Did you know that 8 million egg laying hens in the UK are still confined in cages? If you want UK egg production to be 100% cage-free, join me today and email the new Secretary of State at Defra. #banhencages bit.ly/EndHenCages

UK public debt:
Oct 2023: £2,64trn, 97.8% of GDP
Feb 2020: £1.791tn, 79.1% of GDP
May 2010: £1.03tn, 65% of GDP
Tories borrowed more than all Labour Govts combined.
Squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich, contracts for cronies.
No new industries.
Public services destroyed

So exciting that “Empowering Art: Indigenous Creativity and Activism from North America’s Northwest Coast” has opened at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Art (@SainsburyCentre). This exhibition stems from the work we did with Sonny Assu at the SCVA in 2019. 1/2
Thanks to @JFearSegal for these photos from the opening. Haa’yuups with director, Jago Cooper 2/2
