Just bumped into Suella Braverman who said to me “traitors like you are why we are in this mess.”

She didn’t like it when I asked her to put that into an email.

Stewart Lee should really be trending for this, which made me laugh out loud.

His work spans multiple locations, and is geographically haphazard in sequence. It can be viewed as either an individual insight of city happenstance or as part of a larger whole. It is not his intention to document per se, rather documenting is part of his photographic method.
