So I follow and read lots of stuff by @pickardje.bsky.social and @stephenkb.bsky.social and I occasionally buy the actual paper, usually at a weekend. Its fair to say, I'm not the target audience for lots of the content.

Screen shot of Mat Riches' poem called Riches.

Riches


It looked like the sort of wedge

that would choke a shire horse to death: 

two grand in bundles of fifties,

their waists pinched by red rubber bands.



You asked me to count the lot,

then drove away to meet a man 

who knew a man, and came back late

in a lime-green Ford Cortina.


I thought we were made of money 
when you let me sit in your lap 

and we reverse-parked it, my feet 

pressing on your feet in the dark.

Taken from my pamphlet called Collecting The Data. I'd love you to buy a copy from me or via Red Squirrel Press. If you get it from me it will be signed (if you want it to be).

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

DfE pupil data is out today and shows that the number of private school pupils has dropped 5.6% since VAT was introduced. Not 25% like the independent schools council predicted. Or the 50% we saw in some right-wing papers. 5.6%.

🚨 Farage called for "pure cold rage". Tonight, far right thugs attacked police officers and rioted on our streets. Words have consequences. #Reform thrives on division & hatred. It is a dark day in our society when the leader of a party is emboldened to stoke such hatred.

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.
