Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

came across tiny postman's gardens in old London where there is a wall of plaques, set up in 1900, for ordinary people who sacrificed themselves to save others...

Jenrick has gone from forgettable nobody to frothing-BNP-styled dickhead. Why does this corrupt little man get to strut around the media blowing his racist dog-whistle?
He should be shamed and shunned out of political existence. We all despise the Tory party for a reason. He’s one of those reasons.

I walked past newspaper stand this morning and actually felt the venom, the misogyny was almost palpable. It feels like anyone from a minority, or a woman, is back to being a target again. "Don't get above yourself". I thought we had matured as a nation recently, but how easily we fall back.

The red legs & inserted blue flowers really pop in this gorgeous c.1500 French stained glass panel of partridges at the Musee de Cluny. The red was rendered with iron oxide rich sanguine, and the whole thing gives off William Morris/Arts and Crafts vibes.
