I once again find myself wondering what this country would look like today if the Green Party had been given even half the media attention that Farage’s various vanity projects got over the last ten years.

Big, somewhat leftfield news: I am kicking off a podcast with the wonderful @emmanewman.bsky.social under the title Starship Alexandria. It's a cosy book and film recommendation show where we take it in turns to rec things to one another and discuss them.

All poets write terrible poems. The difference is that the bad poets have theirs published, the good poets burn theirs.

Got to chat about one of my all-time favourite films, as well as getting some fascinating insight from Martin, whom I could listen to all day long on this. Don’t miss it.

If anyone I know is still on Twitter- it's where I used to do #RememberedMums. I can't get in now (deleted account) so if you could mention the reading-out-of names is here now, that'd be lovely, cheers.
