"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Occasionally I still make a contact with someone my age and their email address is crazyfunnygirl@ somthing or other. And theyre an educational psychologist or play worker and I have to respect them for sticking with it.

From my many trips to union conferences, I know that the views of the sorts of people who turn up and vote are poles apart from the typical views of membership. So, I hold on to that. But it makes me sick to my stomach and deeply worried.

I've been watching this in dismay. I felt I should leave the party - would love persuasive reason to stay. The motion is awful, the vote in favour is shocking and the absence of leadership from Polanski is more than troubling.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Title: Just announced! Three new Gruffalo books commissioned from bestselling authors!

Lee Chilld:
The Gruffalo just wants a quiet life, but when a crime syndicate moves into the deep dark wood, he must use his terrible claws and the terrible teeth in his terrible jaws to protect the fellow.

Sally Rooney:
The Gruffalo moves to contemporary Dublin. He  
ill ever see past his orange eyes, purple prickles and poisonous wart.

Kazuo Ishiguro:
After a long absence, the gruffalo returns to the forest and attempts to make sense of his past. Encounters with a mouse, a fox, an owl and a snake uncover long-buried memories, regrets and revelations.
