Did you know the Duke of Wellington lived long enough to be photographed? This image, taken in 1844, captures Arthur Wellesley, the hero of Waterloo, in one of the earliest photographs ever taken.

Outrageously pretty new old Japanese coffee pot. The Japanese made millions of these in the 1940s. So it cost me all of £28 on eBay

This is, by some distance, the most contemptible performance I’ve seen from a sitting Prime Minister at PMQs. Quite staggering to think Starmer once posed as the man who would restore faith in the conduct of our elected officials.

🚨 WATCH: Tory MP Andrew Snowden attacks Keir Starmer's "pre-scripted nonsense" answers which bear "no resemblance" to the questions asked Starmer: "They don't want to talk about the war because they supported going into the war without thinking of the consequences" #PMQs

@AdamPollock I’m conducting a one man campaign to get rid of grey and beige. And greige. How did they ever convince us that grey is “tasteful”? It’s depressing

I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country. I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths. That’s British values. The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.

Working with Claude on some complex task. I requested that he read an entire document, and stop skimming He replied "You're right, sorry — let me finish it properly. No point doing this half-arsed." It's just.... unnerving. Down to the British wording. So... human
