Marking World Book Day with some shots of this book about the cruel and broken UK Asylum system from 2017 by talented artist Rudy Loewe (of more recent Brixton tube station mural fame). β€˜Moving Through Borders’ asks β€˜what does freedom mean to you?’ 🀝 w Hull Freedom Festival & @bookworks.bsky.social

Who’s Deciding Where the Bombs Drop in Iran? Maybe Not Even Humans. Behind last week’s scrum between the Trump administration and Anthropic lies a deeper question of how warfare is conductedβ€”and whether accountability even exists anymore.

Truly dystopic.

"we are witnessing the fullest expression of the most inhumane weapons of the century: Autonomous bombs and missiles. Their β€œautonomy” refers to fact that humans need not be in the loop in any meaningful way when deciding where to target or whether to launch such weapons."

Completely stoked about Hannah Spencer's win in Gorton and Denton. Goodwin pulled faces throughout her victory speech like a surly schoolboy. While he recedes into the distance let nothing distract from her powerful words and message of hope. Really looking forward to hearing more from her as MP πŸ’š πŸ”₯

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!

Labour’s *majority* in Gorton and Denton in 2024 – just 19 months ago – was 13,000+. Tonight it got fewer than 10,000 votes total, on an almost identical turnout. In its heartland. That’s what a collapse of your core vote looks like.

There’s a special kind of knot in your throat that comes with being a migrant in Britain today, the kind that always stays in the back of your mind. I’m forever indebted to the Greens for making it go away in a sigh of relief at least for one night. Onwards to the next! πŸ’š

A new politics of hope was born this morning. We do not need to be the cruel nation that Badenoch, Starmer and Farage want. @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party have shown us we have a choice.

I know everyone is focused on politics at Gorton and Denton. I am focussing on a female plumber being the new MP

I have to say this is bloody marvellous. A gain for Parliament, a loss for her profession I am sure.

We always need more plumbers and sparkies and brickies, and female ones at that.

Very funny that the right-wing newspaper attack line on Hannah Spencer was: "Look at this joyful happy single person who loves dogs. She cried when one of them died. Isn't she a freak?"

Amid all the talk about why this or that party won or lost, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that Hannah Spencer was a great candidate - pretty nearly the perfect pick for this constituency.

Great to see #BBCBreakfast starting its program with this clip of Hannah Spencer

"These pictures.. of the deputy leader of the Labour Party Lucy Powell.. you can see written on her face what Labour MPs have been telling me darkly for a few weeks now, which is that this exact scenario, a Green win, Reform in second, Labour in third, is their worst nightmare"

WOOOP! So delighted. Easily the most hopeful figure of 2026. Hannah Spencer MP duly elected! Incredible effort by all the campaigners on the ground. Completely paid off wow wow πŸ’š Hope her greyhounds will be okay with the outcome though!

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

I noticed this too. Beeb ominously quiet about Gorton and Denton.

If you follow or enjoy restful ways of engaging in disability centred filmmaking and writing, this may be of interest πŸ’œ ... and if you just enjoyed Rest Fest then this may be for you too.

But importantly, its for anyone.

I brought this film to the remote body to connect with disability-led spaces / audiences.

In 2024 I re-contextualised my film and published an essay with @jaws-journal.bsky.social Vol. 10.1-2.

The essay is grounded in the lens of invisible illness and chronic fatigue amid rural experience. #devon

Produced in a fruitfully and aptly unhurried way... I really enjoyed working with these two writers and sharing in their experimental and patient approaches.

Watched BBC documentary 'Poison Water' last night - how did I not know about the aluminium poisoning affecting 20,000 people in Cornwall in the late 80s. Pretty much shows there was a high level cover up in the interests of share prices - just on the brink of our water services being privatised.
