As winter descends on the UK it might help to know that there's still floral colour to be found throughout the winter. There are a small group of plants that lift my spirits between now & February-here are a few of them (& my illustrations alongside):

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

According to multiple sources this afternoon, in Parliament, Liz Kendall will announce ‘concessions’ on the welfare bill.
Do not clap.
These aren’t concessions.
This isn’t compassion.
It’s a PR fudge to mask cuts that will devastate lives.

STOP.
One of the THREE reasons the reasoned amendment exists is because Labour MPs didn’t consult with disabled people.
Don’t “fix” this by making DIFFERENT decisions about us without consulting us.
That’s literally doing the same thing twice.

It was sobering to catch up with Debbie from St Ann's Advice Centre last week.
We discussed the devasting impact that disability benefit cuts would have on our community.
Hearing the harrowing stories of disabled service users underlined why these cuts must be opposed.
