@StuartHumphryes Magnificent.

On such a beautiful day like today my mind is drawn back to one of the most beautiful autochromes ever taken: a study of artists on the banks of the Dordogne at Beaulieu in France 101 years ago. The light, the colour & the composition are works of art in itself! I have cleaned up this stunning photographic plate showing an artist at his easel being painted in turn by a woman at hers. In the distance is the St Pierre Abbey church. It captures a moment of true serenity and beauty. You will notice, because of the long exposure time required by Autochromes, that the female painter has become a double-exposed through motion blur. It was taken in colour Jules Gervais-Courtellemont in 1925 using an early colour glass-plate process and isn't colourised. It remains one of my favourite works.

Elliot’s long, confused pause as he struggles to reconcile his own absurd reasoning sums up the Brexiteers’ vacuous intellectual rationale, but also the arrogance & smugness with which they conned, & continue to con, the electorate. Charlatans.

#ClimateEmergency - it is here and now. 84% reported of businesses reported that they had experienced at least one direct impact from climate change within the past two years edie.net/report-70-of-u…

@ZoeJardiniere Yes so true. I’ve studied this since the 1980s when even Thatcher realised that the large numbers of working people then in mid-life would create an employment problem when they retire. That time is now.

Yesterday morning I got asked the real serious question of this election - Is the UK full?

@AgnesCPoirier Oh no. I’ve followed his work since I was an art student in the 60s and he was making his name whilst still a student. In his case at the RCA. He was also a great communicator.

RIP David Hockney

@DuilleDesign Beautifully drawn with paint.

"The Mill, Durweston". Stanley Spencer. 1920.

@DuilleDesign I agree. A design hero.

Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

How many birds are there?

Bravo Cath!!! 👏

Wow. Eight years after I began investigating these links, the Daily Telegraph catches on. Can’t help feeling this is something of a landmark moment

Let's get this news story about Reform UK and political corruption retweeted thousands of times 👇

I read the news today Oh boy

Here's a happy-go-lucky 🎶 parody about the way that @RobertKennedyJr is now collapsing American healthcare - based off #PaulSimon's toe-tapping "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard". It's called: "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard."

@jazz_sunday A colossus. I heard him in two performances in England in the 1960s. I’ve never forgotten the explosion of creativity Sonny displayed.

95 today, Happy Birthday to the Saxophone Colossus that is “Sonny" Rollins (born September 7, 1930)

Something very concerning is happening in Hull & East Yorkshire. The new Reform UK Mayor has launched a website for a “£1m Community Fund.” Here’s why residents should be worried 👇 1/10

Who’s behind the Centre for Migration Control? This so-called “research organisation” has been cited in The Sun, The Telegraph, The Times and Express - but it appears to be run by one man with a Brexit campaign past, publishing opaque and selective data and wild claims about migrants.  The Eye asked the Centre for Migration Control for more information regarding its employees, funding, research methodology and third-party validation, but received no response. Full story in the new Private Eye, out now.

Applebaum: Trump shows no empathy. He calls opponents vermin and says immigrants poison the nation's blood — language used by Hitler. He’s immune to cruelty, unmoved by civilian deaths. 2/
