I've not posted for a while but I'm back :) & there's a whole bunch of conversations that I'd already had to help me think how we construct a new world, and will be sharing more of them soon. The next is with the brilliant, compassionate ordained deacon Simon Cross substack.com/@clarejfarre...
A few weeks ago I gave the keynote speech at the Outdoor Arts UK conference, and I made a call to arms to artists to lead on the constructive resistance we need to build the new world that we need. Please watch and share around, thanks! x

Reform could gain another MP this Thursday. That's why we're urging Labour, Lib Dem, & other party supporters to lend their vote to the Greens this time in Gorton & Denton. We've carried out extensive research and it points to this being our best chance of stopping a very real threat from Reform.
David Lammy wants to get rid of juries because they're made up of ordinary people who get to decide on matters the government would rather not have ordinary people involved in.

This woman in Crowborough who took down flags is a hero and I hope she's ok.
Matt Goodwin pulled out of yesterday's hustings in Gorton because the group who organised it weren't impartial enough for him. I thought he'd debate anyone, anytime, any place. Not very marketplace of ideas of you, Matt.
DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

Our friend @nickgardham.bsky.social writes in a guest post for @absurdintelligence.bsky.social that in the last forty years "we have experienced a profound deficit of empathy" in our systems of government and in our democracy.
