Of all weeks for Cummings to emerge from the dark shadows to convince us we need political fixers like him, the one in which Mandelson was finally brought down?

Sad to report that the Epstein conspiracy theorists have discovered modern art and are shocked that all art isn't Bob Ross and Thomas Kinkade.

This is all a very stupid debate. AI has benefits and many, maybe more, terrible impacts. For artists, I think it's largely terrible. But regardless, the idea that no artists with disabilities did well - ahead of a cancer-suffering Emin opens at Tate- is very stupid.

I was in Rotterdam to visit here, the new National Fotomuseum which opens tomorrow. I'll have some words on it soon at recessed.space, but it's worth going to. It has a great free library and floors of galleries within an historic warehouse.

The Fenix museum of Migration in Rotterdam is huge. A beautiful shell of a warehouse with some really great works on show, but the big open plan approach doesn't help in any way. And the less said about the really annoying big silly by MAD the better, they should have spent that money on some walls.

So glad that Keir Starmer is doing things to help "enhance the UK!s creative industries"... This should help me get a better salary and more security.

This is awful. It's over complicated, and weirdly includes the London Underground logo even though it's the Italian embassy for all of Britain.

Can’t believe Labour are briefing such a poor line, when an obvious response is “why is the party who blocked a local candidate from running because he’s midway through his political term calling a London Assembly member ‘chicken’ for not running to be MP of a constituency 160 miles from his home?”
A Labour spokesperson, responding to Zack Polanski’s interview with Laura Kuenssberg, said: "If [he] thought the Greens had a chance in Gorton and Denton he wouldn't have chickened out standing himself."
This is pretty weak IMO - Polanski is a serving London Assembly member and lives in Hackney...

Thank god that the art market Kapoor soaks himself in is not similarly "deeply entrenched in money and gross capitalism". This seems like a really clever, considered, meaningful response to awful people putting awful things into space.
