vote green.

David Lammy, the deputy prime minister and justice secretary, suggested Jenrick was judging people based on the colour of their skin, while Mel Stride, the shadow chancellor, broke ranks by saying the remarks were "not words that I would have used". Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, said it was racism.

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. 💪

Wish you were closer so I could give you a big hug, some much needed validation, and a big old noogy on the head.

Happiness, humour, truth and, most crucially, courage are the qualities needed to repel the racist tide.
Because its architects offer whining, victimhood, lies and, most crucially, cowardice.

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference.

“One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception.

“The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

There's a marriage blessing in a Sumerian myth between Enlil and Sud. Goes something like, "May it be that the pleasure of excitement will never be lost! ... When you enter the house to live there, may abundance precede you, and may joy follow you..."

I mean, that's quite pretty.

IMO an altar is one of the places where a witch and the beings that witch works with meet. cleaning it routinely and changing flowers, offerings etc shows welcoming respect #witchsky

Someone somewhere has access to the unredacted unexpurgated Epstein Files, and they could basically save the world if they leaked them right now.
Because as it is, we’re destroying western democracy to avoid confronting the distinct possibility that the President of the US is a child rapist.

Saw a young child wowing and pointing at the huge M&S lorry reversing into the delivery point. Found their awe entirely infectious.

I had a real breakthrough with this fiddle tune yesterday, called Y Lili. It has this C music that seems pretty complex but then I broke it down and it was actually quite simple!

This is the tune :

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
