A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

Think Streeting is even slightly left wing? 40 things you should know about Wes… Streeting is pro-privatisation, pro-Israel and his donors include hedge fund managers, big banks, private health investors and arms firms.

Did you know Wes Streeting is limiting the number of NHS training places for doctors, despite the chronic shortage of GPs and hospital doctors in the NHS?
He's a danger to the UK in so many ways.

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.

He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.

Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

Palestine Action protesters not guilty of defence firm burglary The group are cleared of aggravated burglary over the alleged raid at an Elbit Systems warehouse.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision.

We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.

People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover.

Listening to Amol Rajan talking to Tom Holland on his Radical podcast - and quite surprised to hear this history of Christianity as a history of ideas - completely separate from economics and politics.

UK to bring into force law this week to tackle Grok AI deepfakes The technology secretary said it would be illegal for companies to supply the tools designed to make them.

This is obviously the right decision.

It should spark a wider conversation about social media platforms. We clearly can't - and shouldn't - just rely on the responsibility of the owners.

Please repost if you demand the restoration of the Freedom of Movement that was robbed from us by foreign interference and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

"Whenever people keep being given a platform to say they have no platform, or whenever people speak endlessly about being silenced, you not only have a performative contradiction; you are witnessing a mechanism of power".

Home truths: the only thing Labour is building is a bigger, more dysfunctional housing market | George Monbiot Private developers offer politicians a simple solution for bulldozing through this crisis – build more. But it won’t work, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Labour's simplemindedness will be its downfall - and ours. You can't build and bulldoze your way out of the housing crisis. Unless you also change the system, you'll still leave millions without decent homes. My column today explains why.
