👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly."

"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."

"I blame you for that."

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

If you're a Labour, Green or Lib Dem voter in Caerffili it's morally incumbent on you to vote Plaid. That's the long and the short of it. We're out of excuses or arguments now, either we stand up to fascism or we give in.

all the time I was prepping the machine and measuring to exactness I was thinking to myself this is such a palaver by comparison to 'by hand' - will get used to it 🙂

Cock-a-hoop to be writing for @thenerve.news and we kick off with a piece about why Celebrity Traitors is era defining television.

The new, star-studded Traitors is era-defining telly - because it knows that celebrity is the ultimate grift

Will anyone ever trust Jonathan Ross again? Will Tom Daley come out in the edit as the ultimate villain? The genius of the celebrity version of The Traitors, argues author and critic Julia Raeside, is...

very glad I've stuck with The Hack - it's a complicated and enraging story well told

THE WILD IRIS
by Louise Glück

At the end of my suffering
there was a door.

Hear me out: that which you call death
I remember.

Overhead, noises, branches of the pine shifting.
Then nothing. The weak sun
flickered over the dry surface.

It is terrible to survive
as consciousness
buried in the dark earth.

Then it was over: that which you fear, being
a soul and unable
to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth
bending a little. And what I took to be
birds darting in low shrubs.

You who do not remember
passage from the other world
I tell you I could speak again: whatever
returns from oblivion returns
to find a voice:

from the center of my life came
a great fountain, deep blue
