On this, I’m 100% with Jess Phillips, Paula Sheffield & the MPs from every political party who are speaking up against the inflammatory language our Prime Minister uses, particularly in regards to fears by female MPs over death threats after the murder of their colleague Jo Cox. This goes beyond political divides and to the core of how the PM and some of his closest advisors operate. His strategy of whipping up hate is not OK; his words are being quoted in threats to life and safety of MPs who democratically oppose him.
Word-weaver and artist. I'm Co-founder of Nott Normal; a Nottinghamshire based independent accessible, adaptive and gently provocative arts collaboration. Resident story-weaver for set of virtual Cottage in the Woods courses by Yelala from late autumn 2020, early Spring 2021. My writing and art have recently been part of Poems on Prescription, the National Museum of Justice's (UK) acclaimed Letters of Restraint, and The National Holocaust Memorial Centre's (UK) What is Testimony? Art and written work has appeared in various independent publications including LeftLion, Miknaf Haaretz, and Proliterat. I'm a warrior of various disabilities and chronic illnesses with an MA in Human Security (Peace and Human Development). I've worked in creative conflict resolution, sustainability & interfaith work. I stood for parliament (& local gov) in 2015, getting 9.9%, in the top 20 national results for the party. I've since left politics unless you count negotiating between three cats and a laptop. I love animals, my favourite humans, wild landscapes, accessible cities and the sea.

“Humbug!”
he blusters
at those grieving,
speaking of murder;
the killing of Jo Cox
and every death threat after
by those using his words to gag;
to silence women who oppose him;
to make them fear for their own lives;
voices of extremism
made Johnson their mascot,
they clone expressions
he gives them still
to inflame,
he speaks
humbug.
