Robert Jenrick tried to help porn baron and ex Express owner avoid millions in tax on housing deal, discussed at Tory party fund raiser, he admitted he had acted illegally.

Guardian front page , photo of a group of cops in hi viz and wearing blue surgical gloves somewhere in central London. Headline reads “police to get new power to crack down repeated protests, says Home Secretary.

Went to down to the seaside to see Vic Melody’s home coming gig and do a Q and A.

Quick stroll to catch a dusk moon over the pier.

Brighton pier at dusk, lights over the arcade pronounce the venue. In a broad evening sky a full moon shines against the grey light.
