'Lunch,' was painted in the spring of 1918 and shows Harold Harvey's increasingly vibrant, highly decorative style of work. One of the finest interior paintings of his home in Newlyn, Cornwall; from the choice of clothes to the Egyptian wall-hanging, the painting sings colour.

Joseph Crabtree produced some of his most stylistically original work in the 1930s. In this scene depicting the city of Durham in the northeast of England, he used a realistic stone coloured palette and arranged buildings into regular geometric patterns.

Heather Humphreys was ‘unsympathetic’ to fears over change to wildlife law, say activists Campaigners had ‘no access for discussion’ on ‘damaging’ Bill extending hedgerow-cutting season

Heather Humphreys was a disaster as minister in charge of heritage and nature. She didn't meet nature groups and seemed to have no interest in her job expect for when it came to weaking wildlife laws to allow more burning and hedge-cutting.

Well done Moldova👏🎆🥂

Don’t let the EU tear down nature protection ❌

The European Commission is quietly trying to dismantle the laws that safeguard what we cherish most: our nature.

They think we wouldn’t notice or care. But we do.

ETSC: Mutual recognition deal with U.S. will cost lives on Europe’s roads By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the United States, the European Union has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice…

Europe is already flooded with oversized, dangerous SUVs. Allowing more U.S. pick-ups and mega-SUVs will make our streets deadlier, worsen emissions, and undermine efforts for safer, sustainable mobility.

This harms people and the planet!

This is the opposite of what we need!
