Knowing how to win elections is a key political skill. So’s being expert in policy technicalities. But so too is knowing how to fight in the ideological, cultural & rhetorical theatre. It’s obvious to us who haunt reactionary online spaces that Lab is failing at the latter (10/?)

Great little story on why youth work is so important - and on the importance of held space. If we want communities to thrive we need this kind of thing to be popping off everywhere, in all kinds of guises
I remember a play that @company_three made a few years ago. On the penultimate night, one of the cast members came up to the director and the stage manager. He asked, "What's our call tomorrow?" They said 4pm. He said "Can you call us for 12?" And they were like - why?

Tonight thousands will gather at Stonehenge in an ancient tradition... which isn't ancient at all. It's being going on for just 24 years. The modern story of Stonehenge involves sacramental LSD, police brutality and a young Keir Starmer. It is fascinating. A solstice thread/1
