The cost of meeting the nurses' pay demand - £1.6bn 🏥 Cost of Sunak's bank tax giveaway - £7.3bn 💸 They have the money to give nurses a proper pay rise- they just don't want to. RT if you back a real pay rise for our nurses 👊

@Indigoatcrafts @handymelon @hookedonjersey I've taken one before. (Never a favourite, just in case!) If it has yarn with it there will be fewer puzzled people in security. Knitting needles are more of an issue!

@SueArcher6 @LucyMcCaul @GuildOfMakers From memory, in under 30 seconds, with an audience... (I mean it is unlikely to be better without those constraints, but you might get closer to the original!)

@SueArcher6 @LucyMcCaul @GuildOfMakers Luckily the interactive whiteboard file wasn't saved so nobody else will ever be subjected to that particularly awful attempt!

@GuildOfMakers If I could make at that scale, I'd want to make things for medical purposes. I was always better at the theory of chemistry than the practical though. #MakersHour

@SueArcher6 @LucyMcCaul @GuildOfMakers I once had a whole class of 8 year olds squint and tilt their heads (unprompted) when I attempted to draw a guinea pig. One child did guess it might be a horse because they're hard to draw. Horses have always been beyond my ability.

@52_square @GuildOfMakers My niece had the canal boat too! Her cardboard box houses were way more intricate than mine ever were but it was nice to see my Sylvanians moving up in the world.

@GuildOfMakers I never throw things away and try to use what I have. I'm using more recycled yarn as I find sources for it. If I make mistakes, I frog and reuse the yarn so mistakes don't create waste. #MakersHour

@52_square @GuildOfMakers My Sylvanian Families had a block of flats as far as I remember.

@GuildOfMakers Person: probably my dad, he was a graphic designer and keen woodworker so lots of interesting things around. What: cardbord boxes - the possibilities are endless (especially if you're little and imagination and reality don't need to match!) #MakersHour

Please retweet if you find Braverman's Nazi era posturing and rhetoric disgusting, and would like to see her removed from Office immediately, and prosecuted for hate speech
