It's been a nasty old pleasure to sneak back into #TheSkewer like it's 2020 all over again. Turns out the password was still CovidLolz69. Ongoing congrats to @jonholmes.bsky.social and @tonychurnside.bsky.social, who are yet to answer for their crimes. 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

You may have seen that Keir Starmer apologised for the forced adoption scandal of the 50s/60s/70s this week. I made an (award winning!) documentary about my own forced adoption and now, with perfect timing, it’s back on Radio 4. Have a listen. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
