👌 Pitch perfect interview by my Assembly colleague @zackpolanski.bsky.social calmly answering every question.
Especially loved his answer on why wearing both a red and a white poppy too.

I think UK Labour has started to worry more about Zack Polanski than Nigel Farage.

Columbia Road Flower Market goes back to 1869. It served the old local French Huguenot population who were keen on cut flowers, they were also keen on caged song birds too, and one of the streets pubs is still called ‘The Birdcage’ as an echo of this time.

In this video I am visting Dittisham in Devon. It is situated near the mouth of the River Dart , a fine ancient fishing port and real treat for painter and tourist alike. Enjoy.

Somewhat later than intended, here's our "usual" start to #SaturdayMorning: this is "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. It was owned by Sir David Scott & it was sold at Sotheby's in November 2008, with the rest of his collection, to raise funds for the Finnis Scott Foundation. #BrynhildParker

This is "The Red Hut" by Harold Steggles from 1931. I believe that it was possibly painted in Thorndon Park at Warley. Along with a wide selection of ELG images, this one is available as a card or print here:- www.eastlondongroup.co.uk #HaroldSteggles #EastLondonGroup

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.
The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.
That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.
