They all offer a range of tariffs, from cheap deals to ones that help you go green, but it’s fair to say that six of them in particular dominate the energy market.

		<description><![CDATA[Gerhard Richer&#8217;s exhibition at Tate Modern: Panorama, rather than the communist manifesto. However, after looking at the blurred images, dragged paint, glass and mirrors you are left with a definite sense of everything melting if not actually into air.
First thoughts on exiting: everything is hazy, unfocused and smudged. It is as if Richter is uncommitted [...]]]></description>

If this is true and the myth and what it means to be a great artist changes, will we see hoardes of troubled artists baiting &#8216;gangsta&#8217; [...]]]></description>

Descibed on Newsnight&#8217;s Late Review last week as a painter&#8217;s painter, my immediate reaction to this is &#8216;Yes&#8217;. I&#8217;ve always admired his technique and ability to use photo-realism to make documentary-like [...]]]></description>
