A red poster mounted on a wall beneath a decorative light fitting, displaying twelve celebrity headshots arranged in three rows of four, each labelled with their names. The names shown include Angelina Jolie, Maria Sharapova, Sania Mirza, Shakira, Aishwarya Rai, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Shilpa Shetty, Richard Gere and Kiara Advani.
Amongst a host of dodgy qualities in the restaurant we were in last night, the logic of the many poster montages eluded me. The political one included Ghengis and Imran khan and Deng Xiaoping
There is always a tweet.
In only condemning Iranian attacks we become complicit in the terror being inflicted on Iranian people . It’s war built on the hubris of two men but the workd durrly knows this www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Never again can Labour say that a Green vote is a wasted vote. You don't have to compromise and tacitly endorse Labour's concessions to the far-right anywhere. This is so so huge!

Every vote for Labour helps Reform. It’s vote Green or get Reform in Gorton and Denton.
#VoteGreen
Poll showing voting intentions in the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election. 32% Green 29% Reform 26% Labour
If you’re a traditional Labour voter repeating the Labour spin that a Green vote will split the vote and is effectively a vote for Reform, this independent poll tells a different story.
Don’t be loyal to a party that has abandoned its Labour values. Vote Green.
The only vote to defeat Reform.
Goddarnit, my hopes are up. Only way I’ve been coping this season is by feeling hopeless. #COYS

Kudos for unpicking all this in a way my brain can get around. Truly reveals how much reading between the lines, assumption and minute interpretations of even single words can, whichever way a case goes, have remarkable implications.
This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act
