Paul is a wonderful photographer - his #photography on this BlueSky is stunning and this photo of the cottage is one of the best.
'The Quiet Cottage'
A classic image made in #Connemara, back in 2020. One of those shoots that just stays with you. I’ve since photographed this location a few times since, but never as successfully as I did on my first visit.

Fantastic news! The Chancellor just announced the end of the 2 child limit. This will protect 100s of 1000s of children from growing up facing hunger & hardship, ease pressure on public services & boost our economy. #Budget2025

The Israeli hostages have been released and the world has looked away. The genocide continues in Gaza while Israeli military continues supporting illegal settlers as they attack Palestinians who live legally in the West Bank.
Israeli group B’Tselem notes that, since a supposed “ceasefire” in Gaza, Israel has:
* killed 345 Palestinians,
* denied food to 70% of the population who need it,
* demolished a further 1,500 buildings.
All of this is in blatant violation of the agreement.

We have known for some time how the pursuit and collection of public debt inflicts further financial harm on some of our poorest families.

We've published new research today with partners @aberlourcharity.bsky.social & @opfs.org.uk revealing that women in Scotland are often caught in a cycle of public debt which traps their family in hardship.
