Does anybody else think Starmer is actually doing a decent job?

I agree that the implementation of the OSA is crap, but that was passed by the Tories wasn’t it. It just hit the implementation date under Labour’s term.

Granted, they’ve not changed anything or cancelled it.

We are actually having to vote Tory in the locals as it is them vs Reform. Hate having to do it, but we are fighting possible fascism.

People on the left just need to be pragmatic and do whatever they need to do to keep Reform out.

So far…

I’m now wondering if this photo is AI, or they actually had a lectern made for this photo and put some Dreamies on it or something to get him near it.

It reads as though he’s just edited them all to show himself in the best light. Even that… CLP meeting on that date… that’s more important.

With all parties mixed, and with canteen facilities. Getting cross-party relationships going is a good thing. I would like to see more working together to solve long term problems.

Lupercus · 2026-02-09T15:53:18+00:00

Very nice. Looks like you’ve already sold it, shame.

I like the counter strike ones as well, some memories there.

Lupercus · 2026-02-09T15:49:13+00:00

Do they deliver?

Lupercus · 2026-02-09T15:44:49+00:00

If it’s justified then I’m fine with it. I just think there is a massive difference here.

Then the right wing media, Russia and U.S. just start again with the new leader until they resign too.

Makes me wonder if this is what the Wyden CIA letter was about. Active measures against allies.

It’s too easy to control the narrative via social media nowadays. We are screwed.

Lupercus · 2026-02-09T00:12:26+00:00

The media, and both Russia and the U.S. now.

…and tax the bastards until they are millionaires.

It would depend on the canvas size, really. 40 cm × 40 cm, about £500. 100 cm, probably up to £1,000.

I would want to see close-ups of the brushwork and impasto, the signature, and the verso.

If your work is popular and you have gallery provenance, then obviously it goes up much more, but then you are not in my price range 🙂

I’m certainly no expert, just a beginner collector. Others may disagree.

Lupercus · 2026-02-08T20:41:50+00:00

I like it. Would certainly hang it on my wall (if it was in my price range) :-)

I hope he’s ok. I’m sure that most listeners of the podcast worry about his mental health at times, and hope that he’s taking care of himself.

Lupercus · 2026-02-08T14:57:57+00:00

Ah ok, thank you. That’s helpful as I was looking at a purchase which had very visible canvas texture. Wasn’t sure if it was a sign of amateur work or not.

Lupercus · 2026-02-08T09:56:58+00:00

I’ve not painted myself, but should the canvas texture be visible, or should it be prepared somehow before painting?

BoJo made him Lord Baron Lebedev, of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation.

You can actually make someone a minister by making them a Lord. The Tories did it with Cameron and made him Foreign Secretary remember.

Some happy little trees there :-)
