Norman Stevens was one of the great painters and printmakers of his generation. He studied at Bradford School of Art alongside Hockney, John Loker and David Oxtoby and was the first of this group to continue his studies in London. This is 'Spring,' from 1976.

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.
"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.
Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.
Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’m so pleased you are doing this, I agree 100%
I no longer live in London, but it’s been imperative to me to remain connected to it for its vitality, diversity, history, culture and so much more. Please check out Josh Homme’s love letter to London. I got goosebumps!

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Donald Trump is a problem for all of us, not just America.
Trump is leading the global attack on human rights from funding genocide, overturning abortion access and militarizing cities across the US.
We cannot be silent and we cannot be complicit.

It's just so very tiring.
But it looks like it needs to be said again and again.

When centrists adopt far-right rhetoric, they don’t make themselves stronger. They make themselves look inauthentic, legitimise the far right, and shift the political debate onto terrain defined by their opponents.
