A lot of 18th century portraits are slop but occasionally you come across a gem like this. The patron paid good money to paint his daughter bothering him with a barbie

Bizarre. The leakiest budget I've ever known, and now the OBR report has been accidentally published online - 30min+ before the Chancellor was due to announce the budget It confirms the govt will scrap the 2-child cap on benefits, long been called for by campaigners

President @realDonaldTrump can make this happen and change the lives of millions of Americans with cancer. The Cancer Moonshot went nowhere with the past administration but could succeed with President Trump's decisive action today. AMERICAN FIRST.
