Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians".

He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA

Well fucking played, Caerphilly 😂

Theatre Royal Stratford East with the statue of Joan Littlewood keeping watch for new ideas…

Gorgeous altarpiece which I'll be seeing again in a few weeks time in Florence. The dark-haired shepherd is thought to be a self-portrait of Ghirlandaio.

And THIS is the man the British government decided to honour with a second state visit? THIS is the man wined and dined at Windsor Castle, hosted by the Royal Family, lauded and feted at Chequers? The stench. The shame.

Saw the new documentary about Marianne Faithfull - 'Broken English' - yesterday as part of the London Film Festival. Worth seeing if you can.

Yes, it's true.

Trump really did post an AI video of himself - in a crown - dumping shit on people protesting against him.

This is a man Nigel Farage calls "inspirational".

Went to the David Bowie Centre at the V&A East Storehouse today.

I’m sure they didn’t mean to eliminate the woman in this image.

Went to the ‘Theatre Picasso’ exhibition yesterday.

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

Do you want fair, independent press regulation?
Do you want to protect ordinary people from press abuse?
Do you want to restore trust in the press?

So do Hugh Grant & Jacqui Hames.
Sign the petition to change the law.

Let's demand change

If it's 'libellous' then why don't they sue?

'The Most Powerful Individual in Britain' – Peter Oborne on Morgan McSweeney Peter Oborne’s exclusive Byline Times reporting exposes how Keir Starmer's chief strategist is driving a Labour Government towards defeat by the far-right

this is excellent by @peteroborne : government should not be run by political advisors, who know and care nothing about good policy, principles , integrity, just “winning” open.substack.com/pub/bylinesu...

Went to see the new Neo-Impressionist exhibition at the National Gallery- well worth a viewing.

I may have said it before, but my God, I hate that man.

Unable to visit my Alzheimer's ridden mother - telling my young children that we needed to abide by all the rules not just for ourselves but for our neighbours and friends too.

Meanwhile that arrogant tosser did what the fuck he wanted.

‪
Despite the media attention he receives, Farage does not represent the majority of people in Britain, nor the values that our country is built on - cooperation, democracy, fairness, human rights and the rule of law.
Don't let him persuade you his policies are popular.

When did “uptick” become a word?

Went to the Edward Burra exhibition at Tate Britain

Visited the V&A East Storehouse yesterday - so much to see and get up close and personal with (if you order in advance).

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

He’s doing it again.

Cosplaying Reform is a validation of Reform.

Lovely drawings!

I bought this back then. The Adverts seem to be the forgotten band of the first wave of punk.

Dispelling harmful misinformation about M&S 'trans' bra fitting row Dangerous misinformation over an M&S 'trans' bra fitting story is spreading online; here's what we actually know.

The moment I saw that "trans bra" M & S story I sensed it was nonsense.

Seconds later, having read the Telegraph piece I knew it was worse than that. It was deliberate hate mongering completely devoid of evidence, names and facts.

Superb job of debunking it here
