Great news - and what about freedom of movement for touring musicians, actors and others who lost their freedom to live and work in Europe?

The Youth Mobility (EU Countries) Bill has just passed its first reading.
No opposition voiced by the govt. your thousands of emails stopped them shutting it down.
Well done @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social on a superb speech. 👏👏👏

Currently nosing through this astonishing book, a present from my brother, Kevin. Marie was looking with me, seeing Killip’s photos for the first time - the working classes as figures of power, defiance and a weird heroic dignity - and quite accurately described him as “the anti Martin Parr”.
