'The occasion was so historic, Prince Andrew was turned out in the paraphernalia and robes of a Royal Paedophile, following in the long tradition of Royal Paedophiles, whose garb was hand-stitched by specially selected nonces resident in HMP Stafford D-Wing.' #AbolishTheMonarchy

In The House of Guardaboschi (1912), Gustav Klimt transforms travel into a motif. By flattening the landscape, he creates a shimmering mosaic where garden and architecture merge into a dense tapestry of color.

I've always believed Oxford Street could be so much more than a road. Today we begin a new chapter as the nation’s high street goes traffic free, creating a place where people can spend time, enjoy the atmosphere and experience the very best of our city.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

As an amused observer of Manchester United, I can't wait for Jim Ratcliffe's next sage piece of advice on how Britain should be run.

And true to form, Farage and the Tories (Philp) respond by being totally dishonest about it… Freedom of movement with the EU requires EU citizenship. Immigration requires visas. Talk of ‘betrayal’ and ‘uncontrolled migration’ is the mark of a liar or a fool. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

How is Donald Trump’s criticism of President Zelensky interpreted in Moscow? “As a mandate to continue military pressure,” writes one Russian paper. I ask Muscovites to name one word that’s important to them & read what Russian schoolkids are taught about “defence of the Motherland.” #ReadingRussia

Klimt locks rooftops and water together in Houses at Unterach on the Attersee (1916). By turning the village into a shimmering, geometric grid, he flattens the landscape into a stack of colorful blocks that blur the line between nature and architecture.

Jim Ratcliffe has reacted to Man United's dismal form by sacking three bar staff, two security guards and an assistant in the ticket office. #MUNSOU

The reinvention of Jeremy Hunt as a sage and elder statesman overlooks his role as a participant in the creation of the current shitshow. #BBCLauraK

If there was a rank order of improvements, smoking restrictions would be near the top. Smoking was everywhere - in pubs, public transport, workplaces, doctors smoked on duty, TV presenters lighted up on election specials..

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

When I was a child thousands of people died needlessly every year because seat belts were not compulsory.

In Malcesine on Lake Garda (1913), Klimt uses a telescope to reimagine the Italian shore as a shimmering mosaic. This distant vantage point explains why the village feels so compressed, with rooftops flattened into a dense, pattern-like stack of vibrant color.

I suspect Badenoch is envious of Burnham getting invited onto Gogglebox, although finding a relatively normal friend to appear with her could have been a problem.
