I've really enjoyed banging these daft cards out over the years but it's time to call it a day. I'm a bit sad to bring it to an end but 40 years seems like enough. More to the point, the world is so horrific these days that it's now beyond my skill & imagination to lampoon!
Nothing new.
Downing St, London 15/1/00. Protective gates rammed by a 28 year old male driver. An American woman from New Jersey was thrown into the air and suffered a broken leg as she pushed one of her children out of the way.

If you can stick a few quid in this hat it will help push back on a bit of the current evil.

I'm very grateful to @ZakWaters for making me sound quite sane and coherent in his new podcast about my work over the years.

Thanks Gentle Author for running my Crisis At Christmas photographs from 40 odd years ago. Crisis back then was a wonderful chaotic almost-falling-apart brilliant and inspirational escape capsule for hundreds of desperate people.

It's time for my annual state of the nation artwork to be released into the waiting arms of the universe.
I send my warmest greetings and very best wishes to you all!

It's taken 47 years for most of these photos from an East End pensioners' club Christmas party to see the light of day but a pleasure delayed is a pleasure doubled.

There's no way that this government will do it so I've donated to @trusselltrust to support their work to #StopUKHunger, as no one should have to go hungry. Do the same?trusselltrust.org/make-a-don…
Today is the anniversary of the Met Police blocking, trapping and beating the anti-racist march on 16 October 1993 calling for the BNP ‘bookshop’ in Welling to be closed.

My jaw hit the floor when I discovered Boris Johnson left an emergency NATO meeting after the Kremlin’s chemical warfare attack on Britain & flew to an off-the-books meeting with an ex-KGB spy.
Yours should too.
This is how it happened.

Remember the outrage caused by the strip search of Child Q in Hackney?
Today I can reveal that five children are being strip searched every week by the Met, without being arrested for anything first.
More than half of the children were black. @LBC lbc.co.uk/news/met-strip-sea…

Criminal justice system in a state of collapse.
Ditto health service.
Largest police service is under remedial measures.
Record inflation.
Highest taxation in 70 years.
Foodbanks running low.
No freedom of movement.
But Johnson "got all the big calls right".

marshalling the spirit of pro- Mosley Mail in 1930s; hard to know which sinks lower - this rag or Truss
- @NadineDorries’ Data Bill is a ‘Data Oligarchs Charter’. It’ll make UK a global data laundering hub and enshrines discrimination & prejudice into law. It must be stopped. #DataProtection. See @openrightsgroup’s response: openrightsgroup.org/press-re…

Over 100 Bow residents walked along Tredegar Road and down Antill Road to protest against the new council's proposal to reverse the Liveable Streets schemes
@LonGreenParty @TH_Labour @CllrNathalieB @TheGreenParty @THLivingStreets @TowerHamletsNow
Feisty protest by Bow Safer Streets calling on mayor, Lutfur Rahman, and the council not to remove the traffic restrictions that reduce pollution and rat running in the area.
