London has truly fallen. Marauding hordes of tweed-clad cyclists, some on penny farthings, are having a good time in Lincoln’s Inn Fields #londonhasfallen

Oh the Tweed Ride! Did it last year! Was fantastic.

The return of Londonophobia Reflections on an ancient prejudice

“A city with all the right enemies” - delightful column this:

Not enough Labour people feel they know KS well or share a long history. Lawyers really loyal but party people don’t know him that deeply. Phil Woolas’ funeral was packed with 40 year campaign mates who’d been through fire together. Even Boris had been around politics for decades. You need that.

Exactly my first thought

The Daily Mail poll about whether the UK should re-join the European Union did not go according to plan.

can't say I usually enjoy a whimsical shop sign but credit where credit's due, this made me laugh when I walked past earlier:

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration.

​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro.

“Overlooking people’s homes”. If you think oncologists or their patients are spending their days staring into your windows you really have no idea what their lives are like.

What is an educational lobster? Did it teach?

Well it’s rarity is encouraging in itself.

One of my cartoons in Monday's Metro

oh man, early 1990s crime was *so bad* across the West. (the peak is mid-1990s.). We lived in a nice, middle-class Mancunian neighborhood; we got broken into three times, our student lodger got stabbed on the street, I got mugged several times as a teenager.

Yep.

Remember last weekend (or this weekend for the orthodox). Easter was the resurrection. So for Christians Christ is risen. So it’s the worship of false Gods that’s the problem. And you can see why there’s a rule against it…

I’ll raise you. This one’s living his best life.

I’m kind of impressed that the US still has an official who knows about the Avignon Papacy. How did he escape the Musk cull? Or did he not know about or get round to papal envoys?
