To the #LeeMiller exhibition today. She was truly pioneering at a time when photography struggled to be recognised as an art form. Beautifully created @tate.bsky.social Tate Britain.

It’s almost crunch time. Next week Peers will vote for or against swift bricks. To help swifts, please email steve.reed.mp@parliament.uk & james.cleverly.mp@parliament.uk who are crucial to the decision. Ask them to SAVE OUR SWIFTS ‼️put SWIFT BRICKS in the subject line 🙏
