Spoiler alert if you haven’t seen it yet. This year’s Fenwicks Christmas window is one of my favourites. Designed by the great Chris Riddell.

Good statement by Durham Miners Gala on Reform UK.
Reform capitalises on disillusionment with mainstream politics, but the only solutions they offer are worse cuts and cruelty in the service of the wealthy. And their outright denial of the climate crisis endangers all our futures.
