The first politicised human rights reports by the US have been published. I won’t link them. I am appalled. No longer a serious document. See the conclusion on El Salvador by the US - and compare to that of Amnesty International.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Ooh sorry I dunno what that is 🥶 they’re so helpful I’m sure they would help if they could.

Un-common nearby is a great coffee shop and as they’re only a UK business they’ll actually pay tax.

“Test Model”. I used my partner as a stand in to set up studio lighting to get a perfect Rembrantian triangle. Charcoal on paper. #art #charcoaldrawing

Getting very close to calling this finished. What do you think? It’s charcoal on A1 paper #art

Fabulous evening watching TalkArt by Russell Tovey and Robert Diament talk all things Hamad Butt at his Whitechapel exhibition.

What a fun day at Wimbledon with my sis. Thank goodness for the portable aircon. Still roasting though. Poor Carlos 🥺

You've been conned.

Crazy few days as my painting is included in London’s National Portrait Gallery Portrait Award exhibition #art #portraitpainting

Sad to hear Starmer cite changing the Labour Party as one of his major achievements. Sure, it's changed, in so far as everyone in it feels alienated and drained of hope but it's not very classy to brag about that.

Inside the Royal Academy’s Most Unhinged Art Party Meme lord DalstonSuperStoned got glammed up, tipsy, and philosophical at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition—and lived to overshare it for i-D.

Both me and my painting were meme’d in i-D magazine i-d.co/article/roya...

Day 1 of a 2 day portrait drawing masterclass with Curtis Holder at @artacademy.bsky.social - a lovely chilled day.
