A show of photographs and Pop art-inspired prints by the Catholic nun Corita Kent displays the artist’s fun side but plays down her political fervour, writes @cfbennett2

How will Paris cope without the Pompidou Centre? As the museum prepares to close for five years from 2025, @cfbennett2 reports on the growing disquiet about its general direction and the hole it will leave in the city’s arts scene.

Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

BientÎt fin de suspens du plus long sketch. On ne sera pas déçu. 2,5 mois aprÚs le succÚs surprise de la gauche, on gagne un gouvernement hyper de droite, bien garni en super tocards, avec des réac, des revenants, des magouilleurs. Tout ça pour continuer à gaver les ultra riches.

En tant que femmes, je ne sais pas comment on va se remettre collectivement du procĂšs #Mazan . Tout est absolument horrible et terrifiant. Aucune d'entre nous ne semble ĂȘtre en sĂ©curitĂ© nulle part. Nous le savions dĂ©jĂ , mais chaque rappel de cette rĂ©alitĂ© est insupportable.

French politics seems to have entered a parallel universe. Why on earth is Edouard Philippe announcing his candidacy for the *2027* election today? There might be 3 more elections before then and we have no PM right now! Plus no-one cares about him. Utterly weird.

Si la macronnie sauve les meubles ce soir, c'est massivement grùce aux électeurs et électrices du NFP. Moins de 1 électeur Ensemble sur 2 a voté NFP dans les duels contre le RN. C'est 72% dans le cas contraire.
