Say hello to our clay palomas who have flown all the way to the UK from Amatenango del Valle, #Chiapas, #Mexico. Not sure if they were made by Doña Juliana who was well known for making pots from barro in the shape of the bird which symbolises peace #BMSartesanía @britmexsociety
TODAY - there’s still time to join the @britmexsociety book club online session with author Andrew Paxman and hear him speak about William Jenkins, the Carlos Slim of his day. #Mexico
Excellent contributions from all speakers including Richard Burgon MP Jen Craft MP Ashley Dalton MP Anna Dixon MP for Shipley 💙Rachael Maskell MP Amanda Louise Martin Sharon Hodgson Cllr Claire Young MP 🔶 Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 Kim Leadbeater MBE MP Fred Thomas MP David Davis MP Jim Shannon MP Shaun Davies MP James Wild MP
Fascinating talk from Andrew Paxman for @britmexsociety on his book ‘Jenkins of México’ about William Jenkins who “launched what was probably the first corporate takeover in #Mexico” “In post revolutionary Mexico, philanthropy has often been undertaken for political or business gain.”
The other Private Members ballot held this week … #Oasis #Tickets #Accessibility ticketmasteruk

Plenty of food for thought from yesterday’s session on #Procurement Institute for Government with input from Cabinet Office, Army’s Andy Milner, Peter Schofield, Head of Procurement (Manchester City Council) & Burges Salmon’s Laura Wisdom Glad to hear references to #HumanRights & #SocialValue
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Institute for Government session on #Procurement IfG events #Corruption #Transparency
“It is hard to overstate the importance of unpaid family carers.” - new MP Anna Dixon MP for Shipley #ValueCarers #UnpaidCarers
Plenty of new faces at Deirdre Costigan MP’s #WestminsterHall debate on the government’s priorities for the upcoming #COP29 in November. Pippa Heylings 🔶️ seeking assurance that govt will name/send a climate envoy & Uma Kumaran MP looking for commitments re a just energy transition.
Trust Jim Shannon MP - aka The Honourable Member for Westminster Hall - to remember the plight of #Waspi and #50sWomen who, in addition to suffering loss/delay of their pensions, will now lose #WinterFuelPayment
“My constituents are pleading I do something and I am trying…” No one in York Central could complain that 💙Rachael Maskell MP hasn’t been working her socks off for those she told today’s Westminster Hall debate are “frightened.” #WinterFuelPayments
