Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.

a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

You have a pure heart. I immediately thought 'fudge parade' must be some sort of sex thing.

Just looking through an old list of ideas for paintings I'd jotted down and one just says 'Fudge parade'. No idea what that was about.

Billionaire brothers who backed Tories give Reform Β£100k
Oliver Wright

Extracts

Britain's
second-richest family have
begun giving money to Reform UK after years of supporting the Conservatives.
A company linked to the property tycoons David and Simon Reuben donated Β£100,000 to Nigel Farage's party the first time the brothers have given to any party other than the Tories.
Reform has also received Β£3 million from Christopher Harborne, 63, an entrepreneur who now lives in Thai-land, adding to the ty million he gave in August. At the time, that was the biggest single donation to a UK political party by a living donor.
In the last quarter of last year, Reform received more than Β£5.4 million in do-nations, the Conservatives were given Β£2.4 million and Labour received
Β£1.9 million.
The Reuben brothers - David, 87, and Simon, 84, who own property including Millbank Tower and Admiralty Arch in London β€” have donated almost El million to the Conservative Party since 2008. They also supported Boris Johnson after he left No 10, giving him office space worth Β£85,000. Their family wealth was put at Β£26.87 billion in The Sunday Times Rich List last year.
Reform UK has its headquarters in Millbank Tower, but it is not known whether the brothers donation linked to reduced rent payments.

Other Reform donors include David
John Grainger, the co-founder of a biotech firm, and Gary Dutton, a double glazing entrepreneur, who both gave the party Β£250,000.
Reform also received Β£100,000 from Isabel Goldsmith, sister of the former Tory minister Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park. Her father, Sir James Gold-smith, was seen as the godfather of British Euroscepticism.
For the second quarter in a row Lord Bamford, the chairman of JCB, gave Β£200,000 each to the Conservatives and Reform. At the time of his first do-nation, the company said he was "sup-portive of pro-business political parties that create the conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper".

More billionaire cash bankrolling Reform.
JCB’s chairman, Bamford, said he was β€œsupportive of pro-business political parties that create conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper."

Reform wants to repeal the Equality Act.
Prosperity for them means loss of rights and pay for us.

it's cool that i keep seeing clips from congresspeople coming out of the classified briefing being like "oh uh so it's worse than we thought, can't say why, but it's bad-bad and no one knows what they're doing" 🫠

Alex Horne: This week’s prize task is the best *woven* thing. We’ll start with Arachne.

Arachne: Well, I dare say I smashed this one. Honestly, better than anything you could weave, I reckon.

Greg Davies: It really makes my job so easy when they volunteer for one point.

Had my first neg feedback on a painting in >40 years and it's sent me into a spiral where I can’t finish it because I’m afraid if I pick up the brushes I’ll stab them into my skull like a game of KerPlunk. But I can’t work on anything else until it's finished. Thinking of burning it so it’s β€˜done'.

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."
