This is truly brilliant Grace. I wish it wasn't, I wish it didn't exist, I wish it didn't have to exist. I have no idea either right now, just keep on making my silly art and consuming other peoples' and I have resigned my labour party membership because, conscience.

Yes. I used to work for Labour, I used to think politics was what I'd end up doing - because everyone told me that's what I'd end up doing, and so it felt fateful. But I hated working for Lammy. He didn't know what he wanted from politics, even then. No vision, just aimless pissing in the wind to see what sticks. And you can't work for people like that if you have any moral code, because it disintegrates before your eyes, and you see how the world works. And so I think the only thing I can do is write these silly words and hit send. (Think this bit was partly inspired by your style btw). X

Yes you are so right 💔😢. They knew what would likely happen & now in the final chapter they start talking about a “sustainable” ceasefire, whatever that is, and asking the occupier politely to “think carefully” as if that will make any difference when the occupier is violating all of the legal demands made by the highest court on earth. Every day is the worst day. Thank you for your writing Grace x
