I’m a curator. I go fly fishing and I sometimes write about it.

Very pleased to say that tickets for the #crowntocouture conference can now be bought!! It’s a wonderful lineup mixing both academia, performance and fashion world professionals.

How wonderful that the people of Birmingham and beyond have such a wonderful collection to enjoy.
A BBC investigation's found the City Council owns a collection valued at £451 million. Listen to our special report.

The daft thing is, we’ve been worrying about the wrong kind of immigration. Allowing the international super rich to buy vast swathes of London and the South East, as housing became unaffordable for everyone else, that was the real mistake.

Give this guy an OBE!
Spare a thought for Tony Hill who has been working at break neck speed in blazing hot sun to rebuild the Southport mosque wall before the far right can return. He said: “And if we have to build it again afterwards we will do just that.”

Amazing woman. What a choice to have made!
Physicist awarded doctorate 75 years after her groundbreaking discovery, which predicted the discovery of particles including the Higgs Boson. She gave up her PhD to get married and care for her 3 children. What a woman.

All these men commenting on women’s fashion choices. It’s such a privileged take. A man just needs to wear a suit and tie and as long as it’s not ginormous or skimpy it’s fine. If I had just got a cabinet position damn right I’d wear something a bit spenny

Ukraine’s ongoing fight against Russian aggression matters to all of us. The UK’s support remains unshakable. I look forward to seeing President @ZelenskyyUa soon.
I was pleased to speak with @Keir_Starmer on the day of his appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. I congratulated Sir Keir Starmer on his election victory and wished him success in fulfilling the British people's expectations of the new government. I am grateful

Key chart to keep in mind as the Conservatives suffer their worst ever defeat: The Tories didn’t lose this election because they were too right wing on some issues or too left wing on others. They lost because voters of all stripes judged them to be incompetent and dishonest.

Remembering my father who would get cross at the exit poll guys “I will certainly not tell you how I voted. People died for my right to an anonymous vote and by asking me you are denying me that hard fought privilege”
