Just read this @The_Fence_Mag belter about the Groucho Club by @FonieMits, a smorgasbord of juicy stuff featuring Zodiac Mindwarp, 'The Peruvian Procurement Department' 🎱 and more.. Amazing

One of the best things we've published this year, dripping with juicy anecdotage and with loads of gossipy old codgers going on the record: The Fence at it's absolute best (imo).

'Another partygoer conjured the memory of Benjamin Butterworth, Twitter fabulist and GB News presenter, holding a private event at the Groucho in 2023. The club – once a lodestar for a meritocratic Albion promised by New Labour – has become decidedly Tory in energy.' the-fence.com/dean-street-co…

Last week @ObsNewReview sent me to cover the VIP days at the Venice Biennale. Here’s what I wrote once I regained consciousness. Read on for pirate ships, urine scuba, liquid psilocybin and Benedictine lasers.

Last year, an event was held to celebrate Devyani Saltzman, arts director and driving force behind the Barbican Centre. A few weeks later, she was out of a job. What happened? And why do ex-staff say it's like "Game of Thrones"? My @_TheLondoner expose: the-londoner.co.uk/barbican-chaos…

Solo guerrilla leafletting campaigns, recounts and councillors escaping interviews by reversing their cars. I went deep for @_TheLondoner on how Labour lost Lambeth council, a Blairite finishing school for everyone from Steve Reed to Peter Mandelson. the-londoner.co.uk/lambeth-to-the…

'Just as cocaine use became increasingly normalised across the country – openly snorted in pubs and football grounds – an honest toot at the Groucho, British High Society’s Gakky Ground Zero, became an effective impossibility.'

incredible things happening over at bluesky 🤯😨

@milesellingham What an honor !! 🫡 from THE miles ellingham !

Great piece by @FonieMits

Full of gossip and familiar names… we ask: are all the cool spots for creative iconoclasts destined to become mainstream (overrun by journos/PRs/Tories)?

This is such an outstanding piece of reportage from @FonieMits, with lots of lifelong members going on the record. the-fence.com/dean-street-co…
