For months, ministers have been pushing a false choice between nature and growth. Now, new research shows just how out of touch they are. With data from More In Common, it's time to set the record straight. 👇

People of London! PLEASE SHARE. I lost my necklace last night (10th Nov), and I'm hoping someone has found it. I caught the Northern Line from High Barnet to Leicester Square, then walked to the Prince Charles Cinema, then the same back again. I only noticed it was gone when I got home.

Conservative Shadow Culture Secretary Nigel Huddleston tells GB News that the BBC should "grovel" to Trump. Amazing how many British 'patriots' are spending their time telling our national broadcaster to prostrate itself before a hostile foreign leader

'Logan's Rock, St Levan,' (c1916) perfectly demonstrates the height of Laura Knight’s development in Cornwall, this work is part of a series of paintings she composed between 1915 and 1919 all sharing an elevated viewpoint, dramatic diagonal composition and vibrant colour.

Presumably Ant Middleton would approve of this because it attempts to erase people of colour (like Adil Ray) from WW2 narratives.

Rachel Reeves signals plan to remove two-child benefit cap in budget. Welcome. Would lift 350,000 children out of poverty. Why did Starmer/Reeves follow the Tory policy? Why did 7 MPs have their whip withdrawn for voting against the policy? What was the point of making children suffer?

'Coast Scene at Brighton: Evening.' This view, painted in May 1828, depicts the setting sun over Shoreham-by-Sea, west of Brighton. The melancholy character of the picture may be linked to the declining health of John Constable's wife Maria, who died six months later.

If you think that black and brown faces in advertising is linked to "legitimate concerns" about mass migration, it does suggest that you think that all black and brown people are foreigners. Which, for a party whose current leader is black and whose previous leader was brown, is quite something.
