Went to (gatecrashed) Nigel Farage's 60th birthday party last night for @Londoners_Diary. His half melted ice sculpture will stay with me for many, many years. A lot happened:
Why is every theatre trip so full of the unmistakable sound of iPhones hitting the floor??? 😤😤😤
Privatising water was a colossal scam - and we are the victims. Our waterways are filthy. Our bills are up 40%. Shareholders - 70% overseas - enriched by £72 bn. From 0 debt to £60 bn. Investment down 15%. End it now. Save us money. Clean up our water. Neither party will. Why?
Once more for the people in the back!📣 Our demands are simple: #4DayWeek
Mediterranean Sea fits inside Australia - should be a much better image than last one.

The biggest threat to a resurgent left since 2010 isn’t the right, or a centre which if anything is more insistent in eliminating us from the conversation. It’s ourselves & a tendency to minoritarianism & status from people we know. Our political rivals simply think bigger.
A wonderful event - we're grateful to @KellyOCLondon & the @IrelandEmbGB team for hosting us, not once, but twice. Fine readings from @damienmolony & Fran Lock, plus music from Laura Aherne, Tiffany Qiu, Cormac Ó Briain. Lovely to see our good friend @GoldRosie again🍀🇮🇪🇪🇺

Today is Molly Bloom's birthday. In Ulysses, it says Molly was born on 8 September 1870 in Gibraltar. Molly's soliloquy at the end of Ulysses continues to be a source of inspiration and the subject of analysis and discussion - including next year's YES Festival in Derry-Donegal.
1/ Art & the environment: inspired by the Oxen of the Sun episode of #JamesJoyce's #Ulysses, citizen activism & performance take on the impact of decaying ships off #Eleusis coast, with Mysteries 60 #metamorphoSEA, being staged overlooking the ship graveyard from 26-30 Sept.
Cantilevering over heritage buildings is just so wrong. We said it's wrong for the former Great Eastern Hotel (Grade II*) and Liverpool Street Station (Grade II), and it is wrong for the Turkish Baths also close by in the #CityOfLondon Enough is enough.
Lots of people commenting on the @IslingtonBC interactive map for the Barnsbury & Laycock #LiveableNeighbourhood are worried about traffic and pollution. People are asking for measures to make our streets safer, healthier, greener, fairer. 💚
#OtD 6 Jul 1907 Frida Kahlo, painter, communist, and one of Mexico's greatest artists, was born. Her work included themes of feminism, colonialism and Indigenous resistance: "I’m more and more convinced it’s only through communism that we can become human"

In 2022, no woman should suffer the indignity of an obstetric fistula, however it is estimated that a staggering 500,000 women in Sub Saharan Africa and Asia are living with untreated fistula and each year a further 50,000 – 100,000 women develop a fistula.
