I’m a curator. I go fly fishing and I sometimes write about it.

Very pleased to say that tickets for the #crowntocouture conference can now be bought!! It’s a wonderful lineup mixing both academia, performance and fashion world professionals. hrp.org.uk/about-us/research…
How wonderful that the people of Birmingham and beyond have such a wonderful collection to enjoy.
A BBC investigation's found the City Council owns a collection valued at £451 million.

The daft thing is, we’ve been worrying about the wrong kind of immigration. Allowing the international super rich to buy vast swathes of London and the South East, as housing became unaffordable for everyone else, that was the real mistake.
Amazing woman. What a choice to have made!

It's official! I have been sworn in as the new @libdems MP for #EsherAndWalton
It is the honour of my life to have been elected to represent this fantastic constituency I am so proud to call my home. I am so grateful for everyone who put their faith in me to do so. 1/2
All these men commenting on women’s fashion choices. It’s such a privileged take. A man just needs to wear a suit and tie and as long as it’s not ginormous or skimpy it’s fine. If I had just got a cabinet position damn right I’d wear something a bit spenny

Ukraine’s ongoing fight against Russian aggression matters to all of us.
The UK’s support remains unshakable.
I look forward to seeing President @ZelenskyyUa soon.
I was pleased to speak with @Keir_Starmer on the day of his appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
I congratulated Sir Keir Starmer on his election victory and wished him success in fulfilling the British people's expectations of the new government.
I am grateful to Prime Minister Starmer for reaffirming the UK's principled and unwavering support for Ukraine.
We coordinated positions ahead of the NATO Summit in Washington and other international events, as well as discussed ways to strengthen our partnership, including the preparation of an unprecedented 100-year partnership agreement between Ukraine and the UK.

Key chart to keep in mind as the Conservatives suffer their worst ever defeat:
The Tories didn’t lose this election because they were too right wing on some issues or too left wing on others.
They lost because voters of all stripes judged them to be incompetent and dishonest.
Lucia Bridgman’s High Sheriff outfit is making waves- showing the impact and continued relevance of ceremonial dress!
