In exactly two month’s time: 12th October 2023 my debut poetry book is published by @burningeyebooks. In the spirit of that, here’s my book cover! The very talented Craig Kirk designed it for me all the way back in December 2022 and I’ve been patiently waiting to share this!

This is performative bullshit on a day when the US president is threatening a genocide against a nation of 93 million people & the UK is allowing him to use our air bases. Will @Keir_Starmer continue to do so & be complicit in whatever comes next?

Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism. We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.

I think this Kanye West item is the perfect example of being able to have nuanced perspectives and sit with information. I can condemn his past actions (duh), call out a brand double standard and criticise central government. All truths are valid too

CNN drops a brutal reality check: American credibility is completely dead. Fareed Zakaria exposes how Trump treats a catastrophic global war like a cheap reality TV show, constantly contradicting himself while the Middle East burns. The world is laughing at Washington.

So let me get this straight: There is a 2hr delay between the BAFTA event & the BBC airing it. In that time they managed to edit out a woman saying “Free Palestine” but didn’t edit out the man with Tourette’s shouting the N word at 2 black people? Is that where we are?

Akinola Davies Jr’s “Free Palestine” remark cut from BBC coverage of the Baftas 2026 faroutmagazine.co.uk/akinola-davies…

I keep trying to write about what happened at the BAFTAs, and I can't find the words. The situation is almost impossible, but it happened 3 times that night, and one of the three times was directed at myself on the way to dinner after the show.

Zia Yusuf and Reform evoke the struggles of working class white boys, not in an attempt to help them, but in a crass bid to divide and rule working class people.
Farrukh@implausibleblog

"So will it be the same act but with a different label?" Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷‍♂️

I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I’ve agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it’s still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.

When a Slogan Is Easier Than the Truth “Stop the boats” fits neatly on a sign. Explaining Thatcher-era deindustrialisation, regional abandonment, London-centric investment, tax flight and austerity does not. Immigrants didn’t dismantle the Midlands’ economy, but blaming them is far quicker than grappling with history.
