We think youth clubs and coffee mornings and your local community centre can do as much public good as museums and art galleries. So why aren't they also eligible for a VAT refund? We want to change that. Add your name if you do too. party.coop/campaign/vat...

Take VAT off Community Buildings
From youth clubs in the village hall to coffee mornings in the community centre, these are the building blocks of a strong community. They wouldn't be possible without the dedication of volunteers, the support of locals and of course – the community buildings and spaces that make it all possible.

I don’t want to hear another damn word that women are too emotional and are not fit to lead. While growing up I was told that women cannot attain enlightenment because of our menstrual cycles. POTUS throws ketchup at the wall and rage posts late into the night. #Pinks

And now for something completely different..
Lars Lerin, Swedish, b. 1954
At Home, 2011
Watercolor on paper
100 × 150 cm
A man sits quietly in the filtered light of a veranda, cradling a cat in his arms—an image rendered with restraint and tenderness in this large-scale watercolor by Lars Lerin. At Home exemplifies Lerin’s ability to draw intimacy from stillness. His layered washes and softened contours evoke not only the warmth of light on a wooden interior, but the deeper, emotional texture of solitude shared.



One of Sweden’s most esteemed contemporary artists, Lerin is widely celebrated for his mastery of watercolor and his meditative, often autobiographical depictions of Northern domesticity and landscape. A prolific author and television figure, his reputation is grounded in the quiet integrity of works like this—where silence, affection, and time itself seem to settle visibly onto paper.

Can’t say I’m surprised that Idaho murderer Wess Roley, the shooter who lured firefighters into an ambush, comes from a set of MAGA parents who were seen posing with their MAGA hats as well as posing with him as a young boy wielding rifles. Still not a Drag Queen or an immigrant.
