Very sad to hear of the death of Martin Parr. He was an incredible photographer and champion of British photography. He was so friendly when he invited our dad to his annual photography festival in Bristol a few years ago - gracious and welcoming. His legacy will live on far and wide.
The podcast is honestly the best I’ve ever listened to. It is like a ten part spy thriller; only not fiction, but real life, with British voters the victims, and too many British politicians choosing to turn a blind eye. Each episode is better than the last, devastating in conclusions. MUST HEAR.
Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring exposed how a Kremlin-linked influence network operated in plain sight - and how the government chose not to look.
🚨 Last night, it won GOLD at the APA Awards 🌟🧵
Yay!! I couldn’t be there but Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring just won gold at the APA podcast awards!!
Whole thing was crowdfunded by @the-citizens.bsky.social to highlight 5-year legal case to get an investigation into Russian interference in UK politics. Power to the people!

On today's podcast I talk to teenage boys in Manchester about Adolescence, influencers, porn, toxic masculinity, girls and much more. www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...
Yes, very much holding onto these words of Luke’s from the last episode - 'it feels to me that in those difficult times, people of good faith and good cheer and good spirit should support each other, and I think that's what we do.' 🙏
