Jenny Jones, "Look at the government's plans to actually spy on the bank accounts of those receiving benefits... It really is a new low in this government's constant vile behaviour"
"Never in our history has the government intruded on the privacy of anyone's bank account without any good reason. And now we're treating all people on benefits as potential criminals"
"If MPs think this is a good idea, then why don't we ask them to go first? With all the cases of corruption, second jobs and undeclared incomes, would MPs be ok if the banks had the ability to raise red flags on their accounts? That does seem to make sense doesn't it? Just test the system before we use it on other people"
Wow! - Andy Burnham, "We stood up for people in our region who would otherwise have struggled into lockdown without funds to help them.. Because we took that stand they decided to make an example of us.. They knew Tier 3 didn't work, they knew that, but they were still going to impose it on us without enough financial support" @AndyBurnhamGM #CovidInquiry
Just looked at grade boundaries for the #ALevelResults
2019 217 was an A*
2023 244 was an A*
(Edexcel Maths)
No wonder so many kids didn’t get the grades they were hoping for
4 years of disruption and it was HARDER to do well than pre-pandemic😢
Make that make sense🤷♀️
Kemi Badenoch why don’t you tell the truth & stop this gaslighting crap. This deal is rubbish. We already trade with the majority of the CPTPP except for 2! This trade deal will add 0.08% not even 1% to our GDP!
Are Brexiters honestly this stupid to believe this bullshit?Lord..!
Every morning I’m bowled over by what’s being created and achieved by the artists in this group when I check in to answer their questions….
Women (mainly) being their own boss, helping each other and making their art mean something.

Who’s the best for international deliveries? What paperwork do I need? How do I wrap to prevent damage…? Aaargh😨
Wrapping and shipping your art is possibly one of the most nerve-wracking moments after you celebrate a new sale. It does get easier!

Had a rather magic day today… painting first, and then not one but THREE meet-ups for exciting new projects to uplevel my business.
Have to pinch myself sometimes that it all started in this room, and I’m so thankful for all the wonderful people I’v… https://t.co/iPuph1lgzE
So yes, we all want more confidence… The bad news is that feeling super confidence isn’t a constant state of being. Especially for artists.
When you’re pushing creative boundaries there will always be doubts. But don’t let imposter syndrome stop yo… https://t.co/tgUJMk8FiE
The answers came thick and fast! I was expecting a deluge on “more sales” but confidence coming too doesn’t surprise me.
In the years I’ve been growing my art, from a small table in my spare bedroom to shipping large paintings internationally, finding … https://t.co/0L9aOFLbP1
“Who told you that one paints with colours? One makes use of colours, but paints with emotion.”
These have reached a place where they have a story to tell, teased and hidden in the layers, but today they have reached a resting place.
They seem to almo… https://t.co/edHY4oNMvD

State of deciding… love it when paintings grow on you and you forget where they began.
Gently preparing for Open Studios in June and sending these to my mailing list. Some large, some small. https://t.co/F9ljMRyYpp
That elusive red dot…!
It can be frustrating if your work isn’t selling the way you hoped. It’s easy to slip back to a feeling of slight panic and doubt. Am I good enough?
Even when you do have a sale and a painting is happily off to its new home, … https://t.co/fXu75dkwuF
Making the work is one thing, as an artist we have a LOT to manage…
let’s be real - getting organised is often bottom of the list but this leaves things stuck in limbo as you get easily distracted from what will really make a difference to your art … https://t.co/dqOoOdUYNe
