How powerful photography can be in showing the human impact of politics.

Our house has apparently had enough of those Donny Downer negative lateral flow tests, and are going to be positive, positive, positive instead!

Tony Blair in The Times:

“All social media has taught us is that there are a lot crazier people out there than we realised. Years ago, they were at the end of the bar; now they have a platform. But we should just walk round them as we did before.”

Another day’s lecturing done.

The reality of Partygate

Martin Fletcher in the New Statesman:

Partygate is not about left versus right, or Remainers versus Brexiteers. It is about decency versus indecency, honesty versus dishonesty, right versus wrong. Mirza, educated at an Oldham comprehensive, gets that even if Rees-Mogg, educated at Britain’s most prestigious public school, does not.

Exactly. If Johnson continues clinging on, he and his moral vacuum of a circle will continue undermining whatever good reputation the Conservative party has left.
