Brexit red-tape has created nearly 2 BILLION extra pieces of paperwork for British businesses.

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:

Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.
Sending solidarity and birthday wishes to Gaie Delap, a peaceful climate protester who is spending her 78th birthday behind bars – all because the private company responsible for fitting electronic tags couldn't find one the right size for her. Will keep pushing for her release.
I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left).

Encouraging words from Cllr Tony Dyer Leader @BristolCouncil speaking of collaboration, hope and climate action.. giving proper credit to his predecessors 😊
