Nazanin's freedom should not be linked to repaying a historic debt - but if we owe it we should pay it...and now. My speech in parliament today @FreeNazanin
I’ve just bumped into Dominic Raab in central lobby so I smiled and said “good morning former Foreign Secretary”.
“Oh f**k off Ken!” He replied.
Still not over it then.
I take A LOT of long train journeys, and I’m sick of the single-use plastic cups when I treat myself to gin or wine on the way home. So I have bought myself an Edwardian silver-plated collapsible cup with a gilt wash interior. Antiques are green, and look cooler & luxurious too!
Flight to Berlin from @British_Airways delayed for two hours and hilariously high prices at ‘The City Food’ @LondonCityAir !! Over £20 for a burger!!! They know they have you by the short and curlies...utter rotters!
I’m excited to announce my next mid-century modern 20th century art & design sale with @DawsonsAuctions next Sunday 7th April at 12pm at @pureevilgallery in Hoxton, London. View the catalogue at https://t.co/xqKPu94k84 - estimates range from £50 to 50,000!
Consigned today for my next ‘Design At Home’ sale with @dawsonsauctions on 7th April. ‘Mirror Figure 1967’, an abstract figural bronze by sculptor Oliffe Richmond (1919-77), included in his 1980 retrospective. I’m accepting consignments of design from 1850 on until mid-February.
If you love Pre-Raphaelite art but can’t quite go to the high price levels they are fetching today, how about this? Lot 227 in @dawsonsauctions sale tomorrow is by Violet Beatrice Kell (1883-1977) at £300-500. It’s one of my favourite things from this auction. Stunning & serene.
We’re back! The new series of @BBC_ARoadshow returns today, Sunday 30th, at 8pm, kicking off with a ‘favourite finds’ look back at classic Roadshow moments and follow-up stories from the past 40 years. And an exciting update on this huge sculpture I filmed...

I’ve just given Dominic Raab an early Christmas present; a globe of the world. He was flabbergasted at how close the rest of Europe is then asked ‘what’s this blue stuff?’
I need a whisky.
