As Yom Kippur came to a close this evening, I was privileged to join my friend, Ruth Messinger, at a break fast in her home. It was an honor to celebrate this moment of renewal with many of our Jewish neighbors. May it be a year of justice, joy and peace.

Finally caught & colour-ringed the female mate of our 11 yr old Marsh Tit. She's only 16 months old and arrived in the wood in April at last minute to breed, having dispersed from elsewhere - itself a major feat. Her life expectancy now is maybe another 1-2 yrs, if she's careful/lucky.

Quite emotional to report that we've just found our amazing survivor Marsh Tit, still here in his ancient woodland kingdom. He's now 11 yrs 4 months old, survived the 2026 heatwaves/drought and smelt the wildfires of nearby Holme Fen. I ringed him in my 30s and I'm now in my 50s.

At Monks Wood, the soil temperatures this week are insane: Grass surface 45C 10 cm deep 27C 30 cm deep 22C 1 metre deep 19C Air temperature has reached 34.5C. Max concrete surface temperature is off the scale, over 50C. The sensors can't detect that high, it was not expected when they were designed.

My poly-intertextual, multi-ekphrastic collaboration with the dark genius Alan Parker is now available from Shearsman Books. The poetry begins with the hypothesis that class society is fundamentally paedophilic, and it's all downhill from there. www.shearsman.com/.../Steve-El....

I wonder if the 3000 people dragged away by police for peacefully holding signs saying they support Palestine Action feel like Keir Starmer is the innocent victim of an ungovernable country?

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

One more note. The media's near-silence on this astonishing legal shift is almost as disturbing as the issue itself. This vast change is covered in most outlets way down the bulletins, with almost no explanation or context. This is how democracy dies: not with a bang but a whimper. Thank you.

Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Belfast riots, Palestine Action protests. What is terrorism now – and why the hypocrisy? | George Monbiot

The right is obsessed with ‘two-tier policing’. This is indeed a two-tier government – but the real victims are progressives, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Today is the tenth anniversary of Jo Cox's murder by a white supremacist on her way to a surgery in Birstall in her constituency whose ethnic diversity she praised in her maiden speech to the Commons. Her murderer shouted "Britain first" as he shot and stabbed her to death.

This will, in all likelihood, be the last full-length collection that we publish. It's a fine book: as good as any we've put out in the last twenty years.
