Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

It's like the knuckle draggers that attack ambulances or fire engines, but worse because its race related. Support all the heroic life savers.

A herd of cattle strolling along a Dorset beach on a beautiful warm evening earlier this summer, with low clouds in the distance and the faint shapes of the curving cliffs of Lyme Bay. This is one of many things I've written about on my website/newsletter lately. If you'd like to subscribe, via the link I've included, a lot of what I post on there is free, and you can read *everything* I post for a minimum of £1.66 per month. Ultimately I'd like to focus more on the writing there and in my books in the near future and less on social media. If you subscribe, it helps me do that, and offers me a way to communicate outside the frantic rush of everything. I feel utterly, utterly burned out from book promotion lately. I don't enjoy a moment of it, aside from the feeling that it makes me realise what I write is being read and enjoyed and that I'm not shouting into the void. I don't want to be trying to get enough sales to be taken seriously by the book industry, trying to make publishers deem me as worthwhile, trying to somehow compete with the insane pace of this site and the weird dissonance and chaos that comes from communicating simultaneously with people who barely look at it and people who are on it all day. None of that is why I decided to be a writer. I want to read, jot down a load of stuff in notebooks, mess about with new ideas, hang out with interesting human beings and be out in the world. Those are the things that make me a better, happier writer and person. So I'm going to have a little break and be a bit of a creative dosser for a while rather than the digital workaholic that our new robot universe and the injustices of the publishing industry are striving to turn me into.

The EU is tackling the issue of youth mental health by focusing on early intervention and fighting stigma. If you or someone you know ever needs a safe space to talk, call: 📞116 111📞 It’s a continent-wide network of free, anonymous youth support lines. You're not broken, you're human.
The image shows four battery icons (from left to right): a fully charged green, a partially charged light green, a yellow battery  with nearby text saying: 'take a break at this point', and a red one labelled 'not this', indicating exhaustion or burnout. There is also a minimalistic tangled line representing a brain, and a small European Union logo in the top right corner.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Climate is a pattern, and the pattern has changed. = Climate Change
Graphic reading, “The difference between ‘There used to be hot summers too.’ and climate crisis.” Below is a temperature-anomaly chart showing mostly blue, cooler-than-average years in the earlier record, shifting dramatically toward sustained red, warmer-than-average years in recent decades. Occasional earlier red bars are labelled “These were hot summers,” while the sustained cluster of increasingly warm recent years is labelled “This is climate change.”
