Brexit: Johnson condemned for dropping pledge to replace family reunion law

theguardian.com/world/2019/dec…

150 years ago today, at precisely 8pm, the world of art changed forever.

What happened? A small, independent art exhibition opened in Paris.

It was a financial failure and barely 3,000 people went — but, in time, these artists would come to be known as 'the Impressionists'...

It was a total pleasure Clare Lawlor

Just seen a job for £26k whose responsibility is to write and implement a strategy for inclusion and diversity for an entire museum and all its functions as part of an NLHF project. And we wonder why we don’t make progress in these areas of practice. 🤬🥲

And personally I don’t think it’s unreasonable for organisations to pay above their usual rate for talks. This is not a usual talk and your usual rates are awful. Budget for more.

For the love of god, please pay people appropriately when they are doing talks etc for Black History Month. It takes time to plan & produce the talk but most organisations seem to be offering pay like I’m just turning up and saying stuff off the top of my head 🙅🏽‍♀️

yes, these are real medieval dog names
