Labour says Farage needs to explain why he's happy to have sexist as his candidate in Makerfield Anna Turley, the Labour party chair, has also commented on the latest past social media revelations about Robert Kenyon, the Reform UK candidate in Makerfield. (See 12.09pm.) She says Nigel Farage needs to explain why he is happy to have a sexist as a candidate. She says: Nigel Farage needs to urgently explain why he’s happy for a man who proudly admits he’s sexist to represent the people of Makerfield. Robert Kenyon’s comments on women are degrading and an insult to the women and girls who live and work in Makerfield. Nigel Farage needs to stop selecting people with such retrograde views from standing for public office for Reform. Reform UK has been approached for a comment.
“A lot of working-class people, they don’t want a lot,” says Martin, the former miner. “They want enough to get by and to have nicer things in life. To go on holiday and to have good food and things like that. They are not bothered about yachts and aeroplanes – not in my eyes, anyway.

Black and white photo Sony A7Cii Samyang AF 75mm F1.8A 1/15 sec f/5.6 A humanoid figure that looks a bit like a battle droid with ribs, a long craned neck, and a severed arm. It's framed by two pairs of neo-classical columns inside the main hall of the Tate Britain. Tate info card: Jacob Epstein 1880-1959 Torso in Metal from 'The Rock Drill' 1913-15 Bronze Epstein began this sculpture in a period when artists in the Vorticist and Futurist movements were exploring the dynamic artistic potential of mechanisation. The original sculpture, first exhibited alongside works by Vorticist artists at the London Group exhibition of 1915, was a plaster figure mounted on top of a commercial rock drill. He later described it as 'a machine-like robot, visored, menacing, and carrying within itself its progeny... the armed sinister figure of to-day and to-morrow.' After the machines of the First World War killed millions of people, Epstein removed the drill, cut the figure down at the waist and chopped off the left hand and right arm and cast it in bronze. This newly truncated figure now looks more vulnerable, a victim rather than a perpetrator of violence.

Donald Trump (sorry) on Truth Social (sorry): Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners. He will be truly missed. God bless you Scott! (sorry)

I enjoy the way the rectangles and the big 7 played together. I'm very happy the driver chose to park neatly head-on to the building because I don't think the photo would have worked otherwise, although I might try to get neatly 180° behind the car if I tried this again.

The back end of a white BMW Z4. It's in front of a wall, the top part of which is white corugated iron, the bottom of which is blue concrete. The wall has a rolling shutter that's a darker blue. There's a big numeral 7 in the top left corner. The photo was taken square to the wall and perspective has been corrected so the shapes are neat and lines parallel.

An abstract composition in acrylics of various consistencies (string gel, ink, pouring medium, and spray paint) on a 30cm square wooden board with transparent gesso. A mix of straight lines and flat brush strokes, drips, and splashes. Two points of perspective are imposed on one another, inspired by a double-exposure photograph. Most of the painting is black and white, but the wood background shows through and there are some gold and copper metallics and burnt umber in there too.
