I repeat: the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has blocked the simplest biodiversity measure *ever* that without, leaves the most epic birds - swifts- without ANY guaranteed nesting habitat in Britain.

How incredible are these stunning portraits of the #LondonTide cast 😍

Beautifully painted by actor and artist, Rufus Gerrard-Wright, AKA Mortimer Lightwood in London Tide.

London Tide is playing in the #LytteltonTheatre until 22 June.
