@LondonReaderMag is open until 11/15 for "Plant Life." "Stories, poems, essays, and art about the secret lives of plants and the people who live with them." This is a contemporary magazine, but many suggested prompts for the call are speculative. londonreader.uk/2022/10/open…

Is there something strange about that person with all the plants? A time lapse of a house plant shows instead a house pet. Electrical signals in a tree play a beautiful symphony. OPEN CALL #submissions about plant people, plants, nature londonreader.uk/2022/10/open… #WritingCommunity

Maurice Mcleod has an outstanding record would be an brilliant parliamentarian representing the people of #Peckham and #Camberwell Instead he faces shameful behavior here from party officials. @LondonReaderMag awaits a response from @UKLabour

Last night, I was blocked from standing to be the next Labour MP for Camberwell & Peckham. I'm gutted. The Party is saying it has no place for an anti-racist socialist like me in Parliament. Thank you so much to all those who supported & worked on my campaign. My statement:
