More woodcut posting - I really love the driving wind and rain in this one from Hiroshige:

I can heartily recommend York Art Gallery's exhibition on Japanese woodcut prints - here's a detail from one of my favourites, with an angry turtle brandishing a sword

This column seems like fluff, but it doesn't? The first sentence mentioning "old-school Blairite" hopes is referring to Burnham and Purnell - the next calls Mahmood someone the "Labour right" find agreeable, all in the context of Labour factions projecting their own hopes onto Burnham

Old-school Blairites are seeing one of their own, given Burnham’s hinterland and his announcement of James Purnell as his chief of staff. The Labour right is taking heart from the rumours of Shabana Mahmood as chancellor, and Josh Simons’ role in the policy team.

pretty much every "discover the networks" thing ends up like this

a still from the Simpsons, with Milhouse in front of a blackboard. He is outlining the fiendish plot by The Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires to forcing parents to go to bed early to eliminate the meal of dinner.

I didn't get my camera out quick enough to catch all of it, but you can see here the end of an attempt by the far-right to break through the cordon to try to start assaulting people:

Good to see so many people out, and the far-right contained:

As part of my ongoing war to steer things away from Tedious Food Discourse, it would be great to see haggis used in really good Mexican food - it works well enough with what we have here, but I don't think the existing examples have managed "haggis pakora" level fusion, for various reasons

This is genuinely terrible reporting from the Scottish part of the BBC's "at a glance" summary, a mix of misleading statements and flat out errors: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Scottish Green Party's vote share has been far lower but more concentrated than Labour's, translating into two constituency seats, ousting SNP minister Angus Robertson in Edinburgh and taking former SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon's old constituency in Glasgow.

Reform UK - which currently has no representation in Holyrood - has now taken five constituencies, having pinned its hopes to seats allocated from the regional list.

The Liberal Democrats and Conservatives are a distant second and third, although the Liberals lost the party's traditional stronghold seat of Shetland to the Scottish nationalists.

Scottish Labour has taken Na h-Eileanan an Iar and Edinburgh Southern from the SNP, but leader Anas Sarwar says his party has lost the "argument for change" amid a "national wave" of disappointment for Labour, which has picked up about 20% of the total seats.

You could even get cute with it and have a nature scene representing a famous poet or author, as with the old Clydesdale £5 note:

Especially since in the very same paragraph of her victory speech talking about this, Spencer remarks that people unable to work should also have a nice life.
