A NEW collection of ceramics produced by an influential artist is set to be displayed in a museum later this week. Hove Museum and Art Gallery will reopen on July 26 with a show from the grand wizard of studio ceramics Richard Slee. The exhibition will consist of a series of objects and installations inspired by Mass Observations (MO) 1937 Mantelpiece Reports, which was social research initiated by the University of Sussex in the 1930s. The first initiative, the Mantelpiece Directive, invited its national panel of volunteers to share what was on their mantelpieces, leading to conclusions that ordinary objects are full of meaning to their owners.

Don Tonge has been photographing his hometown of Bolton since the late 1960s. Starting out as an amateur, he won a photography competition organised by Granada Television in 1981. This launched his career as a press and theatre photographer. For this exhibition, Don has selected his favourite images from a single decade: the 1970s. Don said: “It was in the late 1960s that I got the photography bug. I would wander the streets as there was always something happening: a man carrying a table top on his shoulders, football supporters balanced precariously on a high wall or kids playing and shouting, ‘Hey mister, take our photo!’

Stella Kyriakides, the EU s health commissioner, who said of AstraZeneca s vaccine supply: We reject the logic of first come, first served. That might work at the neighbourhood butchers but not on our contracts

SIR – Reading between the lines, it looks as though the AstraZeneca plant in Belgium is having scale-up problems. Hence its “best efforts” fall well short of the EU’s belated order.
With our astounding success at securing supplies of vaccines, why don’t we offer to divert any excess UK-made supplies to the EU – provided it cuts the unnecessary bureaucracy on our exports?
