Even leaving aside the ridiculous idea of the Labour Party as radically left-wing, the Express is run by people who think Russia is a communist country????
I suppose we should be grateful as that's probably why Ukraine is getting support from the right 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's LeonoraCarrington's birthday, so here's something I wrote about the 1936 Surrealist Exhibition in London where the 19 year old Leonora met many of the leaders of the movement and became a Surrealist herself:
