Una volta postavo le foto di street photography che scattavo in giro. Adesso mi lascio sedurre dall'accendino BAR abbinato alla birra 😂

The Goodies were silly and daft and ruled the 1970s, and were very much loved by a young me

Unite the Clan managed to pull just 400 racists from across the UK after three months of planning for their national protest

Once again, we outnumbered the racists & the far right. We got over 4000 people 2day. They were kettled 4hours, arrests were made & they left demoralised.

@Jo_Caulfield Get they wee Martini onions. Failing anything else, you can use them as earplugs.

Did you know that the current World Cup Trophy is actually the second trophy to be awarded to the winners?

The original had a much more eventful life.

It was stolen twice, recovered by a dog and and eventually melted down.

Here’s the story.

Rushed around Tate Modern this week &, to my surprise, found myself enjoying the Tracey Emin show more than Frida Kahlo.

The latter has little Kahlo in it. It’s a tribute act. Whereas Emin — gobby, magnetic, pain on parade—is completely present. Bleeding all over the canvas.

I’ve got one of Gail’s cushions gracing my living room chair. Quality is amazing, the design even better.
Unfortunately my cat Rocket has nabbed the chair - however he gives his approval.
Must be Pete’s splendid packing.

Go on- give your lounge a bit of Modernist colour.

In the scramble to respond to a global pandemic, I watched in awe as the vast majority of ordinary Britons came together with quiet decency, courage and altruism.

Not quite everyone though - as today’s damning report from the UK Covid-19 inquiry chair, Heather Hallett, lays bare.

Boris Johnson’s infamous ‘VIP’ lane for PPE procurement wasted an eye-watering £10bn of public money by favouring suppliers with connections to government, despite their abject lack of experience.

Cronies like Michelle Mone squandered hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on useless, unfit-for-purpose PPE, all while lining their corrupt, bottomless coffers.

“The waste of public money was vast and could have been avoided, says Hallet. "Of approximately £14.9bn spent on PPE, nearly two thirds – almost £10bn – was wasted.”

Meanwhile, NHS doctors, nurses and care sector staff were forced to work with pitifully adequate PPE and lack of essential healthcare equipment such as ventilators. We couldn’t protect ourselves - or those in our care - from infection.

I will never forget those plastic pinnies so thin they tore apart in your hands, and the paper masks so flimsy the ear loops fell off as you unfolded them.

Hancock and Johnson will forever crow that they were heroes. But frontline staff in hospitals like mine will never forget the fear, the pressure, the staggering loss of life and our colleagues - who died of the deadly disease they caught while trying so valiantly to save others.
