This would have been a good Onion headline.

VERY IMPORTANT. The Paul Foot Award is free to enter, insanely credible and career-enhancing and judged impeccably fairly and on merit. This is how to enter www.private-eye.co.uk/pictures/pau...

London dawn.

Glasgow and fires.

I find the media faux outrage at this Trump anti-Starmer stuff absurd. His administration is loudly attempting to usher in far right governments for the UK and Europe. He is abandoning NATO and is a friend of Putin. And the only special relationship the US has is with Israel.

Short run.

Considering the UK’s nuclear missiles seem to stutter and fall in The sea this sounds an unnecessary investment.

'So tell me, is there a Mr Conduct in Public Office?'

Mandelson in the back of a cop car. Good day for Jeremy Corbyn.

On the BBC this morning reports that ex Prince Andrew billed taxpayer for massages. They do know what that is right? That it is not about massages?

Bernd & Hilla Becher show at Spruth Magers in London is phenomenal.

Is it German intelligence that uses typewriters so they can’t be hacked? Always liked that.

🚨VERY IMPORTANT! ON 16 MARCH PARLIAMENT WILL DEBATE A PETITION FOR BY-ELECTIONS TO BE TRIGGERED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MP’S DEFECT CONTACT YOUR MP NOW and ask them to attend the debate and support this petition - let’s sort this out once and for all

Pretty incredible that this somehow looks like the work of a very good A level art student from 1986.

I’ve never heard the expression ‘wrongdoing’ so much in my life.

When the Hungarian architect László Hudec got to Shanghai in 1918, ‘he found himself in exactly the right place: Shanghai was booming and in the process of turning itself into Asia’s 20th-century city par excellence’, writes @edwinheathcote.bsky.social

The Elefantino! This is awful. www.reuters.com/lifestyle/tr...

Very long shot here but would anyone I know on here know how to contact Sally Hawkins? The actor?

Lovely piece, this one.

This is fascinating. Real unusual insight.

Netherlands Foto Museum. Excellent.

www.ft.com/content/d613... There may be no finer place to see photography than Rotterdam’s Fotomuseum. This really is an excellent museum. I’ll post pics shortly.

www.ft.com/content/93a0... Once reviled, now celebrated, London’s Southbank Centre is a genuine civic wonder.

Ventilation column, street lamp, finger post. Tooting. The Victorians really had a go at street furniture.

Random background 1960s buildings, Budapest.

The Russians are already funding these though.

Cool the way Mandelson says he has no record of the money from Epstein. Like he would have an excel sheet of corrupt bribes and dodgy ‘loans’.

What am I doing here in this endless winter? Franz Kafka Drawing, Franz Kafka, 1901

The best Investment I ever made was a hair clipper (1 of 2) I’ve had almost no hair since my early 20s and I’d sit in the barber shop watching him create extravagant hairstyles and when it was my turn he just needed to give a quick No 1. Maybe 2 mins vs 20 mins. I asked for a discount….

Early morning backstreet Soho.

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Might now be a good time to revisit £200bn spending on a Trident programme entirely dependent on the US?

This is great. So brown. So Sunday.
