In the same context, this ⤵️ extract is taken from “How the right took back control of Labour: The Starmer Project review”
by Terina Hine in #Counterfire @counterfireorg
“#Starmer’s close relationship with the #US state will be a revelation to many. During his tenure [as Director of Public Prosecutions] the #CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] acted ‘as a proxy’ (p.29) for the US State Department overseas, with Starmer himself becoming an envoy for the US Department of Justice.
He forged close links with US Attorney General, Eric Holder, at one point going way beyond his remit by promising to secure Gary #McKinnon’s extradition – a young man who, while looking for evidence of UFOs, hacked into US military databases.
Eagleton describes Starmer’s ‘fury’ (p.31) with [former UK Prime Minister] Theresa May when, as Home Secretary, she stopped the extradition. In one heart-rending passage Eagleton quotes McKinnon’s mother after she met Starmer to plead her son’s case.
In it she tells of Starmer’s response to her pleas: ‘I’m feeling very uncomfortable,’ said Mr Starmer. ‘Speaking to you is making me feel very uncomfortable’ (p.30). His lack of interest and concern in her son could not have been more transparent.”

A lush bush of what I think is a spreading #phlox displaying nicely in #Mckinnon, #Australia this cool and crisp morning (circa 10 degrees Celsius).
Not sure I’ve seen these before in all honesty.
Just lovely!
#PhloxDiffusa (per ush, happy to being corrected!!)

#PrunusPersica is flowering everywhere here in #Melbs and they’re so uplifting.
So elegant in their appearance and structure, these flowers make my heart melt.
Such a welcome to the colour pallet during #winter time, and these trees will fruit in good time to produce #peach.
🍑

It’s #olive season here in southern Australia!
This lone olive tree is well underway with fruit, in #McKinnon #Australia.
Love them or not, these beauties are so versatile as a health tonic, be that simply to eat, cook with or apply to your body.
Magic stuff this!

The #peach (Prunus persica) is a deciduous tree first domesticated and cultivated in Eastern China.
It bears edible juicy fruits.
Australian peaches normally grow between October and April.
The flowers growing on these, ahead of fruiting, are divine. So rich in colour and detail.
Was impossible not to double back and marvel for a good 10 minutes, in this morning’s sunshine.
📍- #Mckinnon #Australia.

See #melbourne local, Danielle Weber’s representation of her self-portrait, as a child 👇
It’s just wonderful isn’t it?
Danielle writes on insta that painting this piece of herself depicted as a young kid, was a meaningful process.
The theme of this mural is ‘belonging’ and she goes on to say, that whilst it was difficult fitting in as a child, art has been instrumental in her personal journey and growth. And has been an avenue to finding herself; her fit [sic].
#DanielleWeber; “I hope this mural inspires others to explore their own sense of belonging and to embrace unique perspectives”.
I love this piece. The child’s eyes; beaming with innocence and clarity. She is living in the moment; in spontaneous joy of this captured moment. Unadulterated child-like wonderment. Being present and alive!
Although her vulnerability (also evident) is present in this moment, in time, this youngster’s inherent knowledge, if not at a cellular level, knows that to dream the dream will bring nothing but joy.

Feeling mellow with this gorgeous yellow growth this morning.
Travelling through #mckinnon #australia, had to stop and snap.
These #bushdasies have been popping up everywhere throughout #melbourne suburbs of late. Such a welcomed colour burst to #winter right now.

#NandinaDomestica, commonly known as #nandina, heavenly bamboo or sacred bamboo, is a species of flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae, native to eastern Asia from the Himalayas to Japan.
This one in #Mckinnon #Australia I snapped on the weekend and it’s a happy and healthy looking beauty.
It displays bright-red fruit in the cool months. Although the berries are toxic to birds, especially towards the end of the winter when other food sources become scarce. The reason the fruit is untouched and in tact.
🙌♥️🙂

It is a #ViburnumTinus, the laurustinus, laurustine or laurestine… sounds akin to a mouthwash huh (Oz audience will understand!)??
They’re in early bloom and there were half a dozen healthy looking specimens growing in this front yard in #Mckinnon #Austrlia, so I expect these to be in full bloom in the next week or so.
Delicate, small and pretty looking flowers. Just gorgeous.

These are lovely.
I’m astounded at the various species of native #bottlebrush that adorns our beautiful country.
These ones are no exception. I love the long stems, covered in pink hair-like spikes. They are so pretty.
The #bees were having a ball! 🐝

#Mckinnon #Australia is home to this large-scale mural oozing with #feminine elegance, by the none other than artist known locally as #Juzpop!
It is incomplete. More detail yet to come.
It has been 2 weeks since visiting this work in progress.
Justine (Juzpop) advises there have been technical issues with the site preventing its completion. But hope things resolve quickly for her.
#love the vibrance!! And those #butterflies - OMG!

Was directed to this work-in-progress by a fellow #VisualHedonist around the corner, as we were both taking pictures of a recent mural in #Mckinnon #Australia, lunchtime today.
And OMG, glad I went to have a sticky-beak!!
Such #feminine elegance forming here. Accompanied by leaves, perhaps some roses and plenty of #fem #love!!
I’d suggest this gorgeous piece is about halfway complete and the detail (face, neck, arms, fingers, surrounding scene etc) will take the longest to complete; will be painstaking. Just guessing.
I can see this coming along beautifully, with shading and more depth to come. This will look absolutely breathtaking once complete.
Justine, the creator of this emerging masterpiece took a little time out to chat to passers by and me. This accomplished artist is a marvel to speak to and you can see why she’s an angel who paints from the heart. Just wow and… gosh!

Gary McKinnon: l'hacker che voleva scoprire i segreti della Nasa sugli UFO
Pochi mesi dopo gli attacchi al World Trade Center, uno strano messaggio apparve su un #computer dell'esercito americano: "Il tuo #sistema di #sicurezza è una merda" e poi aggiunse: “Io sono Solo. Ma continuerò a sconvolgere ai massimi livelli”.
Infatti, Gary #McKinnon, da solo scansionò migliaia di macchine del #governo degli Stati Uniti e scoprì evidenti falle di sicurezza in molte di esse.
Solo, tra febbraio 2001 e marzo 2002, fece irruzione in quasi un centinaio di #PC all'interno dell'#Esercito, della #Marina, dell'#Aeronautica, della #NASA e del Dipartimento della Difesa.

Bright an cheery #sunflowers growing proud in #mckinnon #Australia.
They’re often a reminder that whilst life may be perceived as relatively short, you can stand tall and radiate your brilliance to the world.
Shine bright. And simply ‘be’ the perfect you.

Gosh #kangaroopaw is so giving.
This ensemble is growing beautifully in #Mckinnon #Australia near a kids playground.
It’s healthy. And happy!
To the touch, kangaroo paw flowering sections are firm and it’s surface is adorned with a soft velvet-like coverage that tells me this species of plant is here to be admired… if not worshipped!
It definitely rates high on the ‘like’ scale for mine, amongst the #Australian natives.

#Mirabilis, is a species of flowering plant native to the southwestern United States from Arizona to Texas and northern Mexico.
These pics were taken on a warm, sunny mid morning in #McKinnon#Australia and I was perplexed why these flowers appeared ‘subdued’ in nature.
Compared to the many I saw this day, they were slightly closed whereas all other species of flowers were open and displaying prominently, pointing towards the sunshine.
Now I know the answer!
It is night-flowering!! That is, they tend to come out in the latter day and evening. And they bloom at night.
The flowers are mostly white, although there was an eclectic mix of colours here, strongly scented (yes, they smelt divine) and they’re long and narrow in form, approaching 17 centimeters in maximum length. Most of these were around 10 cm.
They’re beautiful.

This hearty #Hibiscus was snapped in #McKinnon #Australia.
My ID App tells me it’s a variety known as ‘#Roseofsharon’. As always, happy to stimulate debate or be corrected on this! I’m no expert botanist, just a mere visual-hedonist 😁
Anyways, the colours are striking, greenery vibrant and the style and stigma are just brilliant. Full of detail. And large!

#hibiscus are lovely. This one is no exception, snapped in a front garden boundary fence in #McKinnon #Australia.
It is a flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is native to Korea, and south-central and southeast China, but widely introduced elsewhere, including much of Asia.
I love the detailed stigma and the reds bleeding into the white petals. So detailed and just cute as a button!
PS - PLUS I just love the name ‘Hibiscus’ 😁

This curious fella came out and looked me up and down when photographing flowers near his home in #McKinnon #Australia late last week.
He/she picked up a piece of bread from the grass and methodically walked away, slowly after assessing I was no threat.
I saw another #magpie earlier in my travels and broke open a packet of crackers I had in the car for lunch but that one didn’t want a bar if it. Was probably hankering for meat!
