He doth protest too much, methinks
Our cover this week - forget the woke lifestyle outlets and subscribe to a weekly that punches the enemy hard:
Emerging at a crucial juncture in van Gogh’s early development as an artist, 'Bridge Over a Ditch' from 1883 is amongst his earliest explorations of colour in his depictions of the Dutch landscape, made while living in The Hague.
“You're just a jumped up Fox News anchor who suddenly decided to become the Secretary of War - ordering the death of people you've got no record of.” Has a leaked recording of US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth opened him up to accusations of war crimes? @maitlis | @jonsopel
Donald Trump’s hateful words don’t stand in Minnesota.
Bingo!
I didn't have high hopes for the next iteration of Nigel Farage's defence against allegations of racism, but even I expected better than 'I can't be a racist because Bernard Manning was on telly in the seventies'
Not sure Farage’s double-standard defence is the winner here thinks it is. Neither the BBC nor ITV were airing jokes about gas chambers back then
Harry Horton(ITV news): I've spoken to another pupil from Dulwich College... Nigel Farage: "Good for you... let's move on to the Times... Bernard Manning... you were the channel of Bernard Manning..." 👀
Bingo!
This makes an important point. Can anyone still remember the “ collapsed China spy case,” let alone why the Maily Telegraph whipped up such a fuss. Voters are being served up daily “scandals” that it only serves to delegitimise elected govts and demoralise us all. Cynical folly
President Trump’s pardon of convicted drug trafficker Juan Orlando Hernández is outrageous. What message does this send parents who’ve lost children to narcotics or law enforcement risking everything to stop deadly drugs? It's disgraceful and deserves bipartisan condemnation.
Proud of my people!
3 in 3 schoolchildren in Glasgow think you're a rancid tit.
Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber
The Christmas lights in St Andrews this year have been described by locals as “pants”.
OBR gets the story right; pity the BBC's political editor didn't 👇🏽
Chancellor Rachel Reeves did not mislead on challenges facing UK ahead of Budget, OBR official tells MPs bbc.in/3Xv02TJ
On This Day in 1894: Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson died in Samoa, aged just 44. He had been living in Samoa for 4 years with his wife, when he died suddenly of a brain haemorrhage. His books include Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Kidnapped.
Edwin Smith was a brilliant photographer as well as a painter and during his lifetime he produced a huge volume of oil and watercolour paintings. This little gem, 'Turf Fire,' was made in the 1940s.
I’m old enough to remember when he talked about sleepy Joe
There’s literally no reason for us to know what world leaders look like when they’re asleep… And yet we’re all so familiar with the sight of this conked out windbag.
Lying in politics is wrong and should never be rewarded, says newspaper which pays Boris Johnson £1 million a year to be its star columnist
PART 2: Why 'fiscal rules' matter, and what we should do
Britain's debt, explained with custard creams.
Dusk this evening (well, late afternoon really!) on a rather beautifully lit Ashton Lane in the West End of Glasgow. #glasgow #ashtonlane #nightphotography #glasgowatnight #glasgowtoday #lights
