Singer Sinéad O'Connor was told by her record label to look more feminine, which she not only ignored but rebelled against. She later wrote an open letter to Miley Cyrus warning of the misogynistic manipulation of women by the music industry #WomensArt

I’ve binge watched Adolescence today. What an incredible feat of acting, script writing, and filming. It’s stunning. Worth a year’s Netflix subscription on its own.

Five years ago the world very suddenly became a scary place.

On this day of reflection I'm remembering how it showed the best of people - the desire to look after and help each other by making selfless sacrifices.

The bust of Sir Winston Churchill sits in Trump's Oval Office. He was an immensely brave leader who visited Washington, dressed in fatigues, seeking support against a despot. We all know what he would have made of today's unedifying spectacle and whose side he would have been on.
