King's College Chapel and Clare College Gate with the Old Schools on the left, pastel (sold a while age). I love the way the light streams through the architecture here and have done several watercolours and pastels in this area.

Dancers at Cambridge Strawberry Fair. This fair was a delight, running from the '70s but stalling in recent times. Hippy freedom is too unruly for today's over-controlled society. The unpredictable might happen.

20 years ago today, I released a song that bought me this house. Whoever thought a song about being high as a kite on drugs, stalking someone else’s girlfriend would resonate quite so much? Thank you. You guys are beautiful.

A drop of paint conditioner makes a big difference. Makes water based paint almost feel like you’re applying oil based paint. Does what it says on the label.

This is absolutely brilliant satire that succinctly explains how the Daily Mail radicalises people.

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

This is incredible stuff. Furious reaction from the Fourth Circuit
NEW: The Fourth Circuit REJECTS the Trump admin's appeal of Judge Xinis's orders to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release: "We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court's recent decision." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I actually think that he is doing a good job - under so much pressure from events and trump of course
He does seem to want to sort stuff out and I personally don’t see many alternative politicians of his stature
He’s really grown into it
As an aside Gordon brown has grown exponentially in my view

This is very good indeed. I hope it will be widely read and acted upon in Treasury and Number 10.
New post just out
A timely guest post from John Kingman - chair of Legal + General and Barclays UK - on what Labour need to do if they're serious about getting the economy moving.
More important than ever given the impact of the Trump tariffs.

Good article. Worth reading.
Reposting something I wrote from a couple of weeks ago about the new US/Russia axis and where it comes from. It isn’t just transactional, it’s ideological. It’s bleak but it’s reality.

It's almost funny to watch Starmer and Macron, in their own way, fact check this chuntering moron, to little effect. Truth means nothing to him. He engineers his own crybaby reality.
Trump repeats claim that European nations get money donated to Ukraine back.
And Starmer explains that we don't, it's mostly gift aid, not a loan
