I wish I didn’t have to write this

I am an artist, not a politician, and would rather speak through creative action than explanatory text

But I find that for several reasons, I must respond to accusations and smears made against me these last couple of weeks

50 years ago, a US-backed military coup overthrew the Allende government in Chile.

Chileans never gave up — after 17 years of repression, democracy was restored.

As Pablo Neruda said, “You can cut all the flowers but you can’t stop Spring from coming.”

Today’s column has taken on a life of its own. Thank you for all the messages! This is not a radical statement: everyone should have the right to entertainment, leisure and company - not just the middle class and wealthy. https://t.co/ibiHcrTuuu

“What would you do if you were sitting at your home and a foreign military knocked down the door, broke in, threw your furniture across the street, beat up your mother, imprisoned your father and told you that your house is now theirs?”

BREAKING: UN Climate Change report warns of dire consequences if carbon emissions not reduced.

“Worst yet to come” for today's children & grandchildren.

"Life on Earth can recover from drastic climate shift by evolving into new species & creating new ecosystems. Humans cannot."

This is from 1948👇
The NHS is not a charity. Let’s stop normalising ‘NHS charities’. They do not create sustainability in our public health service. Their existence is promoted by the government, who are underfunding the NHS centrally.

Pick #brexit Pick being conned by inbred toffs telling you immigrants now trying to save you were fucking up your life. Pick exploitative slave labour wages in ‘jobs’ you will replace them in. Pick all the shite you didn’t read on the side of a bus. Or don’t. It’s picked for you.

it’s a really strange feature of #coronavirus that it thrives in countries with leaders who are twats

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

A PM statement away from the Commons, recorded for TV, with no questions from media, is a totally unacceptable way of making a major announcement.

The government won’t help you & your boss won’t help you, so please join a union: https://t.co/Zm21SUTn38

Join a union and refuse to go to work under Section 44 of the Employment Rights Act. You have the legally protected right to walk away from unsafe work.

The message of tonight is join a Union!
