A pencil drawing I did for a friends birthday. It’s of his late dog, a lurcher called Jake. I can show this now as he actually has (the very late) birthday gift!

So. All those dodgy VIP purchases the Tories made in 2020/2021. They were added as a spend on the NHS budget, to make it look like they were spending more money on our National Health Service

I was looking at this posed shot and wondering why the wall looked weird. And then I realised it was a fucking backdrop. They took stands and a studio backdrop!
In post renaissance painting, this was called a “swagger” portrait. Says it all, really.

I’ve submitted the forms. I have a dog from your Essex kennels who is now 9
He’s called Duke, I adopted him when he was five. He’s a bit of a noodle, but totally placid now and such a good boy. I hope Enzo finds a home!

Zac! Everything you are is by accident of birth. I’m sure it wasn’t perfect, but your Dad was a billionaire. You have no fucking idea about how to tell people how they should feel or respond to this. You have an opinion, but it’s pretty fucking rarefied. Shut up

Hardeep speaks the truth. The bulk of our MSM is high on power and privilege. Many of these senior journalists attended the same private schools as our senior politicians. They dine together, they party together, they cover each others’ backs. It’s unhealthy for the nation
“Too much of established British journalism remains an elite, closed club. Close to power and influencing it... That it continues to get away with its ability to distort our politics and society is one of the biggest scandals of our time”

This sounds like and will undoubtedly feel like a nightmare. The thing is, it’s okay not knowing how to cope, who would? Allow yourself to grieve, that’s because you loved your mum. Grief is love, it just happens when the person that you love is no longer there to hear it. ❤️🩹

Retweet this. Don’t just like it. Retweeting is like putting your mask on to help others. Share this information, not the virus
In the current pandemic context, masks don’t take away your freedom - they *increase* your freedom. If everyone indoors is effectively masked, I can go to the office, shop, get on trains, go to cinema etc. If nobody’s masked, we’re all less safe hence lifestyles more restricted.

Let's get one thing straight. The NHS didn't break itself. The Tories broke the NHS. They broke it through 13 years of neglect and under investment. They broke it because they don't use it, love, want it. And because - like everything else they broke - they simply didn't care.

Oxbridge is massively flawed. I get that, truly, I do. My daughter went to Cambs and hated it. Most of the people I’ve met who went, who didn’t come from a massively privileged background hated it. This isn’t about A* is it?
