“Well, back at one point, it was a word used to describe the planet’s great unfathomable wonders, although now it generally means ‘Thanks for emailing me that PDF'."

Britain needs to look to the future, the country is at its best when innovating - Andy Brown
There has long been a dangerous tendency for some people on the left to believe that Britain is broken and the solution to our problems lies in copying the way things are done in other countries.

Happy #NationalHedgehogDay 🥺
This little Egyptian faience model of a hedgehog is from a tomb at Abydos, and was made around 1,500–1,300 BCE.
Hedgehogs had a favourable reputation in ancient Egypt, and were often seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal of life.

'Fish fillet on a pewter plate.' (1930) Walter Vaes still-lifes have a fresh, realist tendency that reflects the success and influence of Gustave Courbet's paintings and fall clearly within his repertoire of 'visible and tangible things.'

This ought to have been the main UK news story from the DoJ’s latest Jeffrey Epstein data dump.
Peter Mandelson told Epstein he was “trying hard” to change government policy on bankers’ bonuses at his request, months after Epstein paid thousands of pounds to the then Business Secretary’s husband.
