Small observations in the garden. The garden keeps me sane.

Photo shows evidence of bee littering in the garden -fallen teasel flowers resting on a lower leaf

Photo shows close up of a lemon balm leaf with a small bluebeard flower fallen on top of it. The entire photo is green apart from this little blue flower.

Headline in the neoliberal Guardian: "Increased defence will boost UK economic growth, Streeting says". Subheading reads "New defence secretary emphasises military will be spending priority over other departments under Burnham.." 22 July 2026

Interesting development in the Epstein-related heap of ruling class shite..

Guardian headline clipping 23 July 2026: "Model scout for Jeffrey Epstein found dead at his home near Paris".

Subheading: "Daniel Siad faced allegations of rape and trafficking in France and appeared in more than 1,000 documents in Epstein files".

It's all looking familiar isn't it. I wonder how long they'll get away with regurgitating the same shit.

Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper photographs placed side-by-side to illustrate that they are married and have conflicts of interest -Cooper is in the Labour government and Balls is a TV commentator commenting on politics pertaining to his wife.

STARMER at the Labour conference drinking a glass of water with an exasperated expression on his face. His hand is covered in glitter after a protester had covered him in it whilst Starmer was making one of his first speeches as leader.

He'll never live this down

Starmer on the cover of the New Statesman magazine photographed in heroic mode, pulling his shirt apart to read underneath "Israel DOES have that right" to war crimes. [Altered]

Starmer Army

Photo of former UK pM Starmer in army uniform with NATO badge on arm facing the camera and he is surrounded by British soldiers with funny hats on, slightly off-focus.

UK's former prime minister Starmer with a disturbingly over-exuberant clown face expression whilst standing in an apparent supermarket aisle. Somewhere in UK.

I used to photograph artists and events but now I photograph small things that go otherwise unnoticed in the garden. I'm logging the wildlife in a no-chemicals, half wilded garden. It's not even my garden but it's a real joy to be learning so much and contributing to a naturalist database.

Scallywag ants have cut off an echinops flower head to eat or drink what they found inside. They are surrounding the hole and are feeding as a matted group

It's like a formula by centrists - basically to lie blatantly to gain support and then abandon all hope...

Screenshot of a Guardian newspaper headline from November 2020 which reads "Starmer- I will abolish House of Lords to 'restore trust in politics.". Subheading says "Exclusive, Labour leader plans new elected chamber after accusing successive tory leaders".

Whilst Israel's #UKLabourParty are rewriting Starmer's legacy, we will never let him forget "Israel DOES have that right" and his other main job as PM which was to destroy the Left in British representative politics. The door is open..

Meme shows two photos representing the transformation in Labour's fortunes from the start of their tenure (smiling Starmer and Reeves). Second photo shows Starmer in the dispatch box with Reeves (chancellor) pushing aside a tear behind him

@raystonian@stonia2· 26d

Shut up Starmer. You won't even be an MP for much longer, let alone a lawyer for Mischcon de Reya

Meme shows an illustration of a 1950s-dressed man waving something away. White text on red says "Starmer fuck off, nobody likes you".

You'll have to steal it first from a posh London restaurant (how apt)

Headline from BBC website 11 May 2017 which reads "EdStone is spotted in an outdoor seating area at a restaurant in London". Photo shows Ed Miliband making a speech in front of the stone surrounded by Labour Party bods. The stone is actually a large monolith which towers over him and has 6 plan point for "a better future".

Kamala Harris meme showing her face over an image of total destruction in Gaza whilst holding her hand on her heart. The caption reads: "I'm speaking". There are speech bubbles coming from the bombed buildings saying "stop your bombs"

@raystonian@stonia2· Jul 7

Trump meme shows him standing proudly as if to say 'look what i did!' as a nuclear bomb goes off behind him. Everything is dead around him like he killed everything and is proud of doing so.

Of all the attempts by #Starmer to form some kind of positive legacy, this has to be one of the more desperate and ridiculous.

Headline clipping from the Independent newspaper UK which says "Starmer stepped in to stop FIFA bringing forward Mexico kick-off time". This is part of Starmer's desperate attempts to have some kind of positive legacy. 6th July 2026

I'm interested in why/how browser AI gives official Israeli answers to questions about their horrors. First answer is usually "official accounts" - the first barrier to knowledge. e.g. "how many helicopters were used for Hannibal Directive on Oct7th?". First answer said "one", until you probe:

Browser AI response to the question: "How many Israeli Apache helicopters were used to Kill Israelis on October 7th?". After probing the answer is comprehensive, showing that dozens were used but initially the answer was "official" Israeli response which says only one helicopter was used.

Starmer photographed in a UK train station in an anorak, carrying a rucksack and a coffee. He does not look happy at being photographed. Unclear if it is real or AI.

@raystonian@stonia2· Jun 24

Harris was a poor candidate but she indeed was a failure also for being close to Israel and "Genocide Joe" Biden.

Black and white photo shows Victorian man shouting out of a window down below- "you boy, Is Burnham out yet?"

@raystonian@stonia2· Jun 24

I asked my browser's AI for the latest news about Thatcherite friend of Israel, Purnell, being made Andy Burnham's chief of staff yesterday and its reply said "When Purnell was a popular Manchester mayor ..." 🤷‍♂️

Clipping from a browser's AI response to a question about Purnell being made Andy Burnham's chief of staff. It said Purnell, not Burnham, was Mayor of Manchester. The clipping shows the adjustment after being quesitoned on its reults.

Two photos side by side showing Tory Blair and Keith Starmer cavorting with the military for popularity reasons, both looking somewhat awkward amongst the similarly-uniformed soldiers, decades apart.

@raystonian@stonia2· Jun 22

One of the more truly bizarre and misplaced constructions of Starmer was what I called "Starmer Army", his willingness to be photographed in army uniforms and attempt a kind of smouldering to camera in camouflage. It's a visual formula for political leaders but.. what were they thinking?

"Starmer Army" Collage of 6 photos of UK PM Starmer cosplaying as a soldier. In one he is standing on top of a tank with a large union flag in the background. In another he is wearing a NATO uniform and smouldering to the camera.

@raystonian@stonia2· Jun 22

UK PM Starmer photographed picking up papers that Trump dropped outside the 2025 G7 summit. He looks subservient and it looks planned this way.

@raystonian@stonia2· Jun 22

Last outing for this classic. Where next for #Starmer? Front line fighting for Ukraine? Spokesperson for the IDF? Ambassador to Israel? The Hague? Mishcon De Reya, lawyers for the super-rich? Human wrongs lawyer?
