In one short Budget intervention, thundered Labour lay preacher Gordon Brown, Rachel Reeves did more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of seven Conservative predecessors who, over 14 grim years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable kids.

Worth remembering that when you’re humming the greatest Stone Roses songs - Resurrection, Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored - you are humming Mani’s bass melody. Not Squire, not Brown, but the bass line

Terrible news

Hey Bluesky, my better half @gailmyerscough.co.uk has had a heck of a lot to deal with this year. She’s also a bit down because she hasn’t sold much recently. Please visit her site www.gailmyerscough.co.uk and have a look at her amazing designs. Thank you for reading, much appreciated xx

I recently picked myself up a bunch of new t shirts. Very impressed with the designs and the quality and the thoughtful customer service (all of which tend to be lacking with most online purchases these days).
Would recommend if you're looking for something a cut above the rest.
What the husband @mjowen174.bsky.social says is true.
It’s been a bit quiet in my shop lately.
If you’re looking for #Christmas cards and gifts please have a look at my website.

A repost would be lovely too.

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.

So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.
