Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Was in Florencevfor a few days, went to see Michaelangelos David, which was amazing, but also very taken with this exquisite embroidery, hidden on the top floor that so few people seemed to visit. Signed and dated 1336, this photo is just a fragment. #embroidery #art

A pair of hanging owls #pottery #ceramics

Two new textured pots out of the kiln, really happy with the glaze. #pottery #ceramics

Two events at the studios in Stoke on Trent where I make my pottery pieces

Multi sectional dish, about 8" across. Already on its way to a friend. Love the effect from layering glazes

Also out of the kiln, this set of pots which unfortunately had a coming together of glaze and kiln shelf. Still functional though. #pottery #ceramics #glazes

Kiln opening day yesterday. Pleased with this haul #pottery #ceramics #glazes

We're 300 followers away from 70,000. 300 more would be really nice. But you know what would be even better? 300 plus 30,000. Bluesky: help a museum out

The Movers & Shakers are taking over our channels! We need to get the #parkypetition100k over the finish line – but we need your help. Join us in getting those final few thousand signatures – it’s time to make Parkinson’s impossible to ignore. Read more: buff.ly/2zazRYA

Next week, thousands will gather in Westminster. To say: enough. Enough nature lost. Enough polluted rivers, soaring bills, & communities left to struggle. We’re calling for action that protects what matters: our health, climate, wildlife, & each other. Will you stand with us? buff.ly/ky8GQDZ

This!

A nice few days away in Bristol. A great city to visit

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... Come on folks, the #parkypetition is in danger of falling behind the run rate - we need c650 signatures a day if we’re to hit our 100k target by September 10 and today we’ve only done about 500. Let’s have a big push to get above 46,000 tonight

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... Please read and consider signing this petition to get more support for suffers of parkinsons, such a horrible disease

New petition: "Raise the personal tax allowance to £13750" Deadline 10 September 2025, created by Taylor Warrington #NewPetition

Don't take it from me. Take it from the government's own assessment: Everything Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have said about nature protection blocking house building is big fat shining lie. A lie now being locked into legislation before Parliament. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

You know it must be #WorldPenguinDay if we're posting our Book Penguin made of Penguin Books. 🐧

Enjoyed doing this block print picture, it's 1m x 1m #blockprinting

“Starmer must not trade away our food standards as part of tariff negotiations. We are as indignant about American animal welfare as JDVance seems to be about the control of anti-abortion demonstrations outside UK clinics” So many reasons to focus on the EU, not the US. Letter of the week The Week

Exhibition day. Small cat themed exhibition I entered two pieces in. Pleased with how they were received

Breaking now: Ministry of Economics reporting the tariffs have not caused significant changes to our trading volumes

URGENT - there are growing concerns that the NHS will be included in trade talks with Trump 🚨 EveryDoctor has set up a way to tell Keir Starmer within seconds that you do not want this. Please click here, and then share! bit.ly/TellKeir

A lovely afternoon in the sun at the Peak Wildlife Park #redpanda

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." 1984 - George Orwell

Spent Friday watching and snapping kingfishers. An excellent day

Work in progress for a small 'nine lives' exhibition. I've called my cat Pip in honour of @pperry.bsky.social whose blue cat is have based this on. I hope she doesn't mind. #pottery #ceramics

New slip cast beakers. Loving the glazing. #pottery #ceramics

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

New job needed asap. Apologies for the LinkedIn attachment. *I may have a glass of red and swear at Alan Sugar a lot, later tonight*
