Here is the violent and dangerous hellhole of the current right wing narrative

I'm just gonna post a piece of my art from my files every day til the New Year because WHY NOT. Here's a pastel I did in 2018.

She does not arrive as comfort; she arrives as truth. Her ghostly spectre in the dead of winter reminds us that death is still close in the silence, but that something listens thepagancollective.com/2025/12/15/t...

Massively overdue. Very glad to see this happening Comes a week after a Labour MP in Commons cited Democracy for Sale’s cash for access investigation as evidence of how weak Britain’s are

If, like me, you find yourself needing to step back for a moment and let the current fury of the world roll past, consider the architecture and workmanship of an English cathedral - Norwich, in this case. A sanctuary for 900 years...

Never forget that the main purpose of a vigil for people who have died in tragic circumstances is to take a selfie and make it all about you.

Lovely, from @stephenking.bsky.social, on Rob Reiner: “I marveled at what a good story the truth could make in the right hands.”

The unconventional profile of the new leader of Britain's Green Party, who embraces "eco-populism" and has made social justice a central focus, has allowed his historically marginal party to claim the political space to the left of Labour. (£) www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

Something the Irish church might consider. The Church, despite lecturing for centuries on the sin of lying still owes some €1.5b to survivors, to date the Irish taxpayer has been picking up the tab. Most Irish Catholic Churches are 19th C monstrosities* which could be used to build social housing.

That’s some day Labour: - Workers Rights Bill passes - Review of international interference in our politics - Charter Review of the BBC 👏👏👏👏

Zack Polanski, "I back the patients, which is exactly why I back the doctors in what they chose to do" "They've had a 20% cut in the last 17 years" "If we want to make sure we are investing in our NHS, protecting patients, we need to put the money in"

I love the way he's bucking the trend and going for it 🌱✊🏻

All Reform's Andrea Jenkins can say - between teenage groans - is " that's rubbish ". Zack is in a different league.

Those #Tory bastards not only made the 1% filthy rich, estimates suggest that #austerity may have caused >190K excess deaths. 1️⃣Life expectancy stagnation, esp. in the poorest 20% of areas. 2️⃣Health #inequality: The most disadvantaged were hit by austerity ➡️ rising mortality rates. 3️⃣ #NHS weakened.

I must try harder to avoid accidentally hearing a couple of minutes of the LBC Nick Ferrari show, for the sake of my blood pressure.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.
