More depressing - but not unsurprising- news about the state of the arts in the UK: “Working-class creatives don’t stand a chance in UK today, leading artists warn” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/culture/2025... This should be top of your ministerial red box @lisanandymp.bsky.social

Thanks for the amazing response to yesterday’s seascape I posted. If you liked that, why not bookmark www.adailysea.com? A daily photograph looking out to sea from Brighton, which I began on 19 March 2020 when the Covid-19 lockdown in the UK was announced, and continued almost daily for a year. 😎
