“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.”

Farage - the foghorn of failure.

Piece on how the British right has managed to convince a significant minority that it would be in their interests to get rid of the European Convention on Human Rights. My suggestion: rather than capitulate, make human rights part of a wider politics of equality.

Seriously though, Scotland is currently The Best Thing for my mental health. I drove on some back roads two days ago, in the sunshine, and I thought my heart would explode with the beauty.

Reform's vision for society:

Young people are too highly paid.

Working people need to work harder.

The public services you rely on are too well resourced.

The rich are paying too much tax.

Not exactly hope and change is it?

Omg this is just so disgusting. 😔 How can they be SO fearful of people just being themselves, not hurting anyone.

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

Greens - Lower bills through nationalising our public services, wealth tax on assets and huge increase in investment in our public services.

Labour - ID Cards, random statements about flags and Austerity 2.0.

But apparently the Green Party are the "vibes era?"

Make it make sense!

Big Issue @bigissue.com · 1d

Politics is in a vibes era. Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski are proof of that. But maybe Keir Starmer can take positivity from Ruben Amorim.

Love this beautiful photo! I've seen some crazy photos of the Laggan Dam today as they've had masses of rain recently and are having to let water through at a safe rate. Id share here, but they're not mine and are in FB

One of the Rowans in our back garden turning a beautiful colour. I adore this time of year. It fills my heart continuously when I open it to the beauty all around me in a sweet way.

I wish all of you comfort and joy today and every day.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi's "Self-portrait as a cat lover", mid 19th c, Japan, depicts the artist surrounded by cats.
Kuniyoshi was known for his love of felines, and his studio was reportedly filled with them; he placed them into many of his works, often as a form of satire to cleverly evade censorship

America & the world can never trust the US Presidency & our calcified, two-party Congress again.

In @liberalcurrents.com, I argue we need to reform the executive (limit it), make the legislature supreme, & institute multiparty proportional representation.

The American Presidency Can Never Be Trusted Again

It’s time for multiparty democracy and a limited executive.

I spent last night holding on to my dog because he was drooling and trembling uncontrollably. I said, “There’s no need to be frightened. They’re only fireworks”. And he said, “Yeah, but what about the rise of authoritarianism?”.
