TBF he looks like a twelve year old, who the courts can’t name, who has just been found guilty of collecting underwear and body parts.

Pencil logo sketches by Jerry Dammers for 2Tone, 1979. On show from Saturday at the new V&A East museum.

It’s like a cosmic rock family trees

THAT is one of those perfect colour cord colours you search for - and yr rocking it.

Call me a cynic but I would guess that the 100 person floor is fine for Altman & co as they’ll find a way to apply it to the cumulative number of claimants in class actions.

But, putting the usual ‘libertarian’ hypocrisies and contradictions aside for a moment, he only has to wear a T-shirt to be a guru.

But… but… he wears a leather jacket

You have to hand it to the guy - Trump attacking Iran is like sanctions - NOT like Putin attacking Ukraine. It takes a special kind of ethical and intellectual bankruptcy to nail that one.

NB. The costumey stuff is the current stuff - very ‘unconventional material’ challenge week on Runway.

Assume it’s a membership drive, we literally joined up yesterday just to see it this AM. Didn’t feel ‘sold out’ busy.

Show is beautiful though, I’m now obsessed by her buttons, the suiting is more amazing than the gowns. Too much of the very 1D ‘look at me’ costumey stuff though.

It’s almost like they’re too lazy to dig or hang or even look… or maybe they’re too busy making the same fucking documentary every year.

TBF modern life generally.
It just starts with work, it’s experience and aspiration and lifestyle and class that they’re blind to.

Love to see an analysis of the social contact that pols (+ associated admin/wonks and journos) have with people in those classifications.

Might explain a lot.

No swans. Everyone knows they’ll break your arm.

If I ‘un-lapse’ do I get a vote?

Four!!! That many? Punk kid’s an anthropologist.

Tickling the tummy of a constituency conservative commitee

I like how he’s going for the ‘hungover maga grifter’ look now though

She’s a British Citizen, but doesn’t have a British passport. If she leaves the UK on her current passport but without a Certificate of Entitlement she won’t be allowed back in. Since 26th Feb it’s been that simple. Prior to then she could come and go based on PLTR & Citizenship.

Thing is that when you tell people, like me, whose wife is in bits thanks to this we can’t help but take it ‘personally’. It’s not a fucking game.

It felt pretty fucking binary when my, recent citizen, wife was sobbing this morning. There are sides, compassion and decency ought to transcend a desire for some peace and quiet in the party.

Had to cancel family Easter holiday this AM. My wife, became a British citizen last year, now paid £589 on a long, upsetting and intrusive process to get a Certificate of Entitlement (or she can’t get back in the country) which won’t be done by the time we go.

High bar for architecture in Croydon - great to see this there, must check it out in the flesh.

Let’s not make a Montaigne out of a molehill

It's an affectation of 'centrism', drawing on cultural tropes of moderation between the middle of extremes. In reality it's nothing of the sort - it's its own sort of extremism.

Establishment mag only wants more establishment policies shocker

It's not really strategy though, is it? I'm a strategist - the thing they practice mistakes the metric (seats/polling ) for the objective (doing stuff that people want and that you want to and can deliver). You can hack the former in the short term but it'll screw your chances of doing the latter.

There’s three constituencies out there : ‘people with wage paying jobs’, ‘people on pensions’ and ‘people benefitting richly from the status quo’. The pressure on wage earners creates a bigger bloc than just the working class. Spencer’s acceptance speech sets out wage earners vs rentiers clearly.

At what point do these people think ‘maybe I’m not cut out for this job’?

Don’t pundits and columnists have basic competence levels they need to clear in order to keep their jobs?

More like an establishment apologist in a world with elite fatigue. 18 months of telling people they can’t have nice things because of ‘reasons’ has met Andy/Mandy showing us the Epstein class’s priorities. 70% voted populist and Spencer’s billionaire speech sounds like an acute insight.

You’d think 70% voting for populist parties might make the ‘let’s be the nice & grown up’ establishment party’ think a bit deeper. Weeks of Andy/Mandy isn’t a great ad for grown-up plutocrats. Spencer’s ‘lining billionaire pockets’ comments feel like a an analysis and call to action.
