@RichardParkins5 I should have identified @eloquentpeasant for those who didn't read @maevesthher's article - https://t.co/yaCh8ROp81

@RichardParkins5 Well done, Margaret Maitland. Museums aren't just warehouses of objects. They need curators to research and reveal the histories that objects can tell.

@1642Author Here's the @britishmuseum catalogue entry for the drawing https://t.co/sJNiM5HRH3 Rupert was also one of the first to make mezzotint prints. This is his greatest print "The 'Great Executioner" holding the head of John the Baptist https://t.co/rLlfhtsMpW

Article by Lord Dubs is worth reading as a reminder to help people who need help.
I came to the UK after fleeing Nazis. Government hostility towards today

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak this Christmas so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.

Please can you take a few seconds to help by following us and retweeting this?

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the Eu aren't I?

@arthistorynews By charging, museums lose out on publicising collections. Authors reproduce prints in collections that don't charge. Who would know from recent books that @britishmuseum has great collections of prints by Durer, Rembrandt, Gillray, etc.?

Taking tents away from rough sleepers - and punishing charities who give those tents out? What a cruel idea. It won't fix homelessness. It'll just make people's lives harder. Shame on you @SuellaBraverman. Sign now to get these plans scrapped: https://t.co/wKpuW9G8x3

[Sheila O'Connell @SOCSheila]

@sarah_____j Agreed. And look who is sitting behind him - just saying.

Did you know that the UK Government has abandoned its promise to consult on cages for farmed animals?
Will you join me and tell Therese Coffey we want to end this cruel suffering now? #Endthecageage

I’ve posted this painting before over the years because no-one really knows what’s going on, but everyone seems to have a firm view about it! So, is she waving to the spectral child outside, or warning her, or maybe something else? ~ Vrel's mysterious ‘Woman at a Window’ (1650)
