We have this Green party leader
dancing around like a demented
numpty and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey
mounting one stupid stunt after
another. Polls currently give them
around 35% of the vote combined. No
wonder we are increasingly regarded as
not a serious country. Because we're
not.

My debut novel, These Mortal Bodies, is a Kindle 99p monthly deal if you like your books slow-burn, atmospheric, and equal parts dark and glitz and glamour. A gothic campus novel described as Saltburn meets the Craft meets Mean girls 📚 #BookSky

Word of the day is ‘foozle’, from the 19th century: of a golfer, to bungle a shot. More generally, to make a complete mess of something.

As parents, we're supposed to remember the first time we did stuff with our kids, but the last time is equally as significant, if not more. This poem is from Whatever You Do, Just Don't (HappenStance Press, 2023), my second full collection...
