This morning I released a Lego/Latin retelling of A New Hope. A few people expressed the very reasonable concern that the font I chose could be an obstacle to reading. So, I have put up a second version with an alternate font. Take your pick 🙂. legonium.com/bella-stellaria…

London's one million EU citizens make a huge contribution to our city - economically, culturally and socially. To all those who are working with City Hall, volunteering their time to support our EU friends and neighbours with free legal advice: thank you. #LondonIsOpen 🇪🇺

This is Ali Milani. He has 3 days to replace Boris Johnson as the MP for Uxbridge. Just 5,000 voters could oust the PM. Ali can win this. Amplify him, share this.

One last time. Corbyn is not actively anti-Semitic. He is - and certainly has been in the past - tolerant of statements (and people) most Jews would consider anti-Semitic because he thinks other things are more important. However: most Jews would call that anti-Semitism.

I am SO depressed about the virus of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, racism & misogyny that now clearly riddles both the Labour & Conservative party top to bottom. And spare me the pathetic excuses, justifications & whataboutery shite.
