Hello friends. I mostly share here things intended to bring solace & a little joy.

I’ll also talk about my work (contemporary story-songs & geek-folk, interfaith, history, folklore & nonsense).

I encourage you to seek out beauty, dwell in wonder, practice kindness & be thankful (& use alt-text!)

Thank you, Bob! The first challenges have been met and were dealt with more easily than expected!

Heading into a day of many things. Deep breath. Hydrate. Comfortable shoes. Gloves. Book & knitting for the waiting bits. Lists for everything else.

“Go thou well into the day
May there be wonders along your way” as the song goes.

Wasn’t the Moon beautiful last night?

And a Conservative Party donor called Graham King has been making millions out of those asylum hotels.
It looks the Tories were operating another VIP lane.

Tory donor becomes a billionaire from providing substandard refugee housing

There have been reports of overcrowding, bed bug infestations and a lack of privacy in Clearsprings accommodation.

Up there with ‘we can’t plant apple trees on the verge, teenagers might throw apples at passing cars’ which I heard round the council-table😔

I certainly believe the aims are solid, the policies are sound, and the membership & representatives are sufficiently aligned with both.

I think an essential element to gaining the necessary power will be willing he’s to work with others with whom there is some adjacency & shared principles.

He’s got some decent principles and has made some big mistakes. Right now he’s really not reading the room.

If the media covered Palantir/BlackRock's public sector takeover and the rollout of deregulated investment zones with the same intensity as Nigel Farage and immigration, we'd see actual outrage at the seismic corporate power grab secretly remaking Britain. The UK is being privatised.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?
