So happy with how these glass ornaments turned out. I usually make jewellery but now and again I do stuff like this. Handmade glass snowdrop fox and hare plaque ornaments. They'll be available next weekend. Made by me in my glass studio in Staffordshire.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social a reminder. Because apparently you need it.

A picture describing my past week... 😂😂😂 But I've been heard in all the right places. Possibly something else to come too!

Sky News invited me to record a voice note on the disability welfare reforms for their Electoral Dysfunction podcast. Featuring Harriet Harman, Beth Rigby & Ruth Davidson. And so I did, segment starts 4mins 30 in...

Love to EVERY disabled person right now.

You are valid.
You matter.

Please keep some hope that we can fight this. I’m definitely not shutting up any time soon.

Take some time to yourself and do something that brings you love & joy.

You deserve to be here.

Reading The Times report on speculated PIP cuts, I’m struck by not only how many people will lose vital support but how much we are already degraded to qualify. Have a stranger ask you how you wash “below the waist” and then tell us how easy it is to claim disability benefits.

I had a great glass kiln firing with no sacrifices to the Kiln Gods! Some will be made into jewellery, some into ornaments. Once I've done that I will photograph them & make them available. Probably within the next fortnight as I'm knackered & it's only me doing it 😂

I just got told to "get a job" by a troll because I mentioned I was on PIP on a thread. The sheer joy in telling them I actually had one & was self-employed was fab! 😂

PIP is *not* an out of work benefit, it covers the extra costs that disability brings of which there can be many.

AAAAAAAAAAAARGH! WILL THE MEDIA STOP MENTIONING PIP WHEN TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE BEING OUT OF WORK DUE TO ILL HEALTH! IT IS ***NOT*** AN OUT OF WORK BENEFIT!!!!! It bloody well helps people keep the jobs that they have already!!!!!!
Thank you for listening, I needed to get that out.

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

I'm so very done with Labour. To think that I was once a member a few years back.

In trying to be everything to everyone they've become nothing to all. Everyone hates them now, I don't know who they're trying to appeal to as I don't think many are impressed!

Rachel Reeves during the election ruled out a wealth tax on the super rich as she said their spending plans didn't need the money.

People with extreme disabilities unfit to work this Labour Government think are apparently not in need of the money.

It's sick.

*Work in progress* I think I'm finally getting nearer to doing what I wish to do with ceramic jewellery. These were my first goes with using underglaze, and after their bisque firing. They now need covering in clear glaze, and another firing, I've yet to learn that bit!

Regular reminder that there is no reason Labour has to “eye billions of pounds in welfare and other cuts”. It’s more than possible to raise cash with targeted wealth taxes. Austerity is a choice and it’s a choice no matter what colour party is in power.

I wonder what these welfare cuts are going to be, & how Draconian? Are they going to click that PIP is also an in-work benefit? If you reduce it you could be actually stopping people from getting to jobs they already have? Taking away motability cars, bus passes etc, some electric wheelchairs etc.

All metal is sterling silver in these. Handmade by me in my glass studio in Staffordshire, UK.
