I am delighted to annouce that my image "Mother and Daughter. Waiting Room" has been shortlisted in the 2023 @bjp1854 Portrait of Britain Award, and will feature in Portrait of Britain Vol 5 published today by @hoxtonminipress . #PortraitofBritain @JCDecaux_UK

Nothing surprises me about @realDonaldTrump anymore. He’s vacuous, self-absorbed, and genuinely believes he’s the smartest guy in the world. The irony is that the actual smartest guys are not sure they’re the smartest guy in the room… when they’re the only one in there. #moron.

Another company that can’t stand the idea of its customers being able to actual talk to it. Using bots and infuriating “live chat” in an effort to make simple problems as infuriating complicated as possible. @YodelOnline #utterlycrapservice.

. @WHSmith you are taking the piss. Petrol is only 75p for 500ml. How the hell do you justify this complete utter rip-off??

RT @hudson_derek: Hello VP @JDVance, as you and yr liar in chief can’t recall who started the war in Ukraine, watch this devastating Oscar….

Putin says he wants peace. He can have that instantly. He calls VZ and sets a time for a ceasefire. Midnight should do. He then instructs his troops to retreat from Ukraine back to Russia. That’s it. Peace. Ukraine won’t attack. Neither will anyone else. #warover.

The Good Samaritan took the injured man to a hostel, and gave the owner money to look after him, saying he’d give more if necessary. Trump would want to be paid by both parties, and demand public displays of gratitude. Somehow MAGA christians in the US can’t see how shallow he is.

At the moment it is a very uncivil war. God help all of us if it heats up. #ovaloffice #trump.

Judging by the diametrically opposed views of US citizens to the events in the Oval Office, the most dangerous fault line opening up in the world is actually in the United States. This isn’t the normal like/dislike, agree/disagree - this is blind love and blind hate.

You’ll find that @ZelenskyyUa is very ready for peace. What he is unequivocally not ready for is peace at any price. I wonder if @realDonaldTrump would be so willing to negotiate with Putin, if an American had died from Novichok poisoning on US soil. Trump: #backingthewronghorse.

Utterly revolting scenes in the Oval Office. @ZelenskyyUa tried to tell @realDonaldTrump and the obsequious @JDVance that the US may be shielded from Russian aggression now but they won’t be in the future, and all they could do is berate him. #shameful.

RT @hudson_derek: “You’re in no position to tell us what we’re going to feel.” . This is beyond fucking outrageous. Vance is a cunt, even….

Verification labels on Twitter are utterly meaningless.

Why do companies make it so difficult to contact them? Chat bots may be good for you, they are infuriating and time consuming for customers. If you really care about your customers, display a phone number and use human beings.

For all @realDonaldTrump’s whining about NATO and Europe needing to fend for itself, he would do well to remember that Article 5 has only been invoked once, when the rest of NATO came to the aid of the USA following 9/11.

Someone explain to @realDonaldTrump that VAT is a sales tax, not a tariff. It is charged on most things sold irrespective of their origin. If I buy a widget made in the U.K. or the USA both will have the same level of VAT.

Once again @UPS manages to sod-up a delivery. Literally every single time they cock it up and I have to chase. I never have problems with @FedEx @dhlexpressuk DPD @parcelforce EVRI TNT @AmazonUK. Just UPS that seems incapable of doing the one thing it’s supposed to do.

Can someone clarify if Gaza is intended to be the 52 State? Or is that Greenland? Or Panama?.

I don’t imagine the President’s gym on Air Force One gets much use now, does it?.

What ever happened to Decade 2 @phaidonpress.

that we shouldn’t care about or listen to what the poor have to say, and highlights precisely what is wrong with politics today. It is axiomatic that the rich can look after themselves,… and they do.
