"We constantly hear there’s no money left,” Polanski said, “but actually there is a lot of wealth in this country… but we are taxing people who are working really hard far more than we’re taxing wealth.” He added: “that’s totally the wrong way round!”

I had a right old rant about Tony Blair's ignorant, self-interested statement on The Jeremy Vine Show today. I mentioned that he has worked as a lobbyist for PetroSaudi, earning Tony Blair Associates £41,000/month, plus 2% of any deal he brokered.

Just over a week to go and I’m very excited about the first Art of Rewilding workshop (Thursday 8th May 10am-3pm) at this gorgeous Wiltshire Rewilding site.

Why not join us? We’ll be using visual art processes to learn about and record the animals that live on site.

Please donate if you can - my very dear friends Becky & Jeremy in Brighton, UK are raising money to get their daughter the assistance dog she desperately needs. Times are hard but anything you can give would be much appreciated 🙏🏼

Since the Supreme Court seems to think same sex parents don’t exist, today seems like a good day to post my family’s Easter picture.
