Kurt died peacefully tonight after a stomach condition that developed rapidly and catastrophically. If I don't respond to messages, don't regard me as rude - I'm simply too sad. He was a delight for the five years I knew him.

Anyone know the political leanings of the person who took a picture of Diane Abbott harmlessly enjoying a G&T on the Tube? Odd but I can't remember Boris Johnson's fans getting outraged by the photographer's actions.

OK. Can anyone with a knowledge of urban history or architecture suggest why this door in a garden wall in Hackney is so much smaller than other doors nearby and what the meaning of the caldron-shaped brickwork above might be?
