EXCLUSIVE: Candidate countries will be offered unprecedented “gradual integration” into the EU’s single market, according to a draft European Commission proposal. But the benefits could be taken away if non-members backslide on democracy, the plan says. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/ursu...

So my skull and crossbones pirate design on Redbubble has been taken down because an anime company use it in one of their shows. Mine was based on an 18th century flag.Second time this has happened.The first time I used the star name Antares which is also an anime character.I don't do anime designs.

The trees in Monet's Poplars were auctioned off for timber while he was still painting them. Rather than lose the motif, he struck a deal with the buyer: a share of the cost, on condition the poplars stayed standing a few months more.

Kneeling Young Man, 1908 botfrens.com/collections/88/content…

Egon Schiele's "Kneeling Young Man" showcases his distinctive approach to the human form, emphasizing expressive gestures and elongated lines characteristic of his style. Created in 1908, this work reflects his exploration of raw emotion and vulnerability, often pushing the boundaries of conventional realism.

The pension triple lock is out, and a National Social Care service is planned. What I once thought was a do-not-touch subject was manhandled by Andy Burnham - but will the risk pay off? After a very optimistic, being honest, brilliantly delivered speech, is there a bit of room for hope again?

Trading the Triple Lock for a National Care Service

A bold, brave and deeply unpopular choice, and why someone who spent years stuck on discharge calls is cautiously on board.

President Macron, "Brexit has cost the UK 8% of GDP.. Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years" My view: Brexit was sold as a route to greater prosperity: less bureaucracy, more money, new trade opportunities Instead, Britain put new barriers between itself and its largest trading market.

When i rag on the newspapers, people often say "who even reads the newspapers anymore tho!!?" Talk-TV producers. Then they give them to their presenters, who are - right now - using exclusively right-wing titles as their teleprompter.

What Newsnight should have taken away was that it shouldn't adopt tabloid narratives unquestioningly and made the appropriate correction. What it did instead was to report the correction as if it were gossip and go "OOOOOH! THEY'RE VERY SENSITIVE!" What? To accuracy? You used to be, too, BBC.
