An honour to speak at the inspiring Refuge to Ravens exhibition in Parliament.
It's hugely moving to see William Wordsworth's lyrical ballads - which were about giving voice to people who were marginalised or homeless - brought to the corridors of power in Westminster.

Great to listen to @timfarron at @ZwiebelfishCIC 's exhibit in Westminster "Refuge from the Ravens" which supported people experiencing rough sleeping and precarious living talk about their lives through Wordsworth's "Lyrical Ballads".

A nice cup of tea with friends ... cheers m'dears! @WCumbriaCarers @TheOCShap #COSC The Wordsworths would surely have approved - Mr. Twining called #DoveCottage in August 1800! @WordsworthGras @CuratorWT PS the Wordsworths also dried & gave away their used tealeaves. Just saying!
