Queen of Hearts (Solitaire) is a 1928 Art Deco oil painting by Danish artist Gerda Wegener. The painting shows Lili Elbe sitting on a chair, surrounded by playing cards and holding a cigarette in her mouth. She wears a short, bright red dress, with part of her slip visible and her bare legs crossed. In her right hand, she holds the Queen of Hearts card.

Who is Count Binface - the alien warrior of British politics?
In a week when the race to become Britain’s next prime minister is effectively a one-horse race, there seems to be more suspense in another contest pitting Brexit champion Nigel Farage against a comedian going viral online. Is this a joke too far for Brits and their famous sense of humour?

Once again today we see who Farage really is, and what Reform really stands for. A leader who bends over backwards for billionaire donors, politicians using the Trumpian playbook, a party swimming in a sea of corruption. Britain deserves so much better than this.
