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

Feb 2020: £1.791tn, 79.1% 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

Well blow me down!
Rishi Sunak's main election strategist Isaac Levido is also a very highly paid lobbyist for Palantir, the dodgy US firm owned by a far-right billionaire that"s just been given a huge NHS data contract.
Small world, isn't it?

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

To mark #IndigenousPeoplesDay in the US here is the story of Oceola Nikkanochee, a Native American prince who was captured and then brought to England for safety.
He became a popular student at Mill Hill School where he became a vegetarian before heading to sea

#DYK that Indigenous North Americans were in Plymouth, England, 25 years before the Mayflower sailed? Together with @JoLoosemore, we created a walking tour to amplify stories of Indigenous North American travellers to the city over the past 425 years. bit.ly/3hE1DSR
