Nomi from the Cold Light set of photos on the Draw site @drawonline.bsky.social did a few of these in charcoal and this is the one I felt caught Nomi’ pose the best. Going to try stitching a portrait of her next.

Some shit never changes. He barely bothered to turn up as an MEP, barely bothers now he’s an MP. Can’t say he’s not consistent when it comes to lying, misuse of power, using his status to collab with the far right and his shameless dedication to conning taxpayers out of their hard earned money.

Farage missed a debate on the biggest reset to the EU since Brexit because… he’s on holiday. Does he think he’s an MEP again? He’s made NINE trips abroad (eight to the US) since the GE, many funded by donors, some for other paid jobs. Recess is next week. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Gary Lineker is a good man, a national treasure, a role model. Being forced out of MOTD because he’s horrified by war criminals murdering kids (in a war the BBC refuses to cover without fear or favour) is enraging. The BBC allows free speech, but only if you’re right wing.
