This was my first time painting in only black & white, no color at all."

@BloomsburyBooks, to coverup the @OPCW #Douma controversy, promote US and UK gov. war narratives, and whitewash fraudulent conduct within the OPCW, is an exercise in deception through omission. @BloomsburyPub @Tim_Hayward_

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
