Suella Braverman's book PATRIOT came out today. It's 503 grams, costs £30 and tells the story of one politician's struggle against reality. Mine is currently 99p on kindle. Weighs nothing. Is all about traitors and villains... And people love it. Choices www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F2FHD18...

Arthur Tress credits his friend and fellow photographer Duane Michals with opening his eyes to the possibilities of photography. “He said a photograph can be anything. It can be a sequence, you can write on the photograph, paint on it, make collages, tell a story. Revolutionary.”

NEW: Who funds Nigel Farage? And why has it taken till now for any journalistic scrutiny? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social who has tracked him for a decade exposes how the UK press & regulators looked the other way 🧵👇

A court in Istanbul has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on charges of crimes against humanity, according to Türkiye Today. The court granted the prosecutor's request to send a request to Interpol for his international search.

So we now have a #HillsboroughLaw to 'force' people to tell the truth? We have long suggested for a law where it's illegal for any politician to lie! Sadly most of the 650 people that could implement this are not interested in a #Manicfesto pledge that would see them jailed🎩

More than 1m Europeans have called for a full suspension of the EU's trade agreement with Israel. However the EU is planning just a partial suspension, tariffs on only 40% of Israel's exports. This not acceptable. Full suspension of the Trade Agreement with Israel. NOW.

Happy Father's Day. How about a super quiet, efficient air cleaner for a gift? At 10% off? One that helps others to have one of their own? If that sounds good, we may have a solution. Code CRFUK10 corsirosenthalfoundation.org.uk #CleanAir

The British Establishment has about as much understanding of the Silicon Valley mob, their products and their motivations as a cat does a laser pointer and reacts in more or less the same way whenever one turns up

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised. RT if you know it has to be.

I feel like small matters such as “selling off most of the things that help governments to make themselves useful, out of pure hardcore ideological conviction” and “a pathological loathing for investment in services and infrastructure” may also have contributed
