Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Annie Leibovitz was born #OTD in 1949. + Rolling Stone’s chief photographer for 10 yrs w/142 covers + Living Legend designation, Library of Congress, for her original contributions to America's cultural heritage + 1st woman to have an exhibition at Washington's Nat'l Portrait Gallery #photography

A color photograph of the iconic American portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz (born October 2, 1949), celebrated for her era-defining celebrity portraits and her designation as a Library of Congress Living Legend. Facing forward, she maintains a serene, knowing expression with a slight, subtle smile, looking directly at the camera through rectangular, black-rimmed eyeglasses. Her long, silver-gray hair is loosely styled, swept slightly to one side. She is dressed in her signature utilitarian style, wearing a dark gray, long-sleeved button-down collared shirt with the sleeves relaxed and rolled up past her forearms. Her right hand rests confidently on her hip, while her left hand grips the top of a professional, medium-format Hasselblad film camera mounted securely on a tripod directly in front of her chest. The composition places her centrally within a weathered setting featuring textured, dark green wooden doors and a rough concrete wall to the right. In the upper left background, a large, circular studio light ring glows with a warm, ambient golden luminosity, functioning as a halo-like visual anchor that contrasts with the dark, moody environment. The overall atmosphere is intimate and authoritative, symbolizing a legendary artist standing alongside the essential tools of her historic craft.

We've won big this year - and our wins have forced the Labour government to change course. But we need far more and urgently. From climate action to an emergency brake on rents - we'll keep the pressure on to bring about the change this country needs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As the Green Party conference begins, @zackpolanski.bsky.social is calling for rent controls. Meanwhile over in Labour Angela Rayner, the secretary of state for housing (who back in June took £20,000 from an anti-rent control lobby group) has ruled them out.

Deloitte paid its UK-based partners £1.125m. Firm has 784 equity partners. Due to self-employed status of partners, employer national insurance (ENI) is not paid on profits shared. 150,000 ENI avoided on every £1m of profits shared. Billions lost across the country. Must end this privilege.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

The Orange Order is often rightly rereferred to as the Brit version of the Ku Klux Klan. One hates Catholics the other black/brown skinned people. I wonder how many people in the UK know that there is an Orange Order Lodge in the hesrt of the British Houses of Parliament? Absolutely shocking!
