This is your regular reminder that 87% of comics creators in the UK are not working full time in comics. (I’m not, even now!) No one should feel bad about having a day job, especially in these crushing times. You are no less of a comics creator.

Yachts are allowed to dock off the #ChagosIslands, but Chagossians are not permitted to visit or be part of the crew. On Monday @crawleywordfest showcased the story of the displaced islanders with authors @Flo19Gowithe @MyriadEditions and Natasha Soobramanien @FitzcarraldoEds

Schools in the UK, USA and Canada are already using this powerful memoir with their students. Now there’s a free guide, link below: ‘I’ve been living in two places all my life; the England I was born in, and the lost world of my Iraqi-Jewish family’s roots.’ @TSMCartoons
It’s #WorldBookDay2023 and I’m happy to announce that there is now an educator’s guide to #TheWolfofBaghdad Useful for teachers & reading groups who would like to use the #Wolf as a learning resource. Free download here: bit.ly/3cmgvkw #Baghdad #Jewish #graphicnovel

There are 177 billionaires in the UK with a total wealth of £653bn.
Taxing their wealth over £10m at just 3% would raise almost £60bn+
Tax the billionaires.
