Enough. F***ing enough. And what’s needed isn’t an imposed Devonwall devolution enforcing centralised housing plans, but genuine Cornish devolution with control of planning. There’s not a shortage of houses in Cornwall / there’s a misappropriation.

"We are reviewing the curriculum to put arts and music back at the heart of the national curriculum where it belongs." - Lisa Nandy MP
We welcome the Culture Secretary's commitment to arts education. Meaningful reform is urgently needed to reverse years of decline.

“The arts are not the cherry on the cake — they are the cake.” 🎂
Opening a debate in the House of Lords earlier this year, Melvyn Bragg said the UK should realise the full potential of the arts to transform our economy and society.

I feel quite sad about John Prescott’s death partly as Hull girl, and partly because he was smart in a way we don’t appreciate as much as we should. He had the piss taken out of him relentlessly for being thick & uneducated. He was often underestimated #johnprescott

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Had a rather lovely few days in #thatlondon working with VitalXposure, on their Labs programme as researcher, developing captioning for those with #ESOL #d/Deaf and hard of hearing. Beautiful piece in English and Punjabi
