From the nation who brought us Trump, twice.
I’m delighted that Lady in Blue by Tschabalala Self has been unveiled as the latest sculpture to adorn the Fourth Plinth.
Known for exploring identity and representation in her work, Tschabalala Self has created a sculpture that brings a contemporary figure into the centre of Trafalgar Square.

We don’t have to build data centres at this scale and pace. We can develop them in a way that works for communities, not against them.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

It's great to see action starting against dangerous pavement parking. Now we need: A clear definition of what "unreasonable obstruction" means; Effective ways to enforce against obstructive and dangerous parking; Enforcement against pavements being broken by heavy vehicles.

The idea of “imported” violence against women and girls is a deeply comforting fiction - one that allows people to avoid looking at where it actually happens: within our homes and behind closed doors.
The Violence Isn’t Imported. It’s Domestic.
Kemi Badenoch’s attempt to blame violence against women on migrants doesn’t just collapse under scrutiny - it actively distracts us from where the harm really happens, and who is actually responsible.
