BREAKING: WE WON. The High Court ruled the Palestine Action ban is unlawful as it is disproportionate to free speech and the Home Secretary breached her own policy. The court ordered the ban be quashed. Details of lifting the ban will be decided and completed at a later date.

New post on Substack about Jamaican sign painter Bug Art Sav, who I met back in 2018. The recent hurricane has badly affected the streets and businesses around Savanna-la-Mar where Bug works. He’s asked me to share his story. #Jamaica #westmorland https://t.co/FPDVLj0nfY

Black River, Jamaica before the hurricane. I visited back in 2019. Seeing online that many historic buildings have been impacted alongside the devastating effects on the community. #Melissa The impact of climate change is so disproportionate. https://t.co/jJd6wpEZ4U

3:30 am. Couldn't sleep. Full-on obsessed. #Hurricane #MELISSA is bombing out in the Caribbean Sea, a beast closing in on #Jamaica. Feeling concerned for the island & its people. Also feeling great personal pressure to properly record & measure what may be a generational event—to
