HUGE UPDATE: we halted Amazon's panel at Climate Week. We shut it down so hard that every guest and every speaker had to leave the premises. No one was able to return. Their whole event lasted less time than their warehouse workers' pee break.

I haven't been to Clacton since I was a child - but @countbinface.bsky.social is making me want to go with these videos.

Our voting system doesn't work. I disagree with Reform on almost everything - but they won 14% of the vote and just 5 seats, while Labour formed a majority of 412 on 33.7% of the vote. That leaves millions of votes meaning nothing, and a politics that lurches from one direction to another.

After ten years of the Conservatives’ Brexit experiment, the British public have had enough. Nigel Farage pocketed a £5 million ‘reward’ for the damage he’s caused, while the rest of us are paying for it dearly. It’s time to end the chaos and fix our broken relationship with Europe.

I was once in NY and asked shyly if I could join the NY Public Library. They practically snatched my UK passport from my hands to register me, and I love still my red membership card. Since then I've never passed a library abroad without asking to join, and significantly I have never been told no.

I don't know what the conventions are on sharing children's work, but when you're a cartoonist and your 6yo's homework is to draw the PM, and he comes up with this cracking image, it feels like there's an obligation.

It's hard to breathe under the chokehold that mining lobbyists have on this government Together, we can break the grip of the fossil fuel lobby, and elect a government that protects the air we breath, the water we drink, and the places we love.

Bear in mind that every single reform voter in the constituency voted yesterday. There is a ceiling for reform. There just aren't enough complete cunts to ever put reform in power
