'Request Stop, Hampstead.' (c1950) Stephen Bone painted a world full of charm. His style went out of fashion for some years but is again gaining popularity. If you are wondering about the colour of the bus sign, white bus signs with a red circle indicated 'compulsory' stops.

samuel pepys' diary is FRYING ME like what do you mean he records in explicit detail having it off with his servant, getting caught by his wife, feeling no remorse, then having the temerity to spend more time being pissed off at his wife being catholic and upset at him...

every Iranian woman they arrest is subjected to sexual assault in detention cells. I want to tell you how unimaginably brave people are, they take the risk of death, and even things worse than death, all in the name of freedom
“Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so that they do not go to heaven.” -Ayatollah Khomeini (founding leader of the Islamic regime in Iran). Just a reminder that this is the evil that Iranians are fighting.

The student loan scandal - interest on loans is more than the repayments for many on Plan 2 so debt grows trapping them with extra 9% income tax for up to 30 years https://t.co/1kw8ZC6Efi £15.2 billion interest added to student loans last year, only £5 billion repaid.

Everything you need to know about South East Water and the water industry in a single sentence. Between 2020 - 2022 South East Water spent more on paying dividends and debt interest that they invested in infrastructure like pipes and water treatment works.
We have no water. It usually tastes of bleach anyway. @SouthEastWater3 pay more to bankers and shareholders than they do on improving infrastructure. They setup a water collection station which has created gridlock. No water expected until Tuesday. They are an absolute joke.

Morning Mr Lammy. Happy Monday! Depends on your perspective, I suppose. We seem to be operating our court system (in crisis, with a backlog spilling out the door) at just 90% capacity today. Why? Let’s not restrict jury trials. Let’s solve this. Kindest regards, etc, etc.
📈Today, 12 January 2026, 53 out of the 516 Crown courtrooms in England & Wales will not be sitting. That's 10% of them. #courtstats #CS12012026

NEW: our polling shows Thames Water customers want it taken into public hands. They don't want a debt deal that would give Thames Water licence to pollute our rivers for the next 15 years. They don't want a third of their bills used to reward overseas investors. Public

Amid soaring water bills and a court battle over a debt bailout for Thames Water, new polling has found its customers want nationalisation.

Why in God's name do members of the public have to go to these kind of lengths simply to get regulators to do their job. Something is clearly very badly wrong.

It costs £3,254.58 for a court transcript in England. And that's before the cost of the actual legal advice + representation. Justice is only for people who can afford it. 👇🏻

Paula Vennells keeps her £Mns in bonuses despite her disgraceful conduct in the Post Office scandal. Michelle Mone gets to keep £15k pw received via the renting out of her London mansion despite the £148 Mn owed to taxpayers. The greatest robberies since the Hatton Garden Heist

As the protests in Iran continue, I want to add a note for everyone mentioning Mahsa Amini, whose murder sparked similar protests in 2022. Legally, her name was Mahsa. You see, in Iran, Kurdish people legally cannot give their children Kurdish names. It is a way to repress

And, you know, protecting children against what can be a very serious childhood illness, with complications including death, sepsis, stroke, and pneumonia. Maybe that should have been the primary focus of the message?

10 year old Rebekah Baptiste jumped out a window to escape her father’s abuse. She was found injured and starving on the side of a highway… but rather than protect her… police returned her to the abuser. Believe the victims. That’s literally all you have to do!

Germaine Greer said women have no idea how much men hate them. Until social media revealed it on the daily.
@LWDScotland @ForWomenScot I’m not sure any of them can actually show any women who have been harmed by this “issue” They won a technical victory about statutory interpretation regarding gender constraints on public boards. This isn’t 🇺🇸, the ruling isn’t authoritative and can be changed by parliament.

'The Glass Bowl.' (1920) William Nicholson was particularly fond of using glassware as the main focus of his still lifes. The properties of the contrasting shapes and reflections provided endless painterly possibilities for him to show off his treatment of light, tone, and form.
