #ECK Portraiture is pretty rare for myself now... but occasionally I see someone of interest - such as this guy on Dartmoor wearing not walking headgear - but a Fez. So I asked for his portrait... #Photography #portrait #Dartmoor

This is a very sad day for Watford. When I first moved there, printing, ink manufacturing and paper making were three of the biggest industries in the town - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A woman weeps over the genocide in Gaza as she waits to be arrested as a terrorist for holding up a piece of cardboard. Parliament Square today.

Hard to see how you can be on the side of working people and also promoting AI. The two are mutually exclusive.

A magnificent Kodachrome of New York in 1964 by Evelyn Hofer. Like a scene from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

Photo of Shinyong from back in about 2018. Fashion shot for a kimono company. She was late arriving. Rare for her. So I had about 5mins to get five angles in this location. This shot? Me shooting from the opposite side of the road with an 80-200mm lens. During gaps in the traffic.

At Shingle Street (see earlier re-post) in 2018. Orford is in the distance between its castle and its church. I don't often photograph people, but their colours stand out well against the drab background of shingle and parched grass,

Early stroll. The sky’s cloudsuit fits where it touches. A pigeon strides towards a car as though it’s going to drive it. I thought that bottle top was a pound coin. A static whirlpool of straw. People gaze from upstairs windows at four police cars with flashing lights.

“I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain—and back in rain…” The inside back cover of our new Nighthawks zine which should be available in a month or so.

Rusty Cheezo and Kenneth Gilpin in a canoe. Photographed near the Cree community of Eastmain in northern Quebec in 1973. Legrady was a young photographer in Montreal when he met Billy Diamond, later Chief and a Cree political leader, at a bar. Diamond invited him to come north to

National Year of Reading should extend to a decade, inquiry says. Now that’s a grand idea!

If you want to support our Rebellion! touring exhibition on the importance of peaceful protest buying a zine really helps 👇

The positive migrant stories like this in our Rebellion! exhibition in Newcastle seem to have sent right wing types up there into meltdown from the comments in the visitor book. I guess the juxtaposition of positive stories next to anti-migrant protests is very uncomfortable for some people.

I read but cannot find a report where a very large percentage of refugees and migrants end up working in the public sector, part to give something back, but mostly in awe of what a functioning government and its institutions look like.

I’m now working on a zine of my Nighthawks series which will include this one 👇

From my Nighthawks series. #StreetPhotography

Early stroll. My footsteps are my theme tune. The sky wears lines of orange makeup. In the distance: someone in a red jacket, cycling. A cat sits beside a pile of sand. That doll on the front seat of that van.

Is there anybody going to listen to my story All about the gull who came to stay

Today a little photo series from another time, Plus the inner worlds of Black quilters, Graig Easton’s new book, isolation by design, an end in SF history, questions of life, death and culture On Maybe This Week, Maybe Next Week robertgumpert.com/blog/maybe-t...

She is one of my favorite photographers. Her story is heartbreaking, I wish she lived to see the recognition her work is getting now.

If you like this photo there is a new book of her photos which looks fantastic britishculturearchive.co.uk/product/vand...

Am sure you already know, but behind your POV here was where the Bever picture was taken… last time I looked there was another of those tractors roughly where the Fiesta was in CK’s picture… I think Bever is still around, too…

… whilst Staithes, down the road, becomes a tourist trap… which really isn’t much good for locals, either…

Must be fantastic to see in such an immediate and direct way how you are engaging folk through your work… the arrows are like social media responses, right..!

Thanks for this Marc. Great to see her excellent work back in print! For anyone else also looking to buy this, the link is: tishmurtha.co.uk/books

Rusting tractor near abandoned fishing boats, Skinningrove, North Yorkshire, from my new series ‘50 Years On’. There was a thriving fishing community here at one time, now severely diminished.

Rishan from the asylum and immigration section of my Rebellion! zine. She escaped religious persecution and came to England when she was 16. She has now qualified as an NHS nurse. The zine can be purchased here https://marcdavenant.com/product/rebellion-zine/

Early stroll. I unlock the door/unlock the morning. A red van passes a parked red van. Tulips painted on a brown bin. Two unsmoked cigarettes on the pavement. A banana skin adorns a double yellow line.
