There’s a lovely new exhibition at the V&A Museum in London that aims to inspire kids through the aesthetics of #Egyptology — Having cowritten my own children’s book about Ancient Egypt with Dr Campbell Price, I spoke to the exhibition’s curator, Benjamin Hinson, for this month’s V&A magazine

Starmer trying to be Trump's friend is absolutely doomed. There's nothing to be gained by tying yourself to a man who has no understanding of loyalty.

I should clarify that I'm not a policy advisor for world governments, but shouldn't we all just stop selling stuff to the USA and instead sell it to each other?

None of this is real money though is it? All these billionaires... It's all just made up figures. There one minute, gone the next, back again the minute after. The tragedy is that our pensions are tied to all this bullshit.
