Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”

Good discussions yesterday about a possible three month exhibition for 2027 which if it comes off is going to be very special. More when it is firmed up.

BREAKING: Nathan Gill is sentenced to 10 & a half years in prison after pleading guilty to eight charges of bribery from a Russian agent.
The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.

I suspect the real reason is to prevent juries from voting with their conscience to acquit climate and peace activists who are being prosecuted for exercising their right to peaceful protest.
MoJ to remove right to trial by jury for thousands of cases in controversial overhaul

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Today I’ll be doing the first proper day of photography for the Outsiders project since 2022, focusing on long term street homelessness and tent encampments.
