I’ve made a short film about artist Geoff Hands. The film explores his psycho-geographic drawing practice and how his work evolves into richly textured paintings. Watch here 👉Meet the Artist - Geoff Hands youtu.be/AfO4lL4TIHA?si=ZCYa… via @YouTube

Spent a day at Hum2n, a longevity clinic in Chelsea, photographing cutting-edge anti-aging treatments - IV infusions, oxygen therapy, stem cell treatments & more. A fascinating shoot for this week’s Telegraph Luxury: telegraph.co.uk/health-fitne…

Please pay attention ⁦@BrightonHoveCC⁩ - fears children will have to travel miles to school - enacting these proposals will have serious adverse effects, break up established communities and lead to more traffic and pollution. bbc.com/news/articles/cj9jkv…

Starmer must be relieved. I can’t imagine the @Conservatives winning the next General Election with Badenoch or Jenrick as Leader. Perhaps it’s part of a plan to reinstate Johnson in the not too distant future, is this what his current book tour is all about?

I’m with you Keir, I prefer landscapes too. I wouldn’t want a massive portrait of anyone, let alone Thatcher, staring down at me whilst I was trying to work.

Beautiful moment in the @RestIsPolitics Leading interview with @lisanandy on speaking to Danny Boyle on the Olympics “…that country is still there, it’s just waiting for someone to give voice to it and that is your job…” open.spotify.com/episode/1GA…

If you were ever in any doubt… Former Tory minister vows to vote Labour over party’s climate failure - he accused the prime minister of breaking the consensus of the past on climate action to “seek division and polarisation.” theguardian.com/politics/art…

The half a billion pounds the Tories have spent on the Rwanda scheme so far would have covered last year's cuts to adult social care. Twice over.

A selection of work from ‘The Prospect of Immortality’ is included in a group exhibition - ‘The New Immortals’ -  at the University of Sussex. I'll be taking part in a symposium on Saturday 27 April. The event is free, but booking is essential: ticketsource.co.uk/bsms/t-vv…

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more talk about this, the last 18 months have been the wettest since 1836 when the MET Office started collecting data - ‘Farmers warn ‘crisis is building’ as record rainfall drastically reduces UK food production’ theguardian.com/environment/…

Unbelievable that no senior Conservative can call out Lee Anderson’s comments as Islamophobic. It’s disgusting. And it shows how weak @RishiSunak is. Shame on you @OliverDowden @Mark_J_Harper
