Devastated at the news @CornwallCouncil has cut all #funding to @Cornwall_Museum 😡😭 As an historian @UniExeCornwall it’s one of our principal archives and a wealth of knowledge is about to be lost to us, and schools and the public Please support RCM!

Deeply depressing & speaks volumes about this political moment. Fostering imagination & empathy isn’t a luxury - it’s frankly the only hope for peaceful coexistence on our one precious planet (And yes, I did study literature & yes, it did change my life) https://t.co/c14LON0FR5
