Recently I spent some time with the Benedictine nuns of Tyburn, a mostly silent convent next to Marble Arch in central London. The nuns are always praying, 24 hours a day. They take it in shifts, and can’t leave except to vote or for medical appointments. Day and night, they pray for the souls of the city and beyond, sequestered away from and ignorant to the constant commercial motion around them and the hyperactive processes of development and real estate speculation just past their doorstep.
By the entrance to the convent, ‘there’s a corkboard with little handwritten notes stuck to it. These are the prayers of Londoners — Londoners they will likely never meet. People drop them off at the door and the nuns pin them up to remind themselves of what and who to pray for. Some notes ask for safe passage through surgery, others through depression; one thanks Tyburn for a husband’s successful jigsaw puzzle business.’

Some of my work from London over the past few years appears alongside this piece by @billiemuraben in the latest issue of @tankmagazine
Billie’s article addresses the way housing has become increasingly commodified through the idea of ‘lifestyle’ since the mid-70s, beginning with Thatcher’s selling off of the council housing stock to mid 2000’s property TV shows and today’s constant barrage of ‘housing as identity’, by way of lifestyle agents like The Modern House and the fetishisation of the Brutalist aesthetic, whilst totally evacuating it of its motivating political values.

I went to Felixstowe a few weeks ago to photograph this story for the new issue of @theeconomist on how Britain has become a leading exporter of stolen goods. On the day we visited the port, Adam Gibson, the port’s lone police officer, opened up a shipping container to reveal a Porsche Carrera 911 that had been rented in Germany two weeks before: somehow it had found its way to a container in Britain, bound for Africa.
“For centuries criminals have nicked valuable products and smuggled them across borders, beyond the reach of the law. Britain today shows how this model has evolved in new and alarming ways. Encrypted communications have enabled criminal gangs to operate and co-operate more freely than ever before, and establish global supply chains. As countries in Africa and Asia have become richer, demand for the products common on the streets of the rich world is growing. This combination has spawned a flourishing criminal enterprise. Call it Grand Theft Global Inc.“

If you’re aged between 18 to 29, Rotherham is one of the hardest places in the country to find work. In September, the Institute for Public Policy Research published a report that found the town has the fewest suitable entry-level jobs for young people. What’s available is sparse: delivery work, warehouses, care assistant jobs, zero-hours contracts. They form part of a generation of young people described as the most miserable on record in Britain, suffering from rising rates of anxiety, suicidal thoughts and depression, borne out by a recent review by the psychoanalyst Peter Fonagy. Now, almost a million young people in Britain are classified as ‘neets’ - not in education, employment or training. Andy Burnham recently termed it ‘an economic catastrophe and a moral failure’. But as the sociologist William Davies recently wrote: “there have been surprisingly few attempts at overarching analyses of what has gone wrong with young people”.
Will Lloyd spoke to Rotherham residents aged between 20 to 23 for this piece in the weekend’s @ft_weekend , all in differing circumstances, looking for work, apprenticing, some returning to education in the hope of increasing their chances of finding work, to try and explain the experience of someone growing up Rotherham and trying to look to the future. What became really clear through hours of interviews was just how much the experience of the pandemic left a deep imprint on their lives, as Fatima Mohammed described to us: “If that hadn’t happened we would all be different people”. Equally, the struggle with social media and phones was mentioned in every interview, the desire to get offline and connect in reality thwarted by the job application process itself: ‘whenever there had been a period in their lives when they needed to find work, they were given one message. “Go online, go online, go online”, explained Jake Boyes, 20. “He once tried handing out a physical CV to retailers around Rotherham. “They told me to go online”.

“Do you want to see my shed?”
A woman asked, as I was photographing a charcoaled tree that backed onto her garden. I stepped through her fence and stood inside the blackened room, trying not to crunch her charred possessions scattered all over the floor. The grass fire, coming in the middle of a brutally dry July, had burned through eight acres of Beam Parklands in Dagenham, flames coming right up to the back gardens of houses that faced onto the park. She had watched in distress from her bedroom window while on the phone to the fire service, as her shed caught alight. Family photo albums, clothes, a fridge, tinned food saved for the future, all burned together into a congealed mess. Stepping back through the fence and into the park again, a thick carpet of consumer detritus had been revealed, Nitrous Oxide Smartwhip canisters, bicycle skeletons and assorted metal objects burned to their base.

Dover Priory station on Saturday morning. I hopped on the train from London, but by the time I arrived at midday it was all over. A few hours earlier I woke up to reports of hundreds of men in paramilitary-style uniforms, now identified with a new group called Patriot Platform, silently blocking roundabouts at the port. Motorists were mystified. As I stepped onto the platform, they were all getting on in the direction of Ramsgate.
Outside the station, there was the incongruous sight of tall, heavy-set men in balaclavas crowding into a people carrier from a local taxi service.

The room pictured above is probably one of the most vital for the UK to function day-to-day.
That circuit board-esque display is actually a map of the UK, tipped 90 degrees sideways. At the National Energy Systems Operator, in a tightly controlled building in Berkshire, a team of engineers monitors Britain’s electricity system second-by-second, making sure power stations are delivering enough electricity to meet demand. On June 23, during a heatwave, the system showed signs of strain as a surge in demand led to Britain having to cut its electricity exports to the Netherlands, and NESO had to issue an emergency call for extra supplies for the following day.
The Conservatives attacked Labour over this, citing it as a consequence of the government’s Net Zero policies. In a country used to reliable power supplies, a blackout could seriously damage the legitimacy of renewable energy. Julian Leslie, who leads strategic energy planning for Neso (shown in slide 4), isn’t worried; he stressed his confidence in the robustness of its system models, having introduced gradual changes which will enable the grid to run without gas-fired power stations online. “A lot of people think clean power 2030 is the end,” said Leslie. “It’s more like Everest base camp”.

It’s difficult to picture the world as we know it today without the shipping container. Last Tuesday I visited London Gateway, the UK’s largest container port, for this fascinating story by Alice Hancock in @financialtimes on the history of this metal box and the difficulties that globalised trade is starting to encounter, as the relentless demand for consumer goods, port congestion, physical infrastructural limitations and trade imbalances combine.

Some more pictures I liked from around Clacton-on-Sea and Frinton, photographed over a searingly hot weekend before last week’s by-election. Soundtrack by my favourite Essex man, Martin Newell.

Without planning to, I spent a lot of time in English coastal towns this summer. I was in Clacton-on-Sea two weeks ago photographing for a story in @nytopinion on last week’s by-election in Clacton, when Nigel Farage was returned as the constituency’s MP. I wound up running into him completely by chance, surrounded by body guards and his press team, at a charity event for military veterans in a park by the beach. The town square, baking in the heat, had turned into a bit of a circus as some of the many candidates who had put their name down on the ballot crossed paths and politely argued, alongside Youtube streamer provocateurs and a small group from Stand Up To Racism giving out anti-Farage flyers.

Tiana, 17, Great Yarmouth pier. She works at the ticket kiosk there, having grown up in Yarmouth. A lot of teenagers get their first job working on the pier in places like Joyland during the summer. She’s keen to get away, about to start her second year of college studying health and social childcare and psychology, and having just passed her driving test. She’s saving money for a car, hoping to set off towards Norwich.
