commission in art should make a living, it would cause a boom in the artistic scene
sometimes I think about the microeconomy of commissions and get emotional if only for the fact there are many artists who are able to make a living based on the interest and good will of fellow working class folks who want to indulge in art. I hold onto that when I start to despair.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans.
At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

Bus subsides generally benefit lower-income households, but the (much larger) rail subsidies benefit higher-income households because they are the ones that use them most. Redressing the imbalance between bus and rail subsidies is called for.
