The other parties are right not to stand against Farage. Though he only got 46% of the vote in 2024 and if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from Lib Dem bar charts it means… ONLY COUNT BINFACE CAN WIN HERE!

The social media ban for under 16 will work, when I was a teenager under 16 couldn’t buy cigarettes and under 18 couldn’t buy alcohol and we never saw someone underage smoking or drunk.

Happy 100th birthday to the late and undeniably great Dario Fo, the great proof that you can be deeply, politically radical, raising consciousness, stimulating rage and understanding in equal measure... and still be funny as fuck.
Dario Fo in Morte Accidentale di un Anarchico [Accidental Death of an Anarchist] in 1970. The photo shows him taking the phone away from his ear and laughing with his brilliant huge comic teeth.

It’s hard to take the people fanning outrage online about the actor playing Anne Boleyn seriously, because they give the vibe of someone who 500 years ago would be in favour of her murder.

Adolescence is incredible television there is and will be a lot of talk about it in response to online radicalisation/Tate, but it’s about so much more than this current moment. It’s about the failure of men to talk, share their emotions and challenge toxic and violent masculinity.

Cheeseboard question when you order a cheeseboard at restaurant why is there never enough crackers/bread? Why is the ratio always off? Surely that’s the cheap part? Is it a scam to get me to pay extra for more crackers/bread, am eating cheese wrong or is something else going on?

Perhaps if you’re the parent of a SEN child and you have public platform and a national newspaper interviews you, maybe use that to advocate for better support for all SEN children rather than complain about having to pay VAT on your private school bill.

Writing is a process some days you are crafting witty lines of dialogue, imagining new worlds, searching into the hearts of characters and spinning yarns, on others you’re at the fridge eat grated cheese straight from the bag…it’s all part of a process.

I say this to all my male followers with love in the same way I do with my family and friends - have those uncomfortable conversations with the men in your life. Don’t allow the casual misogyny in conversations. Challenge abusive behaviour. Do the work. It’s on you. It always has been.
